Answer:

your weight changes slightly when you fly in an airplane

Explanation:

Technically, because gravity is weaker the farther you are from a gravitational source, your weight changes slightly when you fly in an airplane. It would change even more if you're in space or on a planet with a different mass than Earth.

The tension in the rope is constant and equal to 40 N as the block is pulled. What is the instantaneous power (in W) supplied by

Eduardwww [97]

Complete Question:

A 10 kg block is pulled across a horizontal surface by a rope that is oriented at 60° relative to the horizontal surface.

The tension in the rope is constant and equal to 40 N as the block is pulled. What is the instantaneous power (in W) supplied by the tension in the rope if the block when the block is 5 m away from its starting point? The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the floor is 0.2 and you may assume that the block starting at rest.

Answer:

Power = 54.07 W

Explanation:

Mass of the block = 10 kg

Angle made with the horizontal, θ = 60°

Distance covered, d = 5 m

Tension in the rope, T = 40 N

Coefficient of kinetic friction, $\mu = 0.2$

Let the Normal reaction = N

The weight of the block acting downwards = mg

The vertical resolution of the 40 N force, $f_{y} = 40sin \theta$

$\sum f(y) = 0$

$N + 40 sin \theta - mg = 0\\N = -40sin60 + 10*9.81 = 0\\N = 63.46 N$

$\sum f(x) = 0$

$40 cos 60 - f_{r} - ma = 0\\ f_{r} = \mu N\\ f_{r} = 0.2 * 63.46\\ f_{r} = 12.69 N\\40cos 60 - 12.69-10a = 0\\7.31 = 10a\\a = 0.731 m/s^{2}$

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as\\u = 0 m/s\\v^{2} = 2 * 0.731 * 5\\v^{2} = 7.31\\v = \sqrt{7.31} \\v = 2.704 m/s$

Power, $P = Fvcos \theta$

$P = 40 *2.704 cos60\\P = 54.074 W$

What conditions must be satisfied for a body to be in equilibrium <br>

dem82 [27]

For an object to be in equilibrium, it must be experiencing no acceleration. This means that both the net force and the net torque on the object must be zero.

A kite suspended in the sky is flowing back and forth. Which type of friction is being described?

Mice21 [21]

The type of friction of a kite suspended in the sky that is flowing back and forth is fluid friction. The fluid here is the air that helps the kite move back and forth. The kite feels a drag force due to air which acts in the upward direction.
