Answer:

A. 780 J

B. 120 J

C. 660 J

Explanation:

From the question given above the following data were obtained:

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

A. Determination of the work done by the dragging force.

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Workdone (Wd) by dragging force =?

Wd = Fₔ × s

Wd = 65 × 12

Wd = 780 J

Therefore, the work done by the dragging force is 780 J

B. Determination of the work done by friction.

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Workdone (Wd) by friction =?

Wd = Fբ × s

Wd = 10 × 12

Wd = 120 J

Therefore, the work done by friction is 120 J

C. Determination of the net work done on the box.

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Net work done (Wd) =?

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the box. This can be obtained as follow:

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₔ – Fբ

Fₙ = 65 – 10

Fₙ = 55 N

Thus, the net force acting on the box is 55 N

Finally, we shall determine the net work done on the box as follow:

Distance (s) = 12 m

Net force (Fₙ) = 55 N

Net work done (Wd) =?

Wd = Fₙ × s

Wd = 55 × 12

Wd = 660 J

Therefore, the net work done on the box is 660 J

Find the current that flows in a silicon bar of 10-μm length having a 5-μm × 4-μm cross-section and having free-electron and hol

klasskru [66]

The current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 $\times$ 10^-12 A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Length of silicon bar, l = 10 μm = 0.001 cm

Free electron density, Ne = 104 cm^3

Hole density, Nh = 1016 cm^3

μn = 1200 cm^2 / V s

μр = 500 cm^2 / V s

The total current flowing in the bar is the sum of the drift current due to the hole and the electrons.

J = Je + Jh

J = n qE μn + p qE μp

where, n and p are electron and hole densities.

J = Eq (n μn + p μp)

we know that E = V / l

So, J = (V / l) q (n μn + p μp)

J = (1.6 $\times$ 10^-19) / 0.001 (104 $\times$ 1200 + 1016 $\times$ 500)

J = 1012480 $\times$ 10^-16 A / m^2.

J = 1.01 $\times$ 10^-9 A / m^2

Current, I = JA

A is the area of bar, A = 20 μm = 0.002 cm

I = 1.01 $\times$ 10^-9 $\times$ 0.002 = 2.02 $\times$ 10^-12

So, the current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 $\times$ 10^-12 A.

How do kinetic and potential energy transfer to one throughout a roller coaster ride?

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

As the cars ascend the next hill, some kinetic energy is transformed back into potential energy. Then, when the cars descend this hill, potential energy is again changed to kinetic energy. This conversion between potential and kinetic energy continues throughout the ride.

It has been suggested that rotating cylinders about 10 mi long and 5.9 mi in diameter be placed in space and used as colonies. T

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

ω = 0.05 rad/s

Explanation:

We consider the centripetal force acting as the weight force on the surface of the cylinder. Therefore,

$Centripetal Force = Weight\\\frac{mv^{2}}{r} = mg\\\\here,\\v = linear\ speed = r\omega \\therefore,\\\frac{(r\omega)^{2}}{r} = g\\\\\omega^{2} = \frac{g}{r}\\\\\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}}\\$

where,

ω = angular velocity of cylinder = ?

g = required acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of cylinder = diameter/2 = 5.9 mi/2 = 2.95 mi = 4023.36 m

Therefore,

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{9.8\ m/s^{2}}{4023.36\ m}}\\\\$

A horizontal force of 140 N is needed to pull a 60kg box across the horizontal floor at constant speed . Find the coefficient of

____ [38]

Explanation:

formula for force is:

force=mass × acceleration

but in case of friction

force =coefficient of friction × Normal Reaction

F. = u × R

U = F/R

but when placed horizontally

R= M×G

M=mass=60kg

G=Gravity(10m/s or 9.8m/s)

F=140N

U=140/60×10

U=140/600

U=0.2333333333

approximately to 3 significant figures

U=0.233

if i am correct rate it 5 star
