The mass of the iceberg is 71.9 kg
Explanation:
The amount of thermal energy needed to completely melt a substance at its melting point is given by
where
is the latent heat of fusion
m is the mass of the substance
In this problem, we have a block of ice at its melting point (zero degrees). The amount of heat given to the block is
And the latent heat of fusion of ice is
So, we can re-arrange the equation to find m, the amount of ice that will melt:

Answer:
<em>The final speed of the vehicle is 36 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Uniform Acceleration</u>
When an object changes its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.
The relation between the initial and final speeds is:
Where:
vf = Final speed
vo = Initial speed
a = Constant acceleration
t = Elapsed time
The vehicle starts from rest (vo=0) and accelerates at a=4.5 m/s2 for t=8 seconds. The final speed is:
The final speed of the vehicle is 36 m/s
Answer:
(a) Magnitude of static friction force is 109 N
(b) Minimum possible value of static friction is 0.356
Solution:
As per the question;
Horizontal force exerted by the girl, F = 109 N
Mass of the crate, m = 31.2 kg
Now,
(a) To calculate the magnitude of static friction force:
Since, the crate is at rest, the forces on the crate are balanced and thus the horizontal force is equal to the frictional force, f:
F = f = 109 N
(b) The maximum possible force of friction between the floor and the crate is given by:
where
N = Normal reaction = mg
Thus
For the crate to remain at rest, The force exerted on the crate must be less than or equal to the maximum force of friction.
