Agata [3.3K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

11.27N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the book  = 1.15kg

Unknown:

Magnitude of the normal force  = ?

Solution:

The normal force is the vertical force exerted by a body on an object.

It can be described as the weight of an object.

 Normal force  = mass x acceleration due to gravity

 Normal force  = 1.15 x 9.8  = 11.27N

Which of the following affects the rate constant of a reaction?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Arrhenius' equation relates the dependence of rate constant of a chemical reaction to the temperature. The equation below is the Arrhenius equation
k = Ae ^{{ \frac{-Ea}{RT} } } where k is the rate constant, T is the absolute temperature. As the temperature of the system increases, the rate constant also increases and vice versa.

How do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?
kotegsom [21]
<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>

How much power does it take to lift a 30.0 n box 10.0 m high in 5.00 s, if you must apply a 62n force to lift the box?
Illusion [34]
Power is defined as the rate at which the body is doing work:
P=\frac{W}{t}
Work is defined as displacement done by the force times that displacement:
W=F\cdot h
We know that we need 62N to move the box, so when we apply this force along the path of 10m we have done:
W=62N\cdot10m=620J
of work.
Now we just divide that by 5s to get how much power is required:
P=\frac{620J}{5s}=124W

7. Two people are pushing a 40.0kg table across the floor. Person 1 pushes with a force of 490N
artcher [175]

Answer:

20.4 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

To start doing this problem, first draw a free body diagram of the table. My teacher always tells us to do this, and I find that it is very helpful. I have attached a free body diagram to this answer- take a look at it.

First, let us see if Net force = MA. To do that, we need to determine whether the object is at equilibrium horizontally. For an object to be at equilibrium, it either needs to be moving at a constant velocity or not moving at all. Also, if an object is at equilibrium, there will not be any acceleration. But we know that there IS acceleration horizontally, so it cannot be in equilibrium. If it is not in equilibrium, we can use the formula ∑F= ma.

Let us determine the net force. Since the object is moving horizontally, we can ignore the weight and normal force, because they are vertical forces. The only horizontal forces we need to worry about are the applied force and force of friction.

Applied force = 1055 N (490 + 565)

Friction force= Unknown

To find the friction force, use the kinetic friction formula, Friction = μkN

μk is the coefficient, which the problem includes- it is 0.613.

N is the normal force, which we have to find.

*To find the normal force, we have to determine if the object is at equilibrium VERTICALLY. Since it has no acceleration vertically (it's not moving up/down), it is at equilibrium. Now, when an object is at equilibrium in one direction, it means that all the forces in that direction are equal. What are our vertical forces? Weight (mg) and Normal force (N). So it means that the Normal force is equal to the Weight.

Weight = mg = (40)(9.8) = 392 N

Normal force = 392 N

Now, plug it back into the formula (μkN): (0.613)(392) = 240.296 N

Friction = 240.296 N

Now that we know the friction, we can find the horizontal net force. Just subtract the friction force, 240.296 from the applied force, 1055 N

Horizontal Net Force: 814.704 N

Now that we know the net force, plug in the numbers for the formula

∑F= ma.

814.704 = (40.0)(a)

*Divide on both sides)

a = 20.3676 m/s^2

Round it to 3 significant figures, to get:

20.4 m/s^{2}
