How do Newton’s laws of motion explain why it is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players can pass a pu

ck as quickly as possible?

Answer:

Newton's first law

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. Therefore, when the ice is smooth, friction gets lesser, and the force acted on that Puck will be decreased.

Bill leaves his 60 W desk lamp on every day, including weekends, for eight hours. After one month (30 days), how much total ener
maxonik [38]

' W ' is the symbol for 'Watt' ... the unit of power equal to 1 joule/second.

That's all the physics we need to know to answer this question.
The rest is just arithmetic.

(60 joules/sec) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (3600 sec/hour)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 3600) (joule · day · hour · sec) / (sec · day · hour)

= 51,840,000 joules

Wait a minute !  Hold up !  Hee haw !  Whoa ! 
Excuse me.  That will never do.
I see they want the answer in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh).
In that case, it's

(60 watts) · (30 days) · (8 hours/day) · (1 kW/1,000 watts)

= (60 · 30 · 8 · 1 / 1,000) (watt · day · hour · kW / day · watt)

= 14.4 kW·hour

Rounded to the nearest whole number:

14 kWh

If Steve throws the football 50 meters in 3 seconds, what is the average speed of the football? Speed = distance / time Question
leva [86]

Answer:

A. 16.67 m/s

Explanation:

Speed or velocity refers to the rate of change in distance over a change in time. That is;

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Where;

Speed is in metre/seconds

Distance is in metre

Time is in seconds.

In this question, Steve throws a football 50 meters in 3 seconds. The average speed can be calculated this:

S = D/t

Where; d = 50m, t = 3s

S = 50/3

S = 16.6666666

S = 16.67m/s

Bob is pushing a box across the floor at a constant speed of 1.7 m/s, applying a horizontal force whose magnitude is 70 N. Alice
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) 70 N, b) b. Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Explanation:

a) A constant speed means that magnitude of friction force is equal to the magnitude of the external force. The friction force is directly proportional to the normal force, which is equal to the weight of the box. Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 70 N.

b) Alice used initially a greater force to accelerate the box up to needed speed and later reduced the external force to keep speed constant. The right choice is option b.

Two positive charge spheres, the spheres are separated by 0.40 m. The charge on the first sphere is 100 microcoulombs and the
agasfer [191]

Answer: 168.75 N

Explanation:

first, let's convert microcoulombs to coulombs

q1 = 1e-4 C

q2 = 3e-5 C

r = 0.4 m

then use the equation Fe = \frac{kq_{1} q_{2}}{r^{2} }

plug in values --> F = (9e9*1e-4*3e-5)/(0.4)^2

F = 168.75 N
