A 50-kg box is being pushed a distance of 8.0 m across the floor by a force P with arrow whose magnitude is 159 N. The force P w

ith arrow is parallel to the displacement of the box. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.24. Determine the work done on the box by each of the four forces that act on the box. Be sure to include the proper plus or minus sign for the work done by each force. (The floor is level and horizontal. Forces that act on the box: pushing force P, frictional force f, normal force N, and weight mg.)

Answer:

Wp = 1,272 J

Wf = -940.8 J

Wn = 0

Wg = 0

Explanation:

  • Applying the definition of work, as the product of the component of the  force applied, along the direction of the displacement, times the displacement, we find that due to the normal force is always perpendicular to the surface, it does no work, as it has not a component in the direction of the displacement, so Wn = 0.
  • As the weight goes directly downward, it has no component in the direction of the displacement either, so Wg = 0.
  • We can get the work done by the force applied P, simply as follows:

        W_{p} = F_{p} * d * cos \theta = 159 N * 8.0 m * cos 0 = 1,272 J (1)

  • Finally, we have the work done by the force of friction that always opposes to the displacement, so it has negative sign.
  • The frictional force , can be written as follows:

        F_{fr} = \mu k * F_{n} (2)

        where μk = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.24

         Fn = Normal Force

  • In this case, since the surface is level and horizontal, and there is no acceleration of the box in the vertical direction, this means that the normal force (in magnitude) must be equal to the weight:
  • Fn = m*g = 50 kg * 9.8 m/s2 = 490 N
  • Replacing these values in (2), we get:

       F_{fr} = 0.24 * 50 kg* 9.8 m/s2 = 117.6 N

  • Applying the definition of work, we can get the work done by the frictional force, as follows:

        W_{ffr} = F_{fr} * d * cos \theta = F_{fr} * d * cos (180) = - F_{fr} * d = -117.6 N * 8.0 m \\ =  W_{ffr} = -940.8 N

Bosons & Fermions A new type of quantum object has been discovered. When a large collection of these are cooled to almost ab
Lena [83]

Answer:

Only 2,3,4 are true

Explanation:

Bosons Particles are particles that condense to the same state. Bosons particle have integral spin like 0 , $\hbar$, 2$\hbar, 3$\hbar$, etc. Bosons particles always have asymmetric wave function and there is exchange of particles.

1) It does not obey Fermi_ Dirac statistics

2) It obeys Bose-Einstein statistics

3) The object can have intrinsic spin 2$\hbar

4) Yes the Bosons particle is always symmetric with exchange of particles

5) No Bosons particle are symmetric and not asymmetric

For a constant voltage, how is the resistance related to the current?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Resistance is inversely proportional to current, so when the resistance doubles, the current is cut in half. Resistance is directly proportional to current, so when the resistance doubles, the current is cut in half.

A ball traveling at a speed ν0 rolls off a desk and lands at a horizontal distance x0 away from the desk, as shown in the figure
klasskru [66]

Answer:

3x_0

Explanation:

The horizontal distance covered by the ball in the falling is only determined by its horizontal motion - in fact, it is given by

d=v_x t

where

v_x is the horizontal velocity

t is the time of flight

The time of flight, instead, is only determined by the vertical motion of the ball: however, in this problem the vertical velocity is not changed (it is zero in both cases), so the time of flight remains the same.

In the first situation, the horizontal distance covered is

d=v_0 t = x_0

in the second case, the horizontal velocity is increased to

v_x' = 3v_0

And so the new distance travelled will be

d' = v_x' t = 3 v_0 t = 3 x_0

So, the distance increases linearly with the horizontal velocity.

Which best describes the ages of the rocks on opposite sides of and the same distance from, A Seafloor spreading center?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer;

-The rocks are the same age

Explanation;

Seafloor spreading is the process by which the seafloor moves apart at mid-ocean ridges.  Divergent seafloor spreading occurs at this type of plate boundary.

Seafloor spreading and other tectonic activity processes are the result of mantle convection. Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle’s convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.
