Answer:

18 N

Explanation:

Force can be found using the following formula.

f= m*a

where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

We know the desk has a mass of 36 kilograms. We also know that its acceleration is 0.5 m/s^2.

m= 36 kg

a= 0.5 m/s^2

Substitute these values into the formula.

f= 36 kg * 0.5 m/s^2

Multiply 36 and 0.5

f=18 kg m/s^2

1 kg m/s^2 is equivalent to 1 Newton, or N.

f= 18 Newtons

The force being applied is 18 kg m/s^2, Newtons, or N

While a roofer is working on a roof that slants at 37.0 ∘∘ above the horizontal, he accidentally nudges his 92.0 NN toolbox, cau

eduard

Answer:

The speed is $v =8.17 m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of slant is $\theta = 37.0^o$

The weight of the toolbox is $W_t = 92.0N$

The mass of the toolbox is $m = \frac{92}{9.8} = 9.286kg$

The start point is $d = 4.25m$ from lower edge of roof

The kinetic frictional force is $F_f = 22.0N$

Generally the net work done on this tool box can be mathematically represented as

$Net \ work done = Workdone \ due \ to \ Weight + Workdone \ due \ to \ Friction$

The workdone due to weigh is = $mgsin \theta * d$

The workdone due to friction is = $F_f \ cos\theta * d$

Substituting this into the equation for net workdone

$W_{net} = mgsin\theta * d + F_f \ cos \theta *d$

Substituting values

$W_{net} = 92 * sin (37) * 4.25 + 22 cos (37) * 4.25$

$= 309.98 J$

According to work energy theorem

$W_{net} = \Delta Kinetic \ Energy$

$W_{net} = \frac{1}{2} m (v - u)^2$

From the question we are told that it started from rest so u = 0 m/s

$W_{net} = \frac{1}{2} * m v^2$

Making v the subject

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 W_{net}}{m} }$

Substituting value

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 309.98}{9.286} }$

$v =8.17 m/s$

If a particle with a charge of +4.3 × 10−18 C is attracted to another particle by a force of 6.5 × 10−8 N, what is the magnitude

AveGali [126]

Answer: 1.5×10^10 N/C

Explanation:

E= F/q

Where E= magnitude of the electric field

F= force of attraction

q= charge of the given body

Given F= 6.5×10^-8 N

q= 4.3× 10^-18 C

Therefore, E = 6.5×10 ^-8/ 4.3×10^-18

E = 1.5×10^10 N/C

A hockey puck wont slide very far on concrete or asphalt, but it will slide for a very long time on ice. Why is this?

Ilya [14]

When hockey players push the puck along the ice it slides causing heat which melts the ice causing the friction against the ice to be less.
