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.

What is the direction of transfer of energy in the waves produced?
NemiM [27]
Transverse waves occur when a disturbance causes oscillationsperpendicular (at right angles) to the propagation (the direction of energy transfer). Longitudinal waves occur when the oscillations are parallel to the direction of propagation.

Which of the following factors will negatively impact the rate of diffusion of a molecule?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

A low difference in the concentration of the molecule across the media

Explanation:

Diffusion is a type of passive transport where the molecules move in the influence of concentration gradient of diffusing molecules i.e. from the higher concentration region to the lower concentration region. There are some factors which affect the rate of diffusion, these are written below -

  1. Mass of diffusing molecule - lighter molecules diffuse faster and heavier one diffuse relatively slower.
  2. Concentration gradient - rate of diffusion is higher if the difference in concentration of the diffusing particles is larger in the two regions.
  3. Distance traveled - molecules diffuse faster if they need to travel little distance during diffusion.
  4. Temperature - rate of diffusion will be greater at higher temperatures because the movement of diffusing molecules gets increased.
  5. Solvent density - rate of diffusion tend to be lower if the solvent has higher density.

Looking at these factors we can conclude that the second statement in the question tells about a negative impact regarding the diffusion because due to low difference in concentration across the two media, the rate of diffusion will be lower.

You kick a ball with a speed of 14 m/s at an angle of 51°. How far away does the ball land?
In-s [12.5K]
-- The vertical component of the ball's velocity is 14 sin(<span>51°) = 10.88 m/s

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

-- The ball rises for 10.88/9.8 seconds, then stops rising, and drops for the
same amount of time before it hits the ground.

-- Altogether, the ball is in the air for (2 x 10.88)/(9.8) = 2.22 seconds
==================================

-- The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is  14 cos(</span><span>51°) = 8.81 m/s

-- At this speed, it covers a horizontal distance of (8.81) x (2.22) = <em><u>19.56 meters</u></em>
before it hits the ground.


As usual when we're discussing this stuff, we completely ignore air resistance.

Should the shape of an object be considered a property of the material?
solniwko [45]
No
For example a rock was broken into one big and one little piece. The properties of these 2 pieces are still the same even though they have different shapes.

A wave of wavelength 0.3 m travels 900 m in 3.0 s. Calculate its frequency.
zzz [600]

Answer:

1000 Hz

Explanation:

<em>The frequency would be 1000 Hz.</em>

The frequency, wavelength, and speed of a wave are related by the equation:

<em>v = fλ ..................(1)</em>

where v = speed of the wave, f = frequency of the wave, and λ = wavelength of the wave.

Making f the subject of the formula:

<em>f = v/λ.........................(2)</em>

Also, speed (v) = distance/time.

From the question, distance = 900 m, time = 3.0 s

Hence, v = 900/3.0 = 300 m/s

Substitute v = 300 and λ = 0.3  into equation (2):

f = 300/0.3 = 1000 Hz
