sweet-ann [11.9K]

Given :

A box weighing 12,000 N is parked on a 36° slope.

To Find :

What will be the component of the weight parallel to the plane that balances friction.

Solution :

The component of that will be parallel to the plane to balance friction is :

F \ cos ( 90 - 36)^o\\\\F\ ( sin\ 36^o)

Therefore, component of force to balance friction is F sin 36° .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Debbie places two shopping carts in a cart Corral. she pushes the first cart, which then pushes a second cart. what force is bei
Bingel [31]

When Debbie pushes the first cart she is using an applied force. An applied force is created when someone or something pushes another thing using, of course, an applied force. Now, when the second cart is being pushed by the first cart, this is also an applied force. You can tell because the first cart is being pushed using forced and this causes the second cart to be pushed using some of the force that is being transmitted to the first cart.


Debbie exerts applied force on the first cart. The first cart exert applied force on the second cart.

A person's _____________ will change if they move from the Earth to the moon.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

1. A person's weight will change if they move from the Earth to the moon.

In fact, the weight of a person is given by:

W=mg

where m is the mass of the person and g is the gravitational acceleration. The mass of the person, m, is the same on the Earth and on the moon, but the value of g is different on the Moon (about 1/6 of the Earth's value), so the weight also changes.


2. An astronaut is launched into space. The mass of the astronaut did not change. This is measured in Kg.

The mass of an object (or of a person, as in this case) is an intrinsec property of the object, that depends on the amount of matter inside the object: therefore, this quantity does not depend on the location of the object, so it is the same on the Earth, on the Moon and in space.


3. What is the weight of a ring tailed lemur that has a mass of 10 kg? -98 N

The weight of the lemur is given by:

W=mg

where m=10 kg is the lemur's mass and g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration. Using these numbers, we find

W=(10 kg)(-9.8 m/s^2)=-98 N

and the negative sign simply means that the direction of the weight is downward.


4. What is the mass of the lemur from the previous question if it was on the International Space Station? 10 kg

As we said in question 1), the mass of an object does not depend on the location, so the mass of the lemur is still 10 kg, as in the previous exercise.


5. A rocket being thrust upward as the force of the fuel being burned pushes downward is an example of which of Newton's laws? Third's Newton Law

Third's Newton Law states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A".

Applied to this case, the two objects are the fuel and the rocket. The fuel is pushed backward by the rocket, so the fuel exerts an equal and opposite force on the rocket, which then moves forward.


6. When a cannon is fired, the projectile moves forward. According to Newton's 3rd law, the cannon will want to travel backward.

Third's Newton Law states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A".

Applied to this case, the two objects are the cannon and the projectile.The projectile is pushed forward by the cannon, so the projectile exerts an equal and opposite force on the cannon, which moves backward.


7. An object has a weight of 21,532 N on Earth. What is the mass of the object? 2,197 kg

The weight of the object is given by: W=mg

If we re-arrange the formula and we use W=21,532 N, we can find the mass of the object:

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{21,532 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=2,197 kg


8. What is the mass of the object from the previous question if we put it on the moon? The force of gravity on the moon is 1.62 m/s2.  2,197 kg

As we said in question 4), the mass of an object does not change if we move it to another location, so its mass is still 2,197 kg.


9. How much force is exerted if a 250 kg object has an acceleration of 750 m/s2 ? 187,500 N

The force exerted on the object is given by Newton's second law:

F=ma

where F is the force, m=250 kg is the mass and a=750 m/s^2 is the acceleration. By using these numbers, we find

F=(250 kg)(750 m/s^2)=187,500 N


10. A resting soccer ball moving after it is kicked is an example of which of Newton's laws? Newton's second law

Newton's second law states that when an object is acted upon unbalanced force, the object has an acceleration, given by the law

F=ma

So, in this case, the ball is kicked and so an unbalanced force is applied to it, and for this reason the ball has an acceleration (in fact, it starts from rest, but then its velocity increases since it starts moving).

Calculate the temperature change when 1000J of heat is supplied to 100g of water.<br> Please explain
jasenka [17]

Answer:

It is sensible heat- the amount of heat absorbed by 1 kg of water when heated at a constant pressure from freezing point 0 degree Celsius to the temperature of formation of steam i.e. saturation temperature

So it is given as - mass× specific heat × rise in temperature

i.e. 4.2 × T

4.2 × (100–0)

So it is 420kj

If you ask how much quantity of heat is required to convert 1 kg of ice into vapour then you have to add latent heat of fusion that is 336 kj/kg and latent heat of vaporization 2257 kj/kg (these two process occur at constant temperature so need to add rise in tempeature)

So it will be

Q= 1×336 + 1× 4.18 ×100 + 1× 2257

Q = 3011 kj

Or 3.1 Mj

Hope you got this!!!!!!
