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

51.Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing because the arms have such a low efficiency in this activity. Suppose a person shoveli
Komok [63]

Complete question is;

Shoveling snow can be extremely taxing since the arms have such a low efficiency in this activity. Suppose a person shoveling a sidewalk metabolizes food at the rate of 800 W. (The efficiency of a person shoveling is 3%.)

(a) What is her useful power output? (b) How long will it take her to lift 3000 kg of snow 1.20 m? (This could be the amount of heavy snow on 20 m of footpath.) (c) How much waste heat transfer in kilojoules will she generate in the process?

Answer:

A) P_out = 24 W

B) t = 1470 s

C) Q = 1140.72 KJ

Explanation:

We are given;

Input Power; P_in = 800 W

Efficiency; η = 3% = 0.03

A) Formula for efficiency is;

η = P_out/P_in

Making P_out the subject, we have;

P_out = η•P_in

P_out = 0.03 × 800

P_out = 24 W

B) We know that;

Power = work done/time taken

Thus;

P_out = mgh/t

We are given;

m = 3000 kg

h = 1.20 m

Thus, time is;

t = (3000 × 9.8 × 1.2)/24

t = 1470 s

C) amount of heat wasted is calculated from;

Q = (P_in - P_out)t

Q = (800 - 24) × 1470

Q = 1,140,720 J

Q = 1140.72 KJ

The purpose of striking the ball in a volleyball game is to: 1. Place the ball in motion 2. Change the direction of the ball's m
zhenek [66]

Answer:

4. All of the above

Explanation:

The purpose of striking the ball in a volleyball game:

From the serve you could state that you need to place the ball in motion.

When returning a shot of, you normally want to change the direction of the ball's motion.

During a dropshot, you purposely want to slow down the ball's motion.

The correct answer must be all of the above.

A sample of helium (He) occupies 8.0 liters at 1 atm and 20.0◦C. What pressure is necessary to change the volume to 1.0 liters a
nevsk [136]

Apply the combined gas law

PV/T = const.

P = pressure, V = volume, T = temperature, PV/T must stay constant.

Initial PVT values:

P = 1atm, V = 8.0L, T = 20.0°C = 293.15K

Final PVT values:

P = ?, V = 1.0L, T = 10.0°C = 283.15K

Set the PV/T expression for the initial and final PVT values equal to each other and solve for the final P:

1(8.0)/293.15 = P(1.0)/283.15

P = 7.7atm
