The resultant force on the box is C) 10 Newtons to the left.

Explanation:

The figure of the problem is attached.

We see that there are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:

- A force of 10 N acting to the right

- A force of 20 N acting to the left

By taking "to the right" as positive direction, we can rewrite the two forces as follows:

$F_1 = +10 N\\F_2 = -20 N$

Where the second force is negative since it acts to the left.

Since the two forces are in line, we can find their resultant simply by calculating their algebraic sum. By doing so, we find:

$F=F_1 + F_2 = +10 + (-20) = -10 N$

And the negative sign tells us that the direction is to the left.

Therefore, the correct answer is

C) 10 Newtons to the left.

Why can ultraviolet waves be dangerous

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

They can cause sunburn. Exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging of the skin and signs of sun damage such as wrinkles, leathery skin, liver spots, actinic keratosis, and solar elastosis. UV rays can also cause eye problems.

A stellar object is emitting radiation at 3.55 mm. If a detector is capturing 3.2×108 photons per second at this wavelength, wha

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

E = 6.45 x 10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

First we need to find total number of photons detected in 1 hour. Therefore,

No. of Photons = n = (3.2 x 10⁸ photons/s)(1 h)(3600 s/1 h)

n = 11.52 x 10¹¹ photons

Now, the energy of these photons can be given by the formula:

E = nhc/λ

where,

E = Total Energy of the Photons = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of radiation = 3.55 mm = 3.55 x 10⁻³ m

Therefore,

E = (11.52 x 10¹¹)(6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(3.55 x 10⁻³ m)

E = 6.45 x 10⁻¹¹ J

Can someone help with these?

B = 18 m

Theta = 112o

Solve

By = 18*sin(112) = 16.68

Bx = 18*cos(112) = -6.74

The answer is D

Seven

theta = - 40o It's going clockwise. You just put the angle in your calculator as -40o

By = 15*sin(-40) = -9.64

Bx = 15*con(-40) = 11.48

Answer: A

Eight.

I'm going to answer this one as it is written.

Fx = F * cos(37)

Fx = 20N * cos(37)

Fx = 15.87 N The answer is A.

Fy is not calculated for this because Fy pulls Rover up. He's not going to like that very much. You have to know this when you are walking your dog and you pull him up at an angle. Part of what you are doing is choking him for no good purpose. That's part of the physics of everyday living.
