A nurse pushes a cart by exerting a force on the handle at a downward angle of 36 degrees below the horizontal. the loaded cart
Troyanec [42]

Since it was stated that it must move at constant velocity, so the only force it must overpower is the frictional force.

So the equation is:

F cos θ = Ff

F cos 36 = 65 N

F = 80.34 N

 

<span>So the nurse must exert 80.34 N of force</span>

An 8.00- W resistor is dissipating 100 watts. What are the current through it and the difference of potential across it?
hjlf

Answer:

I= 3.5 amps

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

rating of resistor R= 8 ohms

power P= 100W

Required

The current I

Step two

Yet this power is also given by

P = I^2R

make I subject of the formula we have

I= \sqrt{\frac{P}{R} }

substitute

I= \sqrt{\frac{100}{8} }\\\\I=\sqrt{12.5}\\\\I= 3.5 amps

Which of these boxes will not accelerate? A. B. C. D.
serg [7]

Answer: The correct answer is Image B.

Explanation: For an object to accelerate, there should be unbalanced forces present. An object will move in the direction of net force.

Balanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are equal in magnitude but act in opposite direction. The net forces are 0.

Unbalanced forces are defined as the forces acting on the same object which are unequal in magnitude. The net force is non-zero.

For the given images:

Image A: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Image B: This box will not accelerate because the net force is zero as all the forces are balancing one another. Hence, the object will stay at rest.

Image C: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and  is acting in between the normal and applied force.

Image D: This box will accelerate easily because the net force is non-zero and is moving in right direction.

Hence, the correct option is Image B.

Alice suffered a minor electrical shock as she switched on her bathroom light. She is concerned and wants to prevent it from hap
snow_tiger [21]
Get a pull chord light switch installed in her bathroom by a qualified electrician asap. Meanwhile, keep hands as dry as possible, and try not to go near that switch until it's either been properly earthed, or whatever the problem actually is, and get qualified advice on what the problem is. Don't have wet feet either, and don't stand in puddles of water whilst operating - i she has to - the switch. 250V AC mains can be lethal, and at least painful.

What is happening when two waves with identical crests and troughs meet?
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

When two waves meet in such a way that their crests line up together, then it's called constructive interference. The resulting wave has a higher amplitude. In destructive interference, the crest of one wave meets the trough of another, and the result is a lower total amplitude.
