A 20 kg wagon is rolling to the right across a floor. A person attempts to catch and stop the crate and applies a force of 70 N,

Serggg [28]

Answer:

1.736m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law;

$\sum F_x = ma_x\\$

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\$ where;

Fm is the moving force = 70.0N

Ff is the frictional force acting on the body

$Ff = \mu R\\Ff = \mu mg\\$

$\mu$ is the coefficient of friction

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration/deceleration

The equation becomes;

$Fm - Ff = ma_x\\Fm - \mu mg = ma\\$

Substitute the given parameters

$Fm - \mu mg = ma\\70 - 0.18(20)(9.8) = 20a\\70-35.28 = 20a\\34.72 = 20a\\a = \frac{34.72}{20}\\a = 1.736m/s^2\\$

Hence the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught is 1.736m/s²

If two asteroids moved closer together, what would be the result on the gravitational force each asteroid exerts on the other?

spayn [35]

Gravitational force depends on inverse square law. That is, gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance between asteroids.
As distance between them decreases, gravitational force increases. Hence A is correct.

As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a p

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

charge, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

distance, r = 911 nm = 911 x 10^-9 m

The Coulomb's force is given by

$F=\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

$F=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{\left (911\times 10^{-9} \right )^2}$

F = 2.78 x 10^-16 N

The force between the electron and the proton is 2.78 x 10^-16 N.

A 150-W lamp is placed into a 120-V ac outlet. What is the peak current?

devlian [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula

W = I * E

Givens

W = 150

E = 120

I = ?

Solution

150 = I * 120 Divide by 120

150/120 = I

5/4 = I

I = 1.25

Note: This is an edited note. You have to assume that 120 is the RMS voltage in order to go any further. That means that the peak voltage is √2 times the size of 120. The current has the same note applied to it. If the voltage is its rms value, then the current must (assuming the properties of the bulb do not change)

On the other hand, if the voltage is the peak value at 120 then 1.25 will be correct.

However I would go with the other answerer's post and multiply both values by √2
