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

10. Hamilton How long does it take Lewis travelling at 156 m.p.h to cover 16 miles?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Hello!

Lewis is travelling at 165 mph, which means miles per hour, this says that he does 165 miles in one hour.

We want to know how much time takes to cover 16 miles.

this can be calculated as the quotient of the distance and the velocity; this is:

t = \frac{16 mi}{165 mi/h} = 0.096 h

if we want to write this in minutes, then:

we know that one hour has 60 minutes, then 0.096 hours has:

0.096h*60mins/1h = 5.8 minutes.

then Lewis needs 5.8 minutes in order to cover 16 miles if his speed is 156 miles per hour.

The intensity of the Sun's light in the vicinity of the Earth is about 1000W/m^2. Imagine a spacecraft with a mirrored square sa
NeX [460]

Explanation:

Formula to represent thrust is as follows.

             F = \frac{dP}{dt}

                = \frac{2p}{dt}

or,           p = \frac{E}{c}

         \frac{p}{dt} = \frac{W}{c}

                  F = \frac{2IA}{c}

                     = \frac{2 (1000 W/m^{2})(5.5 \times 10^{3} m)^{2}}{3 \times 10^{8} m/s}

                     = 201.67 N

Thus, we can conclude that the thrust is 201.67 N.

How long does it take for a train to increase its velocity from 10m/s to 40m/s if it accelerates at 3 m/s
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

Vi = 10 m/s

Vf = 40 m/s

a = 3 m/s^2

Formula

a = (vf - vi) /t              Substitute the givens into this formuls

Solution

3 = (40 - 10) / t          Multiply both sides by t

3*t = t(40 - 10)/t        Combine. Cancel t's on the right

3*t = 30                     Divide by 3

3t/3 = 30 / 3

Answer: t = 10 seconds.

How does earths magnetic field protect us from solar flares
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
