A 40-kg box is being pushed along a horizontal smooth surface. The pushing force is 15 n directed at an angle of 15Â° below the

horizontal. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate?

Answer:

Acceleration of the crate is 0.362 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the box, m = 40 kg

Applied force, F = 15 N

Angle at which the force is applied, $(\theta)$ = 15°

We have to find the magnitude of the acceleration.

Let the acceleration be "a".

FBD is attached with where we can see the horizontal and vertical component of force.

⇒ $F_x=Fcos(\theta)$ and ⇒ $F_y=Fsin (\theta)$

⇒ $F_x=15cos(15)$ ⇒ $F_y=15sin (15)$

⇒ Applying concept of forces.

⇒ $\sum F_x=F_n_e_t =F-f$

⇒ $F_n_e_t =F-f$

⇒ $ma =F-f$ <em> ...Newtons second law Fnet = ma</em>

⇒ $a =\frac{F-f}{m}$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $a =\frac{15cos(15)-0}{40}$ <em>...f is the friction which is zero here.</em>

⇒ $a =\frac{14.48}{40}$

⇒ $a=0.362\ ms^-^2$

Magnitude of the acceleration of the crate is 0.362 m/s^2.

If i punch my self and it will hurt am i weak or strong

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

You're strong.

Explanation:

I've been thinking of this for quite a while, and I realized that your body has a certain limit to how much pain it can take. So, punching yourself extremely hard will cause pain, because that's your body's reaction to immense pressure being put on it. But, the fact that you punched yourself so hard that it hurts, shows that you are capable of applying so much pressure; therefore, you are strong.

How are objects in space able to “fall” into orbit?

Zolol [24]

Answer:

MRCORRECT has answered the question

Explanation:

Newton realized that the reason the planets orbit the Sun is related to why objects fall to Earth when we drop them. The Sun's gravity pullson the planets, just as Earth's gravity pulls down anything that is not held up by some other force and keeps you and me on the ground.

) It is necessary to maintain a constant fluid volume in the body. Therefore, the body adjusts the water outputs to be equal to

loris [4]

Answer:

Evaporative Water Loss = 2 kg

Explanation:

According to the given condition, the water entering the body must be equal to the water leaving the body. Therefore,

Water Entering the Body = Water Leaving the Body

Feed Water + Drinking Water + Metabolic Water = Urine Water + Evaporative Water Loss

using the given values:

1 kg + 5 kg + 0.5 kg = 4.5 kg + Evaporative Water Loss

Evaporative Water Loss = 1 kg + 5 kg + 0.5 kg - 4.5 kg

<u>Evaporative Water Loss = 2 kg</u>

Part A A uniform solid disk of radius 1.60 m and mass 2.30 kg rolls without slipping to the bottom of an inclined plane. If the

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Height will be 3.8971 m

Explanation:

We have given that radius of the solid r = 1.60 m

Mass of the solid disk m = 2.30 kg

Angular velocity $\omega =4.46rad/sec$

Moment of inertia is given by $I=\frac{1}{2}mr^2$

Transnational Kinetic energy is given by $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ as we know that v = $v=\omega r$

So $KE=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2$

Rotational kinetic energy is given by $KE_{ROTATIONAL}=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\left ( \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \right )\omega ^2=\frac{1}{4}m(r\omega )^2$

Potential energy is given by mgh

According to energy conservation

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2+\frac{1}{4}m(\omega r)^2$

$h=\frac{3r^2\omega ^2}{4g}=\frac{3\times 1.60^2\times 4.46^2}{4\times 9.8}=3.8971m$
