A man is pulling a 20 kg box with a rope that makes an angle of 60 with the horizontal.If he applies a force of 150 N and a fric

tional force of 15 N is present, calculate the acceleration of the box.

∑ <em>F</em> (horizontal) = (150 N) cos(60°) - 15 N = (20 kg) <em>a</em>

==> <em>a</em> = ((150 N) cos(60°) - 15 N)/(20 kg) = 3 m/s²

A boat is able to move through still water at 20 m/s. It makes a round trip to a town 3.0 km upstream. If the river flows at 5m/

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option e) 320 s

Explanation:

Here, distance = 3.0 km = 3000 m

The velocity of boat when it is going upstream;

Upstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water - velocity of river flow

So, Upstream velocity $=20m/s-5m/s=15m/s$

So,Time to go upstream

$(t_{1}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{15m/s} =200 s$

The velocity of boat when it is going downstream;

Downstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water + velocity of river flow

So, Downstream velocity $=20m/s+5m/s=25m/s$

So,Time to go downstream

$(t_{2}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{25m/s} =120 s$

So, total time (t) = $t_{1}+t_{2}=200s+120 s=320s$

Option E is the correct answer.

An object of mass m is traveling in a circle with centripetal force Fc. If the velocity of the object is v, what is the radius o

borishaifa [10]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for centripetal force:
$F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

We can rearrange the equation to solve for 'r'.

Multiply both sides by r:
$r * F_c = mv^2$

Divide both sides by Fc:
$\boxed{ r= \frac{mv^2}{F_c}}$
