Three boxes rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor. Their masses are 5.0 kg, 3.0 kg, and 2.0 kg, with the 3.0-kg mass i

n the center. A force of 50 N pushes on the 5.0-kg box, which pushes against the other two boxes. What magnitude force does the 5.0-kg box exert on the 3.0-kg box?

Answer:25 N

Explanation:

Given

mass of 5 , 3 & 2 kg blocks lie on floor

Force on 50 N pushes the 5 kg box

Let N_1 be the reaction on 2 kg box therefore

N_1=2\times a

where a is the acceleration of the system

N_2=reaction on 3 kg block by 5 kg block

N_2-N_1=3a

N_2=5a

Now for 5 kg block

F-N_2=5a

F=10a

a=\frac{F}{10}=5 m/s^2

Force exerted by 5 kg block on 3 kg block is

N_2=5\times 5=25 N

The formula for this problem that we will be using is:
F * cos α = m * g * μs where:F = 800m = 87g = 9.8
cos α = m*g*μs/F= 87*9.8*0.55/800= 0.59 So solving the alpha, find the arccos above.
α = arccos 0.59 = 54 ° is the largest value of alpha

Temperature is related to a physical change of a substance because it determines the state of the object via cooling, heating or freezing. To make the concept clear, hear are some examples:-
1. Chocolate melts and turns into liquid form. This is a physical change
2. Water freezes via cooling and forms ice which is in a solid state. This is another physical change

Hope this helped and have a nice day : )

If Sarah melts 10g of tin. What mass of melted tin would she have at the end of the experiment?​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

10g

Explanation:

As the Law of Conservation of Mass states that " Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction".

Though melting of tin isn't a chemical change, the same logic is applied here...

Hence,

The mass of tin will be 10 g itself...
