Answer:

The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.

Explanation:

The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.

If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.

What is the frequency of a radio wave with an energy of 3.686 × 10−24 j/photon?answer in units of hz?

Makovka662 [10]

To solve this problem, we have to use the formula:

E = h f

where E is total energy, h is Plancks constant 6.626x10^-34 J s, f is frequency

f = E / h

f = 3.686 × 10−24 J / (6.626x10^-34 J s)

<span>f = 5.56 x 10^9 Hz</span>

You drag a crate across a floor with a rope. The force applied is 750 N and the angle of the rope is 25.0° above the horizontalH

frez [133]

a.

The work done by a constant force along a rectilinear motion when the force and the displacement vector are not colinear is given by:

$W=F\cos\theta\cdot d$

where F is the magnitude of the force, theta is the angle between them and d is the distance.

The problen gives the following data:

The magnitude of the force 750 N.

The angle between the force and the displacement which is 25°

The distance, 26 m.

Plugging this in the formula we have:

$\begin{gathered} W=\left(750\right)\left(\cos25\right)\left(26\right) \\ W=17673 \end{gathered}$

Therefore the work done is 17673 J.

b)

The power is given by:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

the problem states that the time it takes is 6 s. Then:

$\begin{gathered} P=\frac{17673}{6} \\ P=2945.5 \end{gathered}$

Therefore the power is 2945.5 W
