A 50.0-kg box rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300 and the

Dimas [21]

Answer:

98N and 147N

Explanation:

We have the following information:

$m=50kg\\\mu_s =0.4\\\mu_k = 0.2\\F=140N$

We can find the static fricton force as follow,

$F=\mu_s * N$

Where N is the normal force (mg)

$F=0.3*50*9.8\\F=147N$

Static friction force at 147N is greater than the force applied hence body does not move.

$F=\mu_k N = 0.2*50*9.8= 98N$

The particle, initially at rest, is acted upon only by the electric force and moves from point a to point b along the x axis, in

bezimeni [28]

1) Potential difference: 1 V

2) $V_b-V_a = -1 V$

Explanation:

When a charge moves in an electric field, its electric potential energy is entirely converted into kinetic energy; this change in electric potential energy is given by

$\Delta U=q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge's magnitude

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference between the initial and final position

In this problem, we have:

$q=4.80\cdot 10^{-19}C$ is the magnitude of the charge

$\Delta U = 4.80\cdot 10^{-19}J$ is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

Therefore, the potential difference (in magnitude) is

$\Delta V=\frac{\Delta U}{q}=\frac{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}{4.80\cdot 10^{-19}}=1 V$

Here we have to evaluate the direction of motion of the particle.

We have the following informations:

- The electric potential increases in the +x direction

- The particle is positively charged and moves from point a to b

Since the particle is positively charged, it means that it is moving from higher potential to lower potential (because a positive charge follows the direction of the electric field, so it moves away from the source of the field)

This means that the final position b of the charge is at lower potential than the initial position a; therefore, the potential difference must be negative:

$V_b-V_a = - 1V$

James and John dive from an overhang into the lake below. James simply drops straight down from the edge. John takes a running s

liraira [26]

Answer:

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Vertical motion of James : -

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = g

Displacement, s = h

Substituting,

s = ut + 0.5 at²

h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

$t_{James}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Vertical motion of John : -

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = g

Displacement, s = h

Substituting,

s = ut + 0.5 at²

h = 0 x t + 0.5 x g x t²

$t_{John}=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

So both times are same.

Both of them reach the lake at the same time.
