A 2.0 kg block is pulled across a horizontal surface by a 15 N force at a constant velocity. What is the force of friction actin

g on the block?
Physics
1 answer:
lianna [129]2 years ago

Answer:

<em>The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N and acts opposite to the applied force.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

The Second Newton's law states that an object acquires acceleration when an unbalanced net force is applied to it.

The acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

If the object has zero net force, it won't get accelerated and its velocity will remain constant.

The m=2 kg block is being pulled across a horizontal surface by a force of F=15 N and we are told the block moves at a constant velocity. This means the acceleration is zero and therefore the net force is also zero.

Since there is an external force applied to the box, it must have been balanced by the force of friction, thus the force of friction has the same magnitude acting opposite to the applied force.

The force of friction acting on the block has a magnitude of 15 N opposite to the applied force.

An air balloon is moving upward at a constant speed of 3 m/s. Suddenly a passenger realizes that she left her camera on the grou
frosja888 [35]

Answer:t=0.3253 s

Explanation:

Given

speed of balloon is u=3\ m/s

speed of camera u_1=20\ m/s

Initial separation between camera and balloon is d_o=5\ m

Suppose after t sec of  throw camera reach balloon then,

distance travel by balloon is

s=ut

s=3\times t

and distance travel by camera to reach balloon is

s_1=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

s_1=20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Now

\Rightarrow s_1=5+s

\Rightarrow 20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 =5+3t

\Rightarrow 5t^2-17t+5=0

\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4(5)(5)}}{2\times 5}

\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm 13.747}{10}

\Rightarrow t=0.3253\ s\ \text{and}\ t=3.07\ s

There are two times when camera reaches the same level as balloon and the smaller time is associated with with the first one .

(b)When passenger catches the camera time is  t=0.3253\ s

velocity is given by

v=u+at

v=20-10\times 0.3253

v=16.747\ m/s

and position of camera is same as of balloon so

Position is =5+3\times 0.3253

=5.975\approx 6\ m

While driving, your car has an initial position of 3.2 m, an initial velocity of -8.4 m/s, and
KIM [24]

Answer:

The position of the car at t = 1.5 s is at -8.1625 meters

Explanation:

The initial position of the car is 3.2 meters

The initial velocity is -8.4 m/s

The constant acceleration is 1.1 m/s²

We need to find the final position of the car at the time t = 1.5 seconds

The displacement <em>s</em> = final position - initial position

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}, where <em>u</em> is the initial velocity, <em>a</em> is the

constant acceleration and <em>t</em> is the time

So we can find the final velocity by using the rule:

final position - initial position = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

initial position = 3.2 meters , u = -8.4 m/s , a = 1.1 ²m/s , t = 1.5 s

Substitute these values in the rule

final position - 3.2 = (-8.4)(1.5)+\frac{1}{2}(1.1)(1.5)^{2}

final position - 3.2 = -12.6 + 1.2375

final position - 3.2 = -11.3625

add 3.2 for both sides

final position = -8.1625

<em>That means the car is at 8.1625 meters in opposite direction</em>

<em>The position of the car at t = 1.5 s is at -8.1625 meters </em>

a solid metal sphere of radius 3.00m carries a total charge of -5.50. what is the magnitude of the electric field at a distance
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

(a) Electric field at 0.250 m is zero.

(b)  Electric field at 2.90 m is zero.

(c) Electric field at 3.10 m is - 5.15 x 10³ V/m.

(d) Electric field at 8.00 m is - 0.77 x 10³ V/m.

Explanation:

Let Q and R are the charge and radius of the solid metal sphere. The solid metal sphere behave as conductor, so total charge Q is on the surface of the sphere.

Electric field inside and outside the metal sphere is :

E = 0 for r ≤ R ( inside )

  = \frac{KQ}{r^{2} } for r > R ( outside )

Here K is electric constant and r is the distance from the center of the metal sphere.

(a) Electric field at 0.250 m is zero as r < R i.e. 0.250 m < 3 m from the above equation.

(b)  Electric field at 2.90 m is zero as r < R i.e. 2.90 m < 3 m from the above equation.

(c) Electric field at 3.10 m is given by the relation as r > R :

E = \frac{KQ}{r^{2} }

Substitute 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C² for K, -5.50 μC for Q and 3.10 m for r in the above equation.

E = - \frac{9\times10^{9}\times5.50\times10^{-6}  }{3.10^{2} }

E = - 5.15 x 10³ V/m

(d) Electric field at 8.00 m is given by the relation as r > R :

E = \frac{KQ}{r^{2} }

Substitute 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C² for K, -5.50 μC for Q and 8.00 m for r in the above equation.

E = - \frac{9\times10^{9}\times5.50\times10^{-6}  }{8^{2} }

E = - 0.77 x 10³ V/m
