The component of the weight of the box along the surface is 34.9N.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given that

Mass of the box m=21kg

Angle of inclination θ=10°

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8 $m/s^{2}$

Weight of an object is the force with which the earth attracts the object. Since weight is a force its unit is Newton(N). When an object is placed on a surface that has no inclination, its weight is given by the expression

W=mg

where m denotes mass of the object and g denotes the acceleration due to gravity.

When the surface has an inclination, the weight of the object can be resolved into two components that are parallel and perpendicular to the surface.

The component of weight parallel to the surface is given by

W=mgsinθ

where θ is the angle of inclination

The component of weight perpendicular to the surface is given by

W=mgcosθ

In the given problem, we have to find out the parallel component of weight

W=mgsinθ

$W=21\times 9.8 \timessin10\°\\=21\times9.8\times0.17\\=34.9N$

The component of the weight of the box along the surface is 34.9N

Thinking about the winter we missed out on this year. Calvin and his tiger go sledding down a snowy hill. There is friction betw

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

a) W=0, b) Work is negative, c) work is positive and scientific energy variation is positive, d) the variation of the potential enrgy is negative,

e) total work is positive

Explanation:

Work in physics is defined by the scalar scalar product of force by displacement

W = F. dx

The bold are vectors; this can be written in the form of the mules of the quantities

W = F dx cos θ

where θ is the angle between force and displacement.

a) The normal force is perpendicular to the inclined plane which is perpendicular to the displacement, therefore the angle is

θ = 90 cos 90 = 0

W=0

In conclusion the work is zero

b) The friction force opposes the displacement whereby the angle is

θ = 180 cos 190 = -1

W = - fr d

Work is negative

c) To calculate the change in kinetic energy we use that the work is equal to the variation of the kinetic energy

m g sin θ L = ΔK

this magnitude is positive since the angle is zero cos 0 = 1

how the system starts from rest ΔK = Kf -K₀= + Kf -0

work is positive and scientific energy variation is positive

d) change in potential energy

The potential energy is is ΔU = Uf -U₀

we fix the reference system in the bases of the plane so Uf = 0

ΔU = -U₀

the variation of the potential enrgy is negative

e) The total work is formed by the work of the weight component, the work of the friction force

W_Total = W_weight - W_roce

as the body moves down

W_Total> 0

Therefore the total work is positive

What is the driving force for (a) heat transfer, (b) electric current, and (c) fluid flow?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.
