This is a problem about a child pushing a stack of two blocks along a horizontal floor. The masses of the blocks, and the coeffi

cients of friction between the two blocks and between the lower block and the floor will be given. In order to do the pushing, the child will only be touching one of the two blocks. The mass of the upper block in the stack is 0.760 kg . The mass of the lower block in the stack is 1.630 kg . The coefficients of friction between the two blocks are: static 0.790, and kinetic 0.660. The child's mother, who likes to encourage his experiments, has oiled a small strip of the horizontal floor so that it is very slick; the coefficient of kinetic friction between the oiled section of floor and the lower block is only 0.080 and the coefficient of static friction is insignificantly different. Before the pushing starts, here is a question about the vertical forces acting on the two blocks.
Required:
What is the vertical component of the contact force on the lower block by the floor?

Answer:

 N = 23.4 N

Explanation:

After reading that long sentence, let's solve the question

The contact force is the so-called normal in this case we can find it by writing the translational equilibrium equation for the y axis

            N - w₁ -w₂ =

            N = m₁ g + m₂ g

            N = g (m₁ + m₂)

let's calculate

            N = 9.8 (0.760 + 1.630)

            N = 23.4 N

This is the force of the support of the two blocks on the surface.

A ball is thrown downward at 12 m/s from a windowsill 35 m above the ground. At the same time, another ball is thrown upward at
wariber [46]

Answer:

The second ball lands 1.5 s after the first ball.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 12 m/s

height of fall, h = 35 m

initial velocity of the second, v = 12 m/s

Time taken for the first ball to land;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t =\sqrt{ \frac{2*35}{9.8}}\\\\t = 2.67 \ s

determine the maximum height reached by the second ball;

v² = u² -2gh

at maximum height, the final velocity, v = 0

0 = 12² - (2 x 9.8)h

19.6h = 144

h = 144 / 19.6

h = 7.35 m

time to reach this height;

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t_1 =  \sqrt{\frac{2*7.35}{9.8}}\\\\t_1 = 1.23 \ s

Total height above the ground to be traveled by the second ball is given as;

= 7.35 m + 35m

= 42.35 m

Time taken for the second ball to fall from this height;

t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }\\\\t_2 = \sqrt{\frac{2*42.35}{9.8} }\\\\t_2 = 2.94 \ s

total time spent in air by the second ball;

T = t₁ + t₂

T = 1.23 s + 2.94 s

T = 4.17 s

Time taken for the second ball to land after the first ball is given by;

t = 4.17 s -  2.67 s

T = 1.5 s

Therefore, the second ball lands 1.5 s after the first ball.

Which structures capture energy from sunlight
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: D (Chloroplasts)

Explanation: The chloroplast goes through a process called photosynthesis. During this process, specialized pigments in the chloroplast absorb sunlight and use this energy to combine carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen.

If a 70kg man and a 40k boy are both running at the same velocity, who has more momentum?
arlik [135]

Answer:

70 kg man

Explanation:

Let their velocities be v

Mass of the man= 70 kg

Hence, momentum of the man= 70v

Mass of the boy= 40 kg

Hence, momentum of the boy= 40v

70v > 40v

Clearly the momentum of the man is greater than that of the boy.
