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

Answer:

(a) $V=11.86\ V$

(b) $V=9.76\ V$

Explanation:

<u>Electric Circuits</u>

Suppose we have a resistive-only electric circuit. The relation between the current I and the voltage V in a resistance R is given by the Ohm's law:

$V=R.I$

(a) The electromagnetic force of the battery is $\varepsilon =12.6\ V$ and its internal resistance is $R_i=0.06\ \Omega$ . Knowing the equivalent resistance of the headlights is $R_e=5.2\ \Omega$ , we can compute the current of the circuit by using the Kirchhoffs Voltage Law or KVL:

$\varepsilon=i.R_i+i.R_e=i.(R_i+R_e)$

Solving for i

$\displaystyle i=\frac{\varepsilon}{ R_i+R_e}=\frac{12}{0.06+5.2}=2.28\ A$

i=2.28\ A

The potential difference across the headlight bulbs is

$V=\varepsilon -i.R_i=12\ V-2.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=11.86\ V$

$V=11.86\ V$

(b) If the starter motor is operated, taking an additional 35 Amp from the battery, then the total load current is 2.28 A + 35 A = 37.28 A. Thus the output voltage of the battery, that is the voltage that the bulbs have is

$V=\varepsilon -i.R_i=12\ V-37.28\ A\cdot 0.06\ \Omega=9.76\ V$

I need help with this please

kondaur [170]

Answer:

1. The respiratory system functions when our involuntary nervous system sends impulses to the muscles in the diaphragm; thereby, causing the lungs to expand and contract.

2. The respiratory system oxygenates the blood which is vital for bodily function as oxygenated blood is carried from your lungs to the left side of your heart, to be circulated throughout the body. Furthermore deoxygenated blood is carried back to the right side of your heart to get oxygenated once more.

3. The other body systems that are crucial for the lungs to function are the nervous system and the muscular system.

4. without the raspatory system the body wouldn't receive any oxygen and the brain would slowly die. therefore, without the brain the heart would stop functioning and atrophy etc.

Sav [38]

Answer:

Work = 5941 J

Explanation:

As we know that work done is given by the equation

$W = F. d$

here we know that

$F = (200 N)\hat i - (149 N) \hat j$

also we have

$d = (23m) \hat i - (9 m)\hat j$

now from above formula we have

$W = (200 N\hat i - 149 N \hat j).(23 m\hat i - 9m \hat j)$

$W = 5941 J$
