A student pushes on a 20.0 kg box with a force of 50 N at an angle of 30° below the horizontal. The box accelerates at a rate of

0.5 m/s2 across a horizontal floor. What is the value of the normal force on the box? 200 N 243 N 156 N 225 N

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

"Below the horizontal" means he's pushing down at an angle.

Draw a free body diagram of the box.  There are three forces: normal force N pushing up, weight force mg pulling down, and the applied force F at an angle θ.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg − F sin θ = 0

N = F sin θ + mg

Plug in values:

N = (50 N) (sin 30°) + (20.0 kg) (10 m/s²)

N = 225 N

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

This problem can be better understood graphically, so in the attached image we will use a diagram of a positive displacement air pump.

We can see that when she pushes the plunger, we see that the volume decreases.

What is the term of movement in a particular direction
Art [367]
That is a vector. It is a combination of direction and velocity. (You can think of Vector from Despicable Me to help you remember the term)

If I want to calculate the normal force of an object on two legs but the weight of the object is not uniform throughout, how do
RoseWind [281]

Use the right equation. To calculate the normal force of an object at an angle, you need to use the formula: N = m * g * cos (x) For this equation, N refers to the normal force, m refers to the object's mass, g refers to the acceleration of gravity, and x refers to the angle of incline.

Which equation best describes the law of conservation of momentum?
NeX [460]
The law of conservation of momentum<span> states that for two objects colliding in an isolated system, the total </span>momentum<span> before and after the collision is equal. Momentum should be conserved. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Answer:

12N to the right.

Explanation:

There is a force of 12N upwards and a force of 12N downwards: these cancel out.

Assign a negative value to forces towards the left, and a positive value to the forces towards the right: -3N and +15N

Combine them: -3N+15N = 12N

The net force has a magnitude of 12N, and since our answer was positive, it acts towards the right.
