A box weighing 200N is pushed on a horizontal floor. What acceleration will result if a horizontal force of 100N is applied on t

Answer:

The acceleration of the block is 0.98 m/s².

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of a box, W = 200 N

Horizontal force acting on the box, F = 100 N

Coefficient of sliding friction is 0.4

Net force acting on the box, F_{net}=F-\mu W    

F_{net}=100-0.4\times 200  

F_{net}=20\ N  

Let a is the acceleration of the box. So,

a=\dfrac{F_{net}}{m}

Since, m=\dfrac{W}{g}=\dfrac{200}{9.8}=20.40\ kg

a=\dfrac{20}{20.40}

a=0.98\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the block is 0.98 m/s². Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

the friction force in the reverse direction is 200 *0.4=80 N.

the net forward force acting on the box is therefore

Fnet= 100 - 80  N

= 20 N

acceleration = Fnet / mass

=Fnet *g/(weight)

=20 *9.8/200 = 0.98 m/s^2

What is a partial and total lunar eclipse?
Minchanka [31]

Partial Lunar Eclipse:

A partial lunar eclipse is when the earth gets between the Sun and Moon. However, all three bodies are not in alignment meaning we are able to see some more like part of the moon's surface as it moves in route of the Earth's shadow.

Total Lunar Eclipse:

The three celestial bodies are perfectly aligned which allows for the earth to completely block the sun's rays from hitting/reaching the moon. The sun is positions is in back of the Earth which then causes the shadow of the earth to be cast on the Moon covering the moon completely. When that happens you get the phenomenon called a total lunar eclipse.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.

An object is allowed to fall freely near the surface of a planet. The object has an acceleration due to gravity of 24 m/s2. How
Alborosie

Answer:

12 m

Explanation:

The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For this problem,

g=24 m/s^2

and

u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion

So, substituting t = 1 s, we find

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(24)(1)^2=12 m

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

Explanation:

time of flight t = 2·V·sinθ/g

= (2 * 6.0m/s * sin35º) / 9.8m/s²

= 0.702 s

The body travels for this much time and cover horizontal displacement x from the point of lunch

So, use kinematic equation for horizontal motion

horizontal displacement

x = Vcosθ*t + ½at²

2.9 m = 6.0m/s * cos35º * 0.702s + ½a * (0.702s)²

a = -2.23 m/s²

This is the horizontal acceleration of the object.

Since the object is subject to only electric force in horizontal direction, this acceleration is due to electric force only

Therefore,the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile will be

F = m*|a|

= 0.015kg * 2.23m/s²

= 0.0335 N

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N
