Please help.: Sliding from left to right in a straight line on a horizontal steel surface, an aluminum block weighing 20 newtons

is acted on by a 2.4 newton friction force. The block will be brought to rest by the friction force in a distance of 10 meters. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the block as it is brought to rest by the friction force. (Show all work)

Mass of the block = 2/g = 2/9.8 =0.204 kg. 

Frictional force = mass * acceleration 

a = F/ m where F is the frictional force = 2.4 

a = 2.4/ 0.204 = 11.76 m/s^2

Answer:

-1.176 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

weight of aluminium block is w = 20.0 N

frictional force, f = 2.4 N

final velocity, v = 0

distance covered, d = 10 m

From Newton's second equation of motion,

F = ma

where, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

mass of the block, m g = 20.0 N

m = 2.04 kg

The block is brought to rest by friction force:

f =- m a

⇒ 2.4 N = -(2.04 kg)(a)

⇒a = -1.176 m/s²

g A beam of light incident on a smooth flat mirror at an angle of 25o relative to the surface normal of the mirror. What is the
WINSTONCH [101]

To solve this problem we will resort to the concept of angle of incidence and refraction.

Since it is a reflection on a mirror, the angle provided for refraction will be equal to that of the incidence, that is, 25 °

The angle of reflation is always perpendicular to the surface so it is necessary to find the angle with respect to it.

\theta = 90-25

\theta = 65\°

Therefore the angle of the reflected beam of light made with the surface normal is 65°

Water in a metal pot is heated over a campfire. Primarily, by wat means of energy transfer is thermal energy moved from the fire
Art [367]

when water in a metal pot is heated over a campfire. Primarily, by means of convection energy transfer is thermal energy moved from the fire to the bottom of the pot

<h3 /><h3>What is thermal energy?</h3>

It can be defined as the form of the energy in which heat is transferred from one body to another body due to their molecular movements, thermal energy is also known as heat energy.

Thermal energy can flow by different means such as conduction, convection, and radiation.

As given in the problem when water in a metal pot is heated over a campfire. The energy we receive around the campfire is mostly due to the effect of the radiation of the heat but the Primary means of energy transfer is thermal energy moved from the fire to the bottom of the pot because of the convection.

Thus, when water is heated in a metal pot over a campfire. Thermal energy is primarily transferred from the fire to the bottom of the pot through convection.
