The frictional force is 39.4 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's 2nd law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on the block is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration. So we can write

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

Here we know that the box is moving with constant velocity, so its acceleration is zero:

a=0

This means that the net force is also zero:

\sum F=0

The net force on the block is given by the applied force, forward, and the frictional force, backward:

\sum F = F_a-F_f=0

where

F_a=39.4 N is the applied force

F_f is the frictional force

Therefore, solving for F_f,

F_f=F_a=39.4 N

Can you have zero displacement and nonzero average velocity? Zero displacement and nonzero velocity? Illustrate your answers on
Svetlanka [38]

a) Not possible

b) Yes, it's possible (see graph in attachment)

Explanation:

a)

The average velocity of a body is defined as the ratio between the displacement and the time elapsed:

v=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta x is the displacement

\Delta t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we want to have zero displacement and non-zero average velocity. From the equation above, we see that this is not possible. In fact, if the total displacement is zero,

\Delta x = 0

And therefore as a consequence,

v=0

which means that the average velocity is zero.

B)

Here we want to have zero displacement and non-zero velocity. In this case, it is possible: in fact, we are not talking  about average velocity, but we are talking about (instantaneous) velocity.

On a position-time graph, the instantaneous velocity is the slope of the graph. Look at the graph in attachment. We see that the position of the object first increases towards positive value, then it decreases (the object starts moving backward), then becomes negative, then it increases again until returning to the original position, x = 0.

In all of this, we notice that the total displacement of the object is zero:

\Delta x = 0

However, we notice that the instantaneous velocity of the object at the various instants is not zero, because the slope of the graph is not zero.

Ezekiel pushes a 34 kg sled with 101 N for 8.0 m. How much work did he do on the sled?
Simora [160]

Answer: 810 J

Explanation: work W = F·s = 101 N · 8.0 m = 808 J

Force F = u mg = 101 N in which u is friction constant. Also mass is included in force.

How much heat is needed to bring 12.0 g of water from 28.3 °C to 43.87 °C, if the specific heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/(g•
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

Heat capacity, Q = 781.74 Joules

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 12g

Initial temperature = 28.3°C

Final temperature = 43.87°C

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184J/g°C

To find the quantity of heat needed?

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 43.87 - 28.3

dt = 15.57°C

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Q = 12*4.184*15.57

Q = 781.74 Joules

Answer:

When the image distance is positive, the image is on the same side of the mirror as the object, and it is real and inverted. When the image distance is negative, the image is behind the mirror, so the image is virtual and upright.
