A person is straining to lift a large crate, without success because it is too heavy. We denote the forces on the crate as follo

ws: P is the upward force the person exerts on the crate, C is the vertical contact force exerted on the crate by the floor, and W is the weight of the crate. How are the magnitudes of these forces related while the person is trying unsuccessfully to lift the crate?

Answer:

P + C = W if in equilibrium?

P + C - W = 0; P + C = W

Explanation:

Action and reaction are equal and opposite according to newton's third law of motion. a force is that which tends to change a body's state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, recall

P is the upward force the person exerts on the crate,

C is the vertical contact force exerted on the crate by the floor,

W is the weight of the crate

let the sum of upward forces be on the left hand side of the equation and the sum of downward forces on the right hand side.

P+C=W

P+C-W=0 if they are in equilibrium

the forces are related by the above.

How much electrical energy is used by a 400 W toaster that is operating for 5 minutes?
Shkiper50 [21]

The electrical energy consumed by a toaster is 0.033 Kwh.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The power utilized by the toaster is 400 W.

\text { The power utilized by the toaster is } 400 \mathrm{W} \text { in kilo-watts is } \frac{400}{1000}=0.4 \mathrm{Kw}

The toaster is operated for 5 Minutes.

\text { The toaster is operated for } 5 \text { Minutes in hours is } \frac{5}{60}=0.083 \text { hours. (One minute is } 60 \text { seconds) }

We know that,

\text {power}=\frac{\text {energy}}{\text {time}}

Substitute the values in the above formula to obtain electrical energy,

0.4=\frac{\text { energy }}{0.083}

Electrical energy = 0.4 × 0.083

Electrical energy is 0.033 Kwh.
