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.

This is how manganese appears in the periodic table. The arrow is pointing to the atomic of manganese.
Liula [17]
The way an element is shown in the periodic table is called the element's symbol. In the case of manganese, it is Mn. Other information shown alongside the element's symbol is the atomic mass, which for manganese is 55, and the atomic number of the element, which for manganese is 25.

2. What is the kinetic energy of a 7.26 kg bowling ball that is rolling at a speed of 2 m/s?
telo118 [61]

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object when that object is moving in space. The higher the mass of an object or higher the speed of an object the higher the kinetic energy will be.

So to calculate the Kinetic Energy we can use the following formula

K.E=(1/2)*m*v^2

Inserting the values in formula gives:

K.E=1/2*7.26*2^2

14.52J

This is the final answer which gives the kinetic energy of the ball.

Which has more kinetic energy, a 4.0 kg bowling ball moving at 1.0 m/s or a 1.0 kg
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of bocce ball is more.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a bowling ball, m₁ = 4 kg

Speed of the bowling ball, v₁ = 1 m/s

Mass of bocce ball, m₂ = 1 kg

Speed of bocce ball, v₂ = 4 m/s

We need to say which has more kinetic energy.

The kinetic energy of an object is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Kinetic energy of the bowling ball,

E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2\\\\E_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times (1)^2\\\\E_1=2\ J

The kinetic energy of the bocce ball,

E_2=\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\\E_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times (4)^2\\\\E_2=8\ J

So, the kinetic energy of bocce ball is more than that of bowling ball.

What is a fixed volume
nasty-shy [4]

A fixed volume is where either a solid or liquid has a volume that is constant under the same pressure and temperature. A gas cannot have a fixed volume because it changes by itself without any human interaction.

Best of Luck!

6. Given that white light contains all colors of the spectrum, what growth result would you expect under white light?
lesya692 [45]

You could probably expect normal plant growth, as a white light is similar to the sun in the respect that it contains all colors of the spectrum.
