Answer:

the mass of the box is 17 kg

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of the force applied by the fisherman, F = 51 N

magnitude of acceleration of the box, a = 3 m/s²

the mass of the box is calculated using Newton's law of motion;

F = ma

where;

m is the mass of the box

m = F / a

m = (51) / (3)

m = 17 kg

Therefore, the mass of the box is 17 kg

What happens when an object experiences friction?
kaheart [24]

Answer:Whenever a moving object experiences friction, some of its kinetic energy is transformed into thermal energy. Mechanical energy is always transformed into thermal energy due to friction. Mechanical energy is always transformed into thermal energy due to friction.

Do you believe in God (why or why not)?
masya89 [10]
Yes I believe in god.I believe in him because there is huge gaps in science that can not be solved. I also believe in him because I was also taught about him when I was little by family & my mom so I grew up learning about him which made my beliefs stronger of course.

A ball thrown horizontally at vi = 30.0 m/s travels a horizontal distance of d = 55.0 m before hitting the ground. from what hei
tekilochka [14]
Assume no air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s².

Let
x =  angle that the initial velocity makes with the horizontal.
u = 30 cos(x), horizontal velocity
v = 30 sin(x), vertical launch velocity

The horizontal distance traveled is 55 m, therefore the time of flight is
t = 55/[30 cos(x)] = 1.8333 sec(x)  s

With regard to the vertical velocity, and the time of flight,obtain
[30 sin(x)]*(1.8333 sec(x)) + (1/2)*(-9.8)*(1.8333 sec(x))² = 0
 55 tan(x) - 16.469 sec²x = 0
55 tan(x) - 16.469[1 + tan²x] = 0
16.469 tan²x - 55 tan(x) + 16.469 = 0
tan²x - 3.3396 tan(x) + 1 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
tan(x) = 0.5[3.3396 +/- √(7.153)] = 3.007 or 0.3326
Therefore
x = 71.6° or x = 18.4°

The time of flight is
t = 1.8333 sec(x) = 5.8096 s or 1.932 s
The initial vertical velocity is
v = 30 sin(x) = 28.467 m/s or 9.468 m/s
The horizontal velocity is
u = 30 cos(x) = 9.467 m/s or 28.469 m/s

If t = 5.8096 s,
  u*t = 9.467*5.8096 = 55 m (Correct)
or
 u*t = 28.469*15.8096 = 165.4 m (Incorrect)

Therefore, reject x = 18.4°. The correct solution is
t = 5.8096 s
x = 71.6°
u = 9.467 m/s
v = 28.467 m/s

The height from which the ball was thrown is
h = 28.467*5.8096 - 0.5*9.8*5.8096² = -110.4 m
The ball was thrown from a height of 110.4 m

Answer: h = 110.4 m

A 60-W light bulb radiates electromagnetic waves uniformly in all directions. At a distance of 1.0 mm from the bulb, the light i
slega [8]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is:

(a) \frac{1}{4}(I_o)

(b) \frac{1}{4} (u_o)

(c) \frac{1}{2}B_o

Explanation:

According to the question, the value is:

Power of bulb,

= 60 W

Distance,

= 1.0 mm

Now,

(a)

⇒  \frac{I}{I_o} =\frac{r_o_2}{r_2}

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒  I=I_o\times \frac{1_2}{2^2}

⇒     =I_o\times \frac{1}{4}

⇒     =\frac{1}{4} (I_o)

(b)

As we know,

⇒ \frac{u}{u_o} =\frac{I}{I_o}

By putting the values, we get

⇒ u=\frac{1}{4}(u_o)

(c)

⇒ \frac{B^2}{B_o^2} =\frac{u}{u_o}

         =\frac{I}{I_o}

⇒ B=B_o\times \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} }

⇒     =\frac{1}{2}(B_o)
