Answer:

e = 0.46 m

Explanation:

From the laws of friction, frictional force, F is proportional to normal reaction, R.

F₁ = μR

where μ is coefficient of friction; R = mg and g = 9.8 ms⁻²

Also, from Hooke's law, extension, e, in an elastic spring is proportional to applied force.

F₂ = Ke

where K is force constant of the spring

Since the box is just about to move, the coefficient of friction involved is static friction.

The force on the spring equals the frictional force experienced by the box the box; F₁ = F₂

Ke = μR

e = μR/K

where μ = 0.65; R = 18 kg * 9.8 ms⁻²; K = 250 N/m

e = (0.65 * 18 * 9.8)/250

e = 0.46 m

The force required to extend a rod increases as the cross sectional area

increases.

The rod that experiences the largest force is rod B

Reason:

The elongation of a rod by the application of a force is given by the

following formula;

$\Delta L = \dfrac{F \cdot L}{A \cdot E}$

From the above equation, we have that the elongation is inversely

proportional to the cross sectional area, such that the extension of a rod by

a given force reduces as the cross sectional area of the rod increases.

Therefore, the force required to extend the length of a rod by a specific

amount increases as the cross sectional area of the rod increases,

indicating that the rod with the largest cross sectional area require the

most force and therefore, experiences the largest force.

The rod that experiences the largest force is the rod with the largest cross

sectional area, which is rod B

A ball is attached to a string and rotates in a circle. if it takes 1.00 s to complete one revolution, what is the angular veloc

Paha777 [63]

An object roating at one revokution per second has an angular velocity of 360 degrees per second or 2pi radians per second. This is found by taking the number of revolutions over a period of time and than dividing by the chosen period of time to get the velocity. There are 360 degrees or 2pi radians in one revolution.

At baseball practice, Mason and Alfredo both picked up the same bat and neither would let go until one of them had it for himsel

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Option B. O because the net force was 5 N in Alfredo's direction

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, we shall determine the net force acting on the bat. This can be obtained as follow:

Force of pull by Mason (Fₘ) = 15 N

Force of pull by Alfredo (Fₐ) = 20 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = 20 – 15

Fₙ = 5 N in Alfredo's direction

From the calculation made above, we can see that the net force is 5N in Alfredo's direction. This is the reason why Alfredo end up having the bat.

Describe, in as much detail as you can, how the energy

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

As a type of thermal power station, a coal-fired power station converts chemical energy stored in coal successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. The coal is usually pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler.Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.

Sidana [21]

Metals are giant structures of atoms held together by metallic bonds. “Giant” implies that large but variable numbers of Atoms are involved - depending on the size of the bits of metal. most metals are close packed - that is, they fit as many items as possible into the available volume.
