Answer:

58.27 N

Explanation:

the data we have is:

mass: m=22kg

coefficient of friction: \mu =0.27

and we also know the acceleration of gravity is g=9.81m/s^2

We need to do an analysis of horizontal and vertical forces acting on the object:

-------

Vertically the forces acting on the object:

  • Normal force N (acting up from the object)
  • weight: w=mg (acting down from)

so the sum of forces in the vertical axis "y" are:

F_{y}=N-w\\F_{y}=N-mg

from Newton's second Law we know that F=ma, so:

ma_{y}=N-mg

and since the object is not accelerating in the vertical direction (the movement is only horizontal) a_{y}=0, and:

0=N-mg\\N=mg

-----------

now let's analyze the horizontal forces

  • frictional force: f= \mu N and since N=mg  --> f=\mu mg
  • force to move the object: F

and the two forces just mentioned must be opposite, thus the sum of forces in the "x" axis is:

F=ma_{x}=F-f\\ma_{x}=F-\mu mg

and we are told that the crate moves at a steady speed, thus there is no acceleration: a_{x}=0

and we get:

0=F-\mu mg\\F=\mu mg

substituting known values:

F=(0.27)(22kg)(9.81m/s^2)\\F=58.27N

Answer:

<em>UP</em>

Explanation:

heat flows from higher level to lower level

( higher concentration to lower concentration )

and since temperature in above block is less than the lower block, the heat will flow from lower block to higher block .

( Up )

miskamm [114]

Answer:

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules

Explanation:

Given that p₀= initial pressure, p₁=final pressure, Vi= initial volume=0 and Vf=final volume= 6/5 liters where p₁=p₀ then

In adiabatic compression, work done by mixture during compression is

W= \int\limits^f_i {p} \, dV  where f= final volume and i =initial volume, p=pressure

p can be written as p=K/V^γ where K=p₀Vi^γ =p₁Vf^γ

W= \int\limits^f_i {K/V^} \, dV

W= K/1-γ ( 1/Vf^γ-1 - 1/Vi^γ-1)

W=1/1-γ (p₁Vf-p₀Vi)

W= 1/1-1.40 (p₁*6/5 -p₀*0)  

W= -2.5 (p₁*6/5*0.001)   changing liters to m³

W= -2.5 (p₁*0.0012) joules
