Answer:

68.8 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of box = 18 Kg

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.39

Force of friction (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the normal force of the box. This is illustrated below:

Mass (m) of object = 18 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Normal force (N) =?

N = mg

N = 18 × 9.8

N = 176.4 N

Finally, we shall determine the force of friction experienced by the object. This is illustrated below:

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.39

Normal force (N) = 176.4 N

Force of friction (F) =?

F = μN

F = 0.39 × 176.4

F = 68.796 ≈ 68.8 N

Thus, the box experience a frictional force of 68.8 N.

Approximately 80% of the energy used by the body must be dissipated thermally. The mechanisms available to eliminate this energy
Semenov [28]

Answer:

the correct answer is c) 23 g

Explanation:

The heat lost by the runner has two parts: the heat absorbed by sweat in evaporation and the heat given off by the body

     Q_lost = - Q_absorbed

     

The latent heat is

      Q_absorbed = m L

The heat given by the body

      Q_lost = M c_{e} ΔT

       

where m is the mass of sweat and M is the mass of the body

       m L = M c_{e} ΔT

        m = M c_{e} ΔT / L

let's replace

        m = 90  3.500  1.8 / 2.42 10⁶

 

        m = 0.2343 kg

reduced to grams

        m = 0.2342 kg (1000g / 1kg)

        m = 23.42 g

 the correct answer is c) 23 g

In outer space, a piece of rock continues moving at the same velocity for
Ray Of Light [21]

The absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.

<h3>Absence of external force on the outer space</h3>

The outer space is almost an absolute vacuum, because it's nearly empty. There is no matter such as air in the outer space that will provide an external force needed to change the velocity of the piece of rock.

From Newton's first law of motion, an object in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, will continue in that state unless it is acted upon by an external force.

Thus, the absence of external force in the outer space, allows the piece of rock to continue moving at the same velocity for thousands of years.
