A 550N object has a coefficient of .012 against a smooth surface. What

Physics

Brrunno [24]3 years ago

Vertically, the object is in equilibrium, so that the net force in this direction is

∑ <em>F</em> (vertical) = <em>n</em> - <em>mg</em> = 0

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force due to the contact between the object and surface. You're given that the object's weight is <em>mg</em> = 550 N, so <em>n</em> = 550 N as well.

Horizontally, the net force would be

∑ <em>F</em> (horizontal) = <em>p</em> - <em>f</em> = 0

where <em>p</em> is the magnitude of the applied force and <em>f</em> is the magnitude of (kinetic) friction opposing <em>p</em>. Now,

<em>f</em> = 0.012<em>n</em> = 0.012 (550 N) = 6.6 N

so that you need to apply a force of <em>p</em> = 6.6 N to keep the object sliding at a steady pace.

The principle of work states that the ratio of work output to work input is always
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

work output is always less than work input - the ratio is less than 1.

Explanation:

This principle comes from the fact that a machine or system cannot produce more work than is supplied to it, because this would violate the energy conservation law (work is a type of mechanical energy).

In theoretical machines called "ideal machines" the input work is the same as the output work, but these machines are only theoretical because in real applications there is always some type of energy loss, either in heat produced by a machine or processes for its operation, for this reason the output work is always less than the input work.

Regarding the ratio work output to work input:

\frac{WO}{WI} < 1

because work input WI is always greater than work output WO.

<h2>The different forces acting on the ball while its in air</h2>

Amy throws a softball through the air. Applied, drag and gravitational forces are acting on the ball while it’s in the air. The softball experiences force as a result of Amy’s throw. As the ball moves, it experiences from the air it passes through.

It also experiences a downward pull because earth has the property to attract everything which is on the earth towards it. The ball is moving in the air but earth applies force on the ball to get back on the ground. Hence, in this way, gravitational force applies.

There is also a drag force which results due to friction that is present in the air. It resist to move ball in the air and there will also be applied force which is given by a person who throws by applying force.

If points a and b are connected by a wire with negligible resistance, find the magnitude of the current in the 12.0 v battery.
Marizza181 [45]
V = I * R
Where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Using Ohm's law, you require resistance to find the current through the wire. Technically, if the wire has a resistance of 0, you will get infinite current. But this isn't possible. Maybe the negligible resistance refers to the battery's internal resistance - not the wire's resistance.
