When the swimmer gets out, the water on her skin begins to evaporate. This process requires takes a lot of energy and that energy comes from the heat of her body. This is similar to when someone sweats. Hope this helps!

6.  Since we are not sure if the person in the question is actively lifting the crate, we have to determine the downwards force of the crate due to gravity and compare it to the normal force.  

F = ma

F = (15.3)(-9.8)

F = -150N

Since the downwards force of the crate is equivalent to the normal force, it means the person is applying no force in picking up the object.  So to pick up a 150N object from scratch, you would have to exert more force than the weight of the object, so the answer is 294N.


7.  Same idea as question 2.  

First determine the weight of the object:

F = ma

F = (30)(-9.8)

F = -294N

The crate in question is not moving, so the magnitudes of the forces in the upwards and downwards direction has to equal to 0.

-294 + 150N + x = 0

x = 144N  

So the person is exerting 144 N.


10.  First find the force of block B to the right due to its acceleration:

F = ma

F = (24)(0.5)

F = 12N

So block B is moving 12N to the right relative to block A due to block A's movement to the left.  However, block A is being applied a much greater force and is moving quicker to the left than block B is moving to the right of bock A.  The force that is causing block B to experience the lower relative force to the right is because of the friction.  To find the friction:

The sum of the forces in the leftward and rightward direction for block B must equal 12N.

75 - x = 12

x = 63N

So the force of friction of block A on block B is 63N to the left.

Which is a valid velocity reading for an object?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

45 m / s North is a valid vector reading for an object.

Explanation:

Then velocity will be defined by x km / hr North. And, magnitude of velocity defines the speed of the body. Although this tells the speed, but there is no description for the direction, so it's not a vector reading

You push on a cart (18.0kg) at a 30 degree below horizontal angle. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the
podryga [215]

Given that force is applied at an angle of 30 degree below the horizontal

So let say force applied if F

now its two components are given as

F_x = Fcos30


F_y = Fsin30


Now the normal force on the block is given as

N = Fsin30 + mg

N = 0.5F + (18\times 9.8)

N = 0.5F + 176.4

now the friction force on the cart is given as

F_f = \mu N

F_f = 0.625(0.5F + 176.4)

F_f = 110.25 + 0.3125F

now if cart moves with constant speed then net force on cart must be zero

so now we have

F_f + F_x = 0

Fcos30 - (110.25 + 0.3125F) = 0

0.866F - 0.3125F = 110.25

F = 199.2 N

so the force must be 199.2 N
