By Newton's second law,

<em>n</em> + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

<em>p</em> + (-<em>f</em> ) = (20 kg) (2 m/s²)

where <em>n</em> is the magnitude of the normal force, <em>w</em> is the weight of the box, <em>p</em> is the magnitude of the applied force (<em>p</em> for <u>p</u>ush or <u>p</u>ull), and <em>f</em> is the magnitude of the friction force.

Calculate the weight of the box:

<em>w</em> = (20 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 196 N

Then

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = 196 N

and

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> = 0.5 (196 N) = 98 N

Now solve for <em>p</em> :

<em>p</em> - 98 N = 40 N

<em>p</em> = 138 N

2075 Set A Q.No. 106 A Carnot engine has 40% efficiency with a sink at 10°C. By how many degrees should the temperature of the s
Anni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Efficiency of a Carnot engine = 1 – (T2/T1) ;

where T1 = source temperature  and T2 = sink temperature

T2 = 10⁰C = 273+10 = 283K

The initial efficiency = 40%

So 0.4 = 1 - (283/Initial T1)

Initial T1 = 283/(1-0.4) = 471.67 K

 

To raise efficiency to 65%

0.65 = 1 - (283/Increased T1)

Increased T1 = 283/(1-0.65) = 808.57 K

The source temperature must be increased by 808.57 - 471.67 = 336.9 K or 336.9°C.

Drawing a shows a displacement vector (450.0 m along the y axis). In this x, y coordinate system the scalar components are Ax 0
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

x ’= 368.61 m,  y ’= 258.11 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must find the projections of the point on the new vectors of the rotated system  θ = 35º

            x’= R cos 35

            y’= R sin 35

           

The modulus vector can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

            R² = x² + y²

            R = 450 m

we calculate

            x ’= 450 cos 35

            x ’= 368.61 m

            y ’= 450 sin 35

            y ’= 258.11 m

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

120°

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are three forces acting on the traffic light.  Two tension forces acting along the cables, and weight.

The tension forces have an angle θ between them.  That means each tension force forms an angle of θ/2 with respect to the vertical.  So the y component of each tension force is:

Ty = T cos (θ/2)

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Ty + Ty − W = 0

2 Ty = W

Substituting:

2 T cos (θ/2) = W

If W = T, then:

2 W cos (θ/2) = W

2 cos (θ/2) = 1

cos (θ/2) = 1/2

θ/2 = 60°

θ = 120°
