A child pushes horizontally on a box of mass m which moves with constant speed v across a horizontal floor. The coefficient of f

riction between the box and the floor is μ. At what rate does the child do work on the box?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of box is m

speed of box is v

coefficient of friction \mu =\frac{1}{4}=0.25

Box is moving at a constant speed i.e. Net Force on box is zero

i.e. Frictional Force and Force Applied are Equal

F=f_r=\mu mg

The Rate at which power is generated is

P=F\cdot v

P=\mu mg\cdot v

P=0.25mgv

A charge q1 = +5.00 nC is placed at the origin of an xy-coordinate system, and a charge q2 = -2.00 nC is placed on the positive
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

a

The  x- and y-components of the total force exerted is

           F_{31 +32} =  (8.64i - 5.52 j) *10^{-5}

b

 The magnitude of the force is  

            |F_{31 +32}| = 10.25 *10^{-5} N

   The direction of the force is  

         \theta =327.43 ^o   Clockwise from x-axis

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The magnitude of the first charge is q_1 = +5.00nC = 5.00*10^{-9}C

      The magnitude of the second charge is q_2 = -2.00nC = -2.00*10^{-9}C

        The position of the second charge  from the first one is  d_{12} = 4.00i \  cm = \frac{4.00i}{100} = 4.00i *10^{-2} m

        The  magnitude of the third charge is q_3 = +6.00nC = 6.00*10^{-9}C

       The position of the third charge from the first one is  \= d_{31} = (4i + 3j) cm = \frac{ (4i + 3j)}{100} =  (4i + 3j) *10^{-2}m

                |d_{31}| =(\sqrt{4 ^2 + 3^2}) *10^{-2} m

                |d_{31}| =5 *10^{-2} m

        The position of the third charge from the second  one is

                \= d_{32} = 3j cm = 3j *10^{-2}m

               |d_{32}| =(\sqrt{ 3^2}) *10^{-2} m

               |d_{32}| =3 *10^{-2} m

The force acting on the third charge due to the first and second charge is mathematically represented as

           F_{31 +32} = \frac{kq_3 q_1}{|d_{31}| ^3} *\= d_{31} + \frac{kq_3 q_2}{|d_{32}| ^3} *\= d_{32}

 Substituting values

          F_{31 +32} = \frac{9 *10^9 * 6 *10^{-9} * 5*10^{-9} }{(5*10^{-2}) ^3}  * (4i + 3j ) *10^{-2}  \\ \ +  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \   \frac{9 *10^9 * 6 *10^{-9} * -2*10^{-9} }{(5*10^{-2}) ^3}  * (4i + 3j ) *10^{-2}

            F_{31 +32} = 2.16 *10^{-5} (4i + 3j)  - 12*10^{-5} j

            F_{31 +32} =  (8.64i - 5.52 j) *10^{-5}

The magnitude of     F_{31 +32}  is mathematically evaluated as

            |F_{31 +32}| = \sqrt{(8.64^2 + 5.52 ^2) } *10^{-5}

             |F_{31 +32}| = 10.25 *10^{-5} N

The direction is obtained as

            tan \theta = \frac{-5.52 *10^{-5}}{8.64 *10^{-5}}

              \theta = tan ^{-1} [-0.63889]

             \theta = - 32.57 ^o

             \theta = 360 - 32.57

            \theta =327.43 ^o

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

5.25 J

Explanation:

W = PE = (f)(x)

PE = 35N*0.15m

PE = 5.25 N*m

1 N*m = 1 J

PE = 5.25 J

Un prisma rectangular de cobre, de base igual a 36 centímetros cuadrados y una altura de 10 cm se sumerge hasta la mitad por med
butalik [34]

La respuesta correcta es 180 centímetros cúbicos o 180 cm^{3}

Explicación:

El primer paso para saber cuanto alcohol desaloja el prisma es calcular el volumen total del prisma. El volumen se puede encontrar usando la formula V (Volumen) = B (base) x h (altura). El proceso se muestra a continuación:

V  = B x h

V = 36 cm^{2} x 10 cm

V= 360 cm^{3}

Finalmente, el volumen total del prisma debe dividirse en 2 considerando que solo la mitad del prisma fue sumergida y esta mitad equivale al volumen del alcohol desplazado.

360 cm^{3} ÷ 2 = 180 cm^{3}
