Your diagram should include four forces:

• the box's weight, pointing down (magnitude w = 43.2 N)

• the normal force, pointing up (mag. n)

• the applied force, pointing the direction in which the box is sliding (mag. p = 6.30 N, with p for "pull")

• the frictional force, pointing oppoiste the applied force (mag. f )

The box is moving at a constant speed, so it is inequilibrium and the net forces in both the vertical and horizontal directions sum to 0. By Newton's second law, we have

n + (-w) = 0

and

p + (-f ) = 0

So then the forces have magnitudes

w = 43.2 N

n = w = 43.2 N

p = 6.30 N

f = p = 6.30 N

while flying a plane parallel to the ground a pilot releases a fuel tank in order to reduce the planes mass. what is the tanks f

stepan [7]

La velocidad vertical del tanque después de caer 10 m es 14 m/seg .

La velocidad vertical del tanque se calcula mediante la aplicación de la fórmula de velocidad , la componente vertical Vfy, del movimiento horizontal como se muestra a continuación :

Vfy=?

h = 10 m

Fórmula de Velocidad vertical Vfy:

Vfy² = 2*g*h

Vfy= √(2*9.8m/seg2* 10m )

Vfy= 14 m/seg

If an atom has 13 protons and is currently electrically neutral, what must happen to give the same atom a positive charge of +2e

Alex777 [14]

The atom must lose 2 electrons

Explanation:

An atom consists of three types of particles:

- Protons, in the nucleus, with positive electric charge $+e$

- Neutrons, in the nucleus, with no electric charge

- Electrons, orbiting around the nucleus, with negative electric charge $-e$

As a result, the net electric charge of an atom is given by the number of protons minus the number of electrons:

Q = #p - #e

For a neutral atom, the number of protons and electrons is the same, so the net charge is zero.

In order for an atom to have a positive charge of +2, it means that there must be 2 protons more than the number of electrons. Since atoms exchange electrons (and not protons), this means that the atom must have "lost" 2 electrons.

In this problem, we have an atom with 13 protons: this means that initially it also has 13 electrons. However, later the atom lost 2 electrons, and as a result, the final charge is +2e.

The length of a certain wire is kept same while its radius is doubled. what is the new resistivity of this wire?

anastassius [24]

The text does not specify whether the resistance R of the wire must be kept the same or not: here I assume R must be kept the same.

The relationship between the resistance and the resistivity of a wire is
$\rho = \frac{AR}{L}$
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity
A is the cross-sectional area
R is the resistance
L is the wire length

the cross-sectional area is given by
$A=\pi r^2$
where r is the radius of the wire. Substituting in the previous equation ,we find
$\rho = \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L}$

For the new wire, the length L is kept the same (L'=L) while the radius is doubled (r'=2r), so the new resistivity is
$\rho' = \frac{\pi r'^2 R}{L'}= \frac{\pi (2r)^2 R}{L}=4 \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L} = 4 \rho$
Therefore, the new resistivity must be 4 times the original one.
