Answer: C) 48 N forward

===================================================

Explanation:

Subtract the two forces, since they are working opposite one another.

79-31 = 48

The net force is 48 newtons forward. The truck is moving forward since the engine's force (79 N) is larger than the force of friction (31 N).

The force of friction cannot exceed the engine's force because friction only slows down an object, and does not push the object backward. In other words, if the object was stationary, then the ground isn't pushing the object backwards assuming you're on a level flat ground.

A capacitor consists of two square plates, 8.7 cm on a side, separated by a 2.0 mm air gap. How much energy would be stored in t

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

122.84 J

Explanation:

Since plate is square, area, A is given by $(8.7/100)^{2}=0.007569m^{2}$

The distance between plates, d, is given in the question as 2mm=0.002m

Charge on plate, Q, as given in the question is 240 $\mu c$

Assuming mica dielectric constant, k of 7

Capacitance, C is given by

C= $\frac {k\epsilon_{o}A}{d}=\frac {(7)(8.85*10^{-12})(0.007569)}{0.002}=2.34*10*^{-10}F$

Stored energy, E is given by

E= $\frac {Q^{2}}{2C}=\frac {(240*10^{-6})^{2}}{2*(2.34*10^{-10})}=122.84J$

Therefore, the stored energy is 122.84 J

3. How do you represent the strength of a<br> force in a free-body diagram?

ivann1987 [24]

Generally, the length of the line will indicate how strong the force is. If you have two opposing forces and one is higher than the other, you would draw the line of the higher force visibly longer.

Given a volume of 1000. Cm^3 of an ideal gas at 300 k, what volume would iy occupy at a temperature of 600 k

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:2000 cm³

Here, pressure remains constant.

So, b the gas law

V/V' = T/ T'

1000 / V' = 300 / 600

V' = 2000 cm³

You are in the frozen food section of the grocery store and you notice that your hand gets cold when you place it on the glass w

Simora [160]

Answer:

I think my friend got it all wrong, as coolness can not be transferred but heat was actually transferred between my hand and the glass windows

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, coolness can not be transferred, only heat can be transferred

Here is how the mechanism of why i felt cold works, my body gave out heat, hence there was heat transfer from a region of high to a low heat region, equilibrium was reached and I started feeling the coolness in my hands.
