A brick is lying on a table in a state of static equilibrium. If the mass of the brick is 7.52 kilograms, what is the normal for

ce exerted by the table on the brick?
A. −73.7 newtons
B. 73.7 newtons
C. 80.7 newtons
D. 7.52 newtons
E. 8.07 newtons

I believe the answer is either A. or B.—I'm just not sure if it should be expressed as a negative or not because the force is acting in the opposite direction.

Semenov [28]

Answer: Lever

A wheelbarrow consists of a lever to be able to lift the material, and a wheel to be able to move it horizontally. So in a sense, a wheelbarrow is a complex machine consisting of two simple machines.

Under the influence of its drive force, a snowmobile is moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal patch of snow. When the
balandron [24]

Answer:

a) Δx = 11.6 m

b) t = 3.9 s

Explanation:

a)

  • Since the snowmobile is moving at constant speed, and the drive force is 195 N, this means that thereis another force equal and opposite acting on it, according to Newton's 2nd Law, due to there is no acceleration present in the horizontal direction .
  • This force is just the force of kinetic friction, and is equal to -195 N (assuming the positive direction as the direction of the movement).
  • Once the drive force is shut off, the only force acting on the snowmobile remains the friction force.
  • According Newton's 2nd Law, this force is causing a negative acceleration (actually slowing down the snowmobile) that can be found as follows:

       a = \frac{F_{fr} }{m} = \frac{-195N}{128kg} = -1.5 m/s2 (1)

  • Assuming the friction force keeps constant, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the distance traveled under this acceleration before coming to an stop, as follows:

       v_{f} ^{2}  -v_{o} ^{2} = 2* a* \Delta x (2)

  • Taking into account that vf=0, replacing by the given (v₀) and a from (1), we can solve for Δx, as follows:

       \Delta x =- \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2*a} =- \frac{(5.90m/s)^{2}}{2*(-1.5m/s2)} = 11.6 m (3)

b)

  • We can find the time needed to come to an stop, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

       v_{f} = v_{o} + a*\Delta t (4)

  • Since we have already said that the snowmobile comes to an stop, this means that vf = 0.
  • Replacing a and v₀ as we did in (3), we can solve for Δt as follows:

       \Delta t = \frac{-v_{o} }{a} = \frac{-5.9m/s}{-1.5m/s2} = 3.9 s   (5)

How much time will it take to do 33j of work with 11 w of power
Yuri [45]

Time required : 3 s

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Power is the work done/second.

\tt P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\\P=power,j/s,watt\\\\W=work, J\\\\t=times=s

 

To do 33 J of work with 11 W of power

P = 11 W

W = 33 J

\tt t=\dfrac{W}{P}\\\\t=\dfrac{33}{11}\\\\t=\boxed{\bold{3~s}}

A student gives a 5.0 kg box a brief push causing the box to move with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s along a rough surface. The bo
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The time taken to stop the box equals 1.33 seconds.

Explanation:

Since frictional force always acts opposite to the motion of the box we can find the acceleration that the force produces using newton's second law of motion as shown below:

F=mass\times acceleration\\\\\therefore acceleration=\frac{Force}{mass}

Given mass of box = 5.0 kg

Frictional force = 30 N

thus

acceleration=\frac{30}{5}=6m/s^{2}

Now to find the time that the box requires to stop can be calculated by first equation of kinematics

The box will stop when it's final velocity becomes zero

v=u+at\\\\0=8-6\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{8}{6}=4/3seconds

Here acceleration is taken as negative since it opposes the motion of the box since frictional force always opposes motion.
