Two children push on heavy crate that rests on a basement floor. one pushes horizontally with a force of 150 N and the other pus

hes in the same direction with a force of 180 N. The crate remains stationary. Show that the force of friction between the crate the floor is 330 N.

The force of friction is 330 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:

sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the crate in this problem, we have 3 forces acting on it:

- The force applied by the 1st child, F_1 = 150 N forward

- The force applied by the 2nd child, F_2 = 180 N

- The force of friction, F_f, acting backward

So the net  force is

\sum F = F_1 + F_2 - F_f

We also know that the crate remains stationary, which means that its acceleration is zero:

a = 0

Therefore, we can rewrite Newton's second law as

F_1 + F_2 - F_f = 0

From which we find

F_f = F_1+F_2 = 150 + 180 =330 N

“Is it correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave?
klio [65]

It's weird but technically correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave.  Radio and light are both electromagnetic waves.  The only difference is that radio waves have much much much longer wavelengths, and much much much lower frequencies, than light waves have.  But they're both the same physical phenomenon.

However, a radio wave CAN'T also be considered to be a sound wave.  These two things are as different as two waves can be.

-- Radio is an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a mechanical wave.

-- Radio waves travel more than 800 thousand times faster than sound waves do.

-- Radio waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

-- Radio waves can travel through empty space. Sound waves need material stuff to travel through.

-- Radio waves can be detected by radio, TV, and microwave receivers. Sound waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be detected by our ears. Radio waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be generated by talking, or by hitting a frying pan with a spoon. Radio waves can't.

-- Radio waves can be generated by an alternating current flowing through an isolated wire. Sound waves can't.

A bicyclist travels 4.5 km west, then travels 6.7 km at an angle 27.0 degrees South of West. What is the magnitude of the bicycl
Dimas [21]

Answer:

<em>10.90km</em>

Explanation:

Magnitude of the total displacement is expressed using the equation

d = √dx²+dy²

dx is the horizontal component of the displacement

dy is the vertical component of the displacement

dy = -6.7sin27°

dy = -6.7(0.4539)

dy = -3.042

For the  horizontal component of the displacement

dx = -4.5 - 6.7cos27

dx = -4.5 -5.9697

dx = -10.4697

Get the magnitude of the bicyclist's total displacement

Recall that: d = √dx²+dy²

d = √(-3.042)²+(-10.4697)²

d = √9.2538+109.6146

d = √118.8684

<em>d = 10.90km</em>

<em>Hence the magnitude of the bicyclist's total displacement is 10.90km</em>

<em></em>
