A 37 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of block = 37 N

Coefficients of static = 0.8

Kinetic friction = 0.4

Tension = 24 N

We need to calculate the maximum friction force

Using formula of friction force

$f=\mu mg$

Put the value into the formula

$f=0.8\times37$

$f=29.6\ N$

So, the tension must exceeds 29.6 N for the block to move

We need to calculate the frictional force acting on the block

Using formula of frictional force

$f = \mu N$

Put the value in to the formula

$f=0.4\times37$

$f=14.8\ N$

Hence, The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

A 2.3 kg block of copper is heated at atmospheric pressure such that its temperature increases from 6 oC to 90 oC. How much heat

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat applied to a system is the difference between the initial and final energy considering that the mass and the specific heat do not change so we can infer the following equation

Q=mCp(T2-T1)

Where

Q=heat

m=mass=2.3kg

Cp=0.092 kcal/(kg C)=384.93J/kgK

T2=Final temperatura= 90C

T1= initial temperature=6 C

solving

$Q=(2.3kg)(384.93\frac{J}{kgC} )(90C-6C)=74368.476J$

the heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J
