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

A parallel plate capacitor fully charged to voltage V is connected to the battery (the voltage on the plates remains fixed). If

Papessa [141]

Charge will decreases.

A parallel plate capacitor when it is fully charged to voltage V is given as:

C = Q/V

The capacitance of parallel plate capacitor with two plates of Area A separated by distance d and no dielectric material between plates is

C = ε₀ A /d

since from above equation it shows C is proportional to Q and also C is inversely proportional to distance d.

So, ATQ when d increases C will decrease which in result decreases charge on the capacitor.

Thus, Charge will decrease.

A train moves with a constant velocity for 15s for 155m. How fast is the train moving?

bonufazy [111]

Answer: 10.3m/s

Explanation:

In theory and for a constant velocity the physics expression states that:

Eq(1): distance = velocity times time <=> d = v*t for v=constant.

If we solve Eq (1) for the velocity (v) we obtain:

Eq(2): velocity = distance divided by time <=> v = d/t

Substituting the known values for t=15s and d=155m we get:

v = 155 / 15 <=> v = 10.3

A sample of nitrogen gas has a volume of 5.0 ml at a pressure of 1.50 atm. what is the pressure exerted by the gas if the volume

olchik [2.2K]

A sample of nitrogen gas has a volume of 5.0 ml at a pressure of 1.50 atm. what is the pressure exerted by the gas if the volume increases to 30.0 ml, at constant temperature is 0.25atm.

On constant temperature, the pressure and volume relation become constant before and after the change in quantitities have occurred.

According to Boyle's Law,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

where, P₁ is pressure exerted by the gas initially

V₁ is the volume of gas initially

P₂ is pressure exerted by the gas finally

V₂ is the volume of gas finally

Given,

P₁ = 1.5 atm

V₁ = 5 ml

V₂ = 30 ml

P₂ =?

On substituting the given values in the above equation:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1.5 atm × 5 ml = P₂ × 30 ml

P₂ = 0.25 atm

Hence, pressure exerted by the gas is 0.25atm.
