A 50.0-kg box is being pulled along a horizontal surface by means of a rope that exerts a force of 250 n at an angle of 32.0° ab

ove the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the surface is 0.350. what is the acceleration of the box?

According to Newton's second law, the resultant of the forces acting on the box is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
\sum F = ma (1)

we are only concerned about the horizontal direction, so there are only two forces acting on the box in this direction:
- the horizontal component of the force exerted by the rope, which is equal to
F_x = F cos \theta = (250N)(\cos 32.0^{\circ} )=212.0 N
- the frictional force, acting in the opposite direction, which is equal to
F_f = \mu mg=(0.350)(50.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=171.7 N

By applying Newton's law (1), we can calculate the acceleration of the box:
F_x - F_f = ma
a= \frac{F_x - F_f}{m}= \frac{212.0 N-171.7 N}{50.0 kg} =0.81 m/s^2

Assume this 1.20-mm-radius copper wire is electrically neutral in the Earth reference frame, in which it is at rest and carrying
agasfer [191]

Answer:

The charge density in the system is 4.25*10^4C/m

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to keep in mind the concepts related to current and voltage through the density of electrons in a given area, considering their respective charge.

Our data given correspond to:

r=1*10^{-3}m\\v = 5.2*10^{-4}m/s\\e= 1.6*10^{-19}C

We need to asume here the number of free electrons in a copper conductor, at which is generally of 8.5 *10^{28}m^{-3}

The equation to find the current is

I = VenA

Where

I =Current

V=Velocity

A = Cross-Section Area

e= Charge for a electron

n= Number of free electrons

Then replacing,

I = (5.2*10^{-4})(1.6*10^{-19})(88.5 *10^{28})(\pi(1*10^{-3})^2)

I= 22.11a

Now to find the linear charge density, we know that

I = \frac{Q}{t} \rightarrow Q = It

Where:

I: current intensity

Q: total electric charges

t: time in which electrical charges circulate through the conductor

And also that the velocity is given in proportion with length and time,

V_d = \frac{l}{t} \rightarrow l = V_d t

The charge density is defined as

\lambda = \frac{Q}{l}\\\lambda = \frac{It}{V_d t}\\\lambda = \frac{I}{V_d}

Replacing our values

\lambda = \frac{22.11}{5.20*10{-4}}

\lambda= 4.25*10^4C/m

Therefore the charge density in the system is 4.25*10^4C/m

Show that atmosphere exerts pressure.
Maru [420]

Because gas particles in the air like particles of all fluids are constantly moving and bumping into things, they exert pressure. The pressure exerted by the air in the atmosphere is greater close to Earth's surface and decreases as you go higher above the surface.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Fill roughly one-third of a cup with water. Then, cover the mouth of the cup completely with a flat, hard cardboard. Using your hand to keep it in place, turn the cup upside down. When you remove your hand, the the cardboard stays in place.
  • One would expect that due to gravity, the water will fall, and even the cardboard will. However, it does not, which means that something must be applying an upward force on the cardboard. This is nothing other than air pressure, which applies a force across the surface of the cardboard in an upward direction.
  • Thus we can demonstrate that air exerts pressure, because otherwise, the water would have fallen.
