Answer:

(a) FN = 24.18 N

(b) a = 22.87 m/s²

Explanation:

Newton's second law of the  block:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Forces acting on the box

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the block on the surface   and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

F₁ : Horizontal force

F₂ : acting at an angle of θ to the horizontal,

W: Weight of the block  : In vertical direction

FN : Normal force : perpendicular to the direction the surface

fk : Friction force: parallel to the direction to the surface

Known data

m =3.1 kg : mass of the  block

F₁ = 65 N,  horizontal force

F₂ = 12.4 N acting at an angle of θ to the horizontal

θ = 30° angle θ of F₂ with respect to the horizontal

μk = 0.2 : coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface

g = 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity

Calculated of the weight  of the block

W= m*g  = (3.1 kg)*(9.8 m/s²) = 30.38 N

x-y F₂ components

F₂x = F₂cos θ= (12.4)*cos(30)° = 10.74 N

F₂y = F₂sin θ= (12.4)*sin(30)° = 6.2 N

a)Calculated of the Normal force  (FN)

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay    ay = 0

FN+6.2-30.38 = 0

FN = -6.2+30.38

FN = 24.18 N

Calculated of the Friction force:

fk=μk*N=  0.2* 24.18 N = 4.836 N

b) We apply the formula (1) to calculated acceleration of the block:

∑Fx = m*ax ,  ax= a  : acceleration of the block

F₁ + F₂x -fk = ( m)*a

65 N + 10.74 -4.836 = ( 3.1)*a

70.904 = ( 3.1)*a

a = (70.904 ) / ( 3.1)

a = 22.87 m/s²

What information do you think the temperatures of stars give us?
Paul [167]

Explanation:

One way of classifying stars is by their temperature .

or

Science strives to be able to describe how stars and planets form and evolve. This requires theories to describe the processes which include:

Star and planet formation

Star and planet composition

Stellar and solar system evolution

The nuclear processes happening inside stars

The scientific method means that all theories are put to the test. By measuring or calculating the temperature, age and composition of other planets and stars the theories can be tested. If observed values of these parameters are not predicted by theories, then the theories are wrong and need to be revised or replaced.

Physics Conversion help!!
stiv31 [10]

[Assuming that you've written 3.40 kg in 'a', and not 3.90 kg]

(a) 3,400 g x <u>0.001</u> = 3.40 kg [converting grams to kilograms]

(b) 220 cm x <u>0.01</u> = <u>2.2</u> m [converting centimeters to meters]

(c) 9.42 kg x <u>1000</u> = <u>9420</u> g [converting kilograms to grams]

(d) 6.53 m x <u>100</u> = <u>653</u> cm [converting meters to centimeters]

A car runs for about 10 years during its average useful life. If the odometer reads 120,000 miles at the end, what was the avera
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

12000 mph

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance read by the odometer = 120,000 miles

Duration of car, t = 10 years

We need to find the average speed of the car. Speed of an object is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. So,

v=\dfrac{120000}{10}\\\\=12000\ mph

So, the average speed of the car is 12000 mph.
