Normal force = 200(9.81) = 1962 N
Friction force = 1962 * .4 = 784.8
power = force * distance / time = 784.8 * 5 = 3924 Watts

Watts = Joules / sec
3924 x 180 = 706,320 Joules

Answer:

a) Power = P = 3924 watts

b) Work = W = 706320 J

Explanation:

a) Mass of the block = m = 200 kg

Velocity = V = 5 m/s

Time = t = 180s

Coefficient of friction = µ = 0.4

Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s^2

According to newton’s second law of motion:

F-f = 0

Where,

F = Normal force

f = Frictional force

so,

F = f = µmg = (0.4)(200)(9.81) = 784.8 N

We know that:

P = FV = (784)(5) = 3924 watts

b) We know that:

W = P × t = 3924 × 180 = 706320 J

How much equal charge should be placed on the earth and the moon so that the electrical repulsion balances the gravitational for

kumpel [21]

As we know that electrostatic force between two charges is given as

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

here we know that electrostatic repulsion force is balanced by the gravitational force between them

so here force of attraction due to gravitation is given as

$F_g = 1.98 \times 10^{20} N$

here we can assume that both will have equal charge of magnitude "q"

now we have

$1.98 \times 10^{20} = \frac{kq^2}{r^2}$

$1.98 \times 10^{20} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(q^2)}{(3.84 \times 10^8)^2}$

$1.98 \times 10^{20} = (6.10 \times 10^{-8}) q^2$

now we have

$q = 5.7 \times 10^{13} C$

1. A Zambeef delivery track travels 18 km north, 10 km east, and 16 km south. What is its final displacement from the origin?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

2km

Explanation:

Given data

We are told that the direction traveled are

North>>>East>>>South

Hence the displacement is defined as the distance away from the initial position is

Initial position =18km

FInal position = 16km

The displacement = 18-16= 2km

Hence the displacement is 2km

Why do astronauts float aboard the international space station?

lianna [129]

They’re falling toward earth & moving forward at about the same velocity. because the downward and forward forces are nearly equal, the astronauts are not pulled in any specific direction, so they float . <span>
