Unless you have a diagram to include or any other additional info, I'll assume the block is being pulled by two opposing forces along the horizontal surface.

Horizontally, the block is under the influence of

• one rope pulling in one direction with magnitude 15 N,

• the other rope pulling in the opposite direction with mag. 5 N, and

• friction, opposing the direction of the block's motion, with mag. 3 N.

It stands to reason that the block is accelerating in the direction of the larger pulling force.

(A) By Newton's second law, we have

15 N + (-5 N) + (-3 N) = <em>m</em> (1 m/s²)

where <em>m</em> is the mass of the block. Solve for <em>m</em> :

7 N = <em>m</em> (1 m/s²)

<em>m</em> = (7 N) / (1 m/s²)

<em>m</em> = 7 kg

(B) The friction force is proportional to the normal force, so that if <em>f</em> is the mag. of friction and <em>n</em> is the mag. of the normal force, then <em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em> where <em>µ</em> is the coefficient of friction.

The block does not bounce up and down, so its vertical forces are balanced, which means the normal force and the block's weight (mag. <em>w</em>) cancel out:

<em>n</em> + (-<em>w</em>) = 0

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em>

<em>n</em> = <em>m</em> <em>g</em>

where <em>g</em> = 9.8 m/s² is the mag. of the acceleration due to gravity.

<em>n</em> = (7 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

<em>n</em> = 68.6 N

Then

3 N = <em>µ</em> (68.6 N)

<em>µ</em> = (3 N) / (68.6 N)

<em>µ</em> ≈ 0.044

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Q = 200800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 4kg

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 90.0°C

Specific heat capacity of glass = 837 J/kg°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 90 - 30

dt = 60°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 4*837*60

Q = 200800 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 200800 Joules.

the wattage ratting of a light bulb is the power it sonsumers when it is connected accross a 120 V potential difference what is
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

240 Ω

Explanation:

Resistance: This can be defined as the opposition to the flow of current in an electric field. The S.I unit of resistance is ohms (Ω).

The expression for resistance power and voltage is give as,

P = V²/R.......................... Equation 1

Where P = Power, V = Voltage, R = Resistance

Making R the subject of the equation,

R = V²/P.................... Equation 2

Given: V = 120 V, P = 60 W.

Substitute into equation 2

R = 120²/60

R = 240 Ω

Hence the resistance of the bulb = 240 Ω
