If you push a crate across a factory floor at constant speed in a constant direction, what is the magnitude of the force of fric

tion on the crate compared to your push
Physics
1 answer:
poizon [28]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push

Explanation:

Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force

F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0

So, F - f = 0

Thus, F = f

So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

The pressure exerted by a gas is 2.0 atm while it has a volume of 350 mL. What would be the volume of this sample of gas at stan
34kurt

Answer:

700 mL or 0.0007 m³

Explanation:

P₁ = Initial pressure = 2 atm

V₁ = Initial volume = 350 mL

P₂ = Final pressure = 1 atm

V₂ = Final volume

Here the temperature remains constant. So, Boyle's law can be applied here.

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}=V_2\\\Rightarrow V_2=\frac{2\times 350}{1}\\\Rightarrow V_2=700\ mL

So, volume of this sample of gas at standard atmospheric pressure would be 700 mL or 0.0007 m³

4 (JAMB) The diagram below shows a light see-saw, which is balanced horizontally by the weights W₁, W2, W3, W4 in the positions
damaskus [11]

The equation that represents the principle of the lever balance is:

  • W₁ + W₂ = W3 + W4; option A.

<h3>What is the principle of moments?</h3>

The principle of moments states when a body is in equilibrium, the sum of the clockwise moment about a point equals the sum of anticlockwise moment about that point.

A see-saw represents a balanced system of moments.

The sum of clockwise moment = The sum of anticlockwise moments.

Assuming W1 and W2 are clockwise moments and W3 and W4 are anticlockwise moments.

The equation will b:  W₁ + W₂ = W3 + W4

In conclusion, a balanced see-saw illustrates the principle of the lever balance.

        where

                                     T=12*60=720min

                                     \omega=\frac{2\pi}{720}

                                     \omega=4.4**10^{-3} rad/min

A hiker walks 11 km due north from camp and then turns and walks 11 km due east. What is the magnitude of the displacement (on a
sattari [20]

Answer:

16 km

Explanation:

Drawing a right triangle to model the problem helps. I started by drawing the lines of the triangle to model the hiker's journey- a vertical straight line for 11 km north and then a horizontal line connected to the top of it for 11 km east; I then drew the hypothenuse to connect the two lines.

The hypothenuse is what we have to solve for, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since both distances are 11 km both a and b in the equation are 11.

11^2 + 11^2 = c^2

121 + 121 = c^2

242 = c^2

c = 15.56

Rounding the answer makes it 16 km for the hiker's magnitude of displacement.
