Answer:

44.6 N

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the block.  There are four forces on the block:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing up,

Friction force Nμ pushing left,

and applied force F pulling right 30° above horizontal.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N + F sin 30° − mg = 0

N = mg − F sin 30°

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

F cos 30° − Nμ = 0

F cos 30° = Nμ

N = F cos 30° / μ

Substitute:

mg − F sin 30° = F cos 30° / μ

mg = F sin 30° + (F cos 30° / μ)

Plug in values:

mg = 20 N sin 30° + (20 N cos 30° / 0.5)

mg = 44.6 N

Answer:

24.64N

Explanation:

The force inclined at 30° exerted on the block has two components the horizontal and vertical components .

The vertical component force is ;

FsinA; where A is angle of inclination.

20sin30° = 10N

The horizontal component is ;

20cos30° = 17.32N

Now the normal reaction is a vertical upward force acting opposite to the weight.

Note also that for the body to slide it has to overcome a limiting Frictional force and this force must be 17.32N since it's this horizontal component that makes the body slide.

We can then go on to compute the normal reaction from the coefficient of friction formula given as;

Limiting Frictional Force/ Normal reaction

By change of subject formula;

Normal reaction = Limiting frictional force /coefficient of friction

By substituting the equivalent values of limiting Frictional force and coefficient of friction, we have:

17.32N/0.5 = 34.64N

Now since the object didn't fall downwards it means the sum of upward force is the same as the sum of down ward force.

The downward forces are the weight of the object and the vertical component of the applied force when the normal reaction is the upward force.

Expressed mathematically, we have:

34.64= 10 + weight of object

Hence weight of object = 34.64-10= 24.64N

2.Which choice most accurately explains what happens to the bonds between atoms when water changes to steam, and what becomes of
erastova [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The conversion of water into steam involves various factors and changes.

When heat is applied to water, the bond between the molecules start to loosen up and molecules starts separating hence it from changes from liquid to gas or steam.

At this time molecules have greater kinetic energy which is given to them in form of heat. Hence apart from all options given, D is the correct one which states that :

"When water changes to steam bonds between molecules break apart. After reaching the boiling point, energy is used to change bond strength and change the kinetic energy of the atoms."

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

9.58 m/s

Explanation:

x = 5.6 m

y = 3 m

θ = 60°

Let u be the initial velocity of projection.

The general equation of projectile path is given by

y = x tan\theta -\frac{gx^{2}}{2u^{2}Cos^{2}\theta }

3 = 5.6\times tan60 -\frac{9.8\times 5.6 \times 5.6}{2\times u^{2}Cos^{2}60}

\frac{614.66}{u^{2}}=6.7

u = 9.58 m/s

thus, the velocity of projection is given by 9.58 m/s.

Which of the following displacement graphs matches the simulation snapshot shown below?
Olin [163]

The option D of the following displacement graphs matches the simulation snapshot.

Explanation:

As per the given information through the graph.

By convention, a displacement to the right is considered positive, and a displacement to the left is considered negative. In the tube, the red divider is displaced to the left of its original position (marked by the red dot), and the green divider is displaced to the right of its original position (marked by a green dot).

The only graph that shows a negative displacement of the red divider and a positive displacement of the green divider is graph D.

Therefore option D matches the simulation snapshot in the displacement graphs.

A proton moves through a region of space where there is a magnetic field B⃗ =(0.64i+0.40j)T and an electric field E⃗ =(3.3i−4.5j
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

F = (8.35 \times 10^{-16})\hat i - (12.12 \times 10^{-16})\hat j +(1.35 \times 10^{-16})\hat k

Explanation:

When a charge is moving in constant magnetic field and electric field both then the net force on moving charge is vector sum of force due to magnetic field and electric field both

so first the force on the moving charge due to electric field is given by

\vec F_e = q\vec E

\vec F_e = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})(3.3 \hat i - 4.5 \hat j) \times 10^3

\vec F_e = (5.28 \times 10^{-16}) \hat i - (7.2 \times 10^{-16}) \hat j

Now force on moving charge due to magnetic field is given as

\vec F_b = q(\vec v \times \vec B)

\vec F_b = (1.6 \times 10^{-19})((6.6 \hat i+2.8 \hat j−4.8 \hat k) \times 10^3 \times (0.64 \hat i + 0.40 \hat j) )

\vec F_b = (4.22 \times 10^{-16})\hat k - (2.87 \times 10^{-16})\hat k - (4.92 \times 10^{-16})\hat j + (3.07 \times 10^{-16}) \hat i

\vec F_b = (3.07\times 10^{-16})\hat i - (4.92 \times 10^{-16})\hat j + (1.35 \times 10^{-16})\hat k

Now net force due to both

F = F_e + F_b

F = (8.35 \times 10^{-16})\hat i - (12.12 \times 10^{-16})\hat j +(1.35 \times 10^{-16})\hat k
