The other name for 'net force' is 'unbalanced force'. What is the name of the force that could be applied to an object that woul

Answer:

Since these two forces are of equal magnitude and in opposite directions, they balance each other. The book is said to be at equilibrium. There is no unbalanced force acting upon the book and thus the book maintains its state of motion. When all the forces acting upon an object balance each other, the object will be at equilibrium; it will not accelerate.

How many x-ray photons per second are created by an x-ray tube that produces a flux of x rays having a power of 1.00 W

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Complete question:

How many x-ray photons per second are created by an x-ray tube that produces a flux of x rays having a power of 1.00 W. Assume the average energy per photon in 78.0 keV.

Answer:

The number of x-ray photons per second created by the x-ray tube is 8.01 x 10¹³ photons/sec

Explanation:

Given;

power of the flux produced, P = 1 W = 1 J/s

energy per photon, E = 78 keV

Convert the energy per photon to J

E = 78 x 10³ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.248 x 10⁻¹⁴ J / photon

let the number of photons = n

n(1.248 x 10⁻¹⁴ J / photon) = 1 J/s

$n = \frac{1 \ J/s}{1.248 \times 10^{-14}\ J/photon } = 8.01 \times 10^{13} \ photons/s$

Therefore, the number of x-ray photons per second created by the x-ray tube is 8.01 x 10¹³ photons/sec

There is a skier at the top of a ski slope. The skier has potential energy. What gives the skier his potential energy? A. his sp

NeTakaya

Answer:C

Explanation:

Skier at the top of a ski has Potential Energy due to gravity.

Potential Energy is the Energy Possessed by an object when it attains a height concerning some zero level Position.

During the process of attaining the height, some work has to be done against gravity and this energy stored within the object after attaining some height w.r.t relative zero position.

A ball is thrown down vertically with an initial speed of 20 m/s from a height of 60 m. Find (a) its speed just before it strike

vivado [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ball is thrown downward:

initial velocity, u = - 20 m/s (downward)

height, h = - 60 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s^2 (downward)

(a) Let the speed of the ball as it hits the ground is v.

Use third equation of motion

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$

$v^{2}=(-20)^{2}+2\times 9.8 \times 60$

v = 39.69 m/s

(b) Let t be the time taken

Use First equation of motion

v = u + a t

- 39.69 = - 20 - 9.8 t

t = 2 second

Now the ball is thrown upwards:

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s (upward)

height, h = - 60 m

Acceleration due to gravity, g = - 9.8 m/s^2 (downward)

(c) Let the speed of the ball as it hits the ground is v.

Use third equation of motion

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$

$v^{2}=(-20)^{2}+2\times 9.8 \times 60$

v = 39.69 m/s

(d) Let t be the time taken

Use First equation of motion

v = u + a t

- 39.69 = + 20 - 9.8 t

t = 6.09 second

A large crate with mass m rests on a horizontal floor. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the crate and the

rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) $F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}$

b) $\mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first do a drawing of the situation and a free body diagram. (Check attached picture).

After a close look at the diagram and the problem we can see that the crate will have a constant velocity. This means there will be no acceleration to the crate so the sum of the forces must be equal to zero according to Newton's third law. So we can build a sum of forces in both x and y-direction. Let's start with the analysis of the forces in the y-direction:

$\Sigma F_{y}=0$

We can see there are three forces acting in the y-direction, the weight of the crate, the normal force and the force in the y-direction, so our sum of forces is:

$-F_{y}-W+N=0$

When solving for the normal force we get:

$N=F_{y}+W$

we know that

W=mg

and

$F_{y}=Fsin \theta$

so after substituting we get that

N=F sin θ +mg

We also know that the kinetic friction is defined to be:

$f_{k}=\mu_{k}N$

so we can find the kinetic friction by substituting for N, so we get:

$f_{k}=\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)$

Now we can find the sum of forces in x:

$\Sigma F_{x}=0$

so after analyzing the diagram we can build our sum of forces to be:

$-f+F_{x}=0$

we know that:

$F_{x}=Fcos \theta$

so we can substitute the equations we already have in the sum of forces on x so we get:

$-\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)+Fcos \theta=0$

so now we can solve for the force, we start by distributing $\mu_{k}$ so we get:

$-\mu_{k}F sin \theta -\mu_{k}mg)+Fcos \theta=0$

we add $\mu_{k}mg$ to both sides so we get:

$-\mu_{k}F sin \theta +Fcos \theta=\mu_{k}mg$

Nos we factor F so we get:

$F(cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta)=\mu_{k}mg$

and now we divide both sides of the equation into $(cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta)$ so we get:

$F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}$

which is our answer to part a.

Now, for part b, we will have the exact same free body diagram, with the difference that the friction coefficient we will use for this part will be the static friction coefficient, so by following the same procedure we followed on the previous problem we get the equations:

$f_{s}=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)$

and

F cos θ = f

when substituting one into the other we get:

$F cos \theta=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)$

which can be solved for the static friction coefficient so we get:

$\mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}$

which is the answer to part b.
