Answer:

a. How much force is required to lift a box of weight 100 N upwards with a constant acceleration of 6.0 m/s2?

b. How much upwards force is required to lower the same box with a downward acceleration of 3.0 m/s2?

a. As the box weighs 100 N, its mass is 100 N / 9.8 ms-2 = 10.2 kg. To have an upward acceleration of 6.0 m/s2, there must be a net upward force of F =ma = 10.2 kg x 6.0 m/s2 = 61.2 N. The total upward force must be equal have a magnitude to overcome the downward force of gravity and to provide for the upward acceleration Ftotal up = 100 N + 61.2 N = 161.2 N.

b. There must be a net downward force F = ma = 10.2 kg x 3.0 m/s2 = 30.6 N upward. There must be an upward force to counteract the downward force of gravity so that the resultant will be 30.6 N. The equation necessary for this is 100 N - upward force = 30.6 N. Solving for the upward force gives 69.4 N.

What is the total resistance in the circuit? (include unit in answer - ohms)

solmaris [256]

Answer:60 ohms

Explanation:

R1=30 ohms

R2=15 ohms

R3=15 ohms

Let the total resistance be R

R=R1 + R2 + R3

R=30 + 15 +15

R=60

Total resistance is 60 ohms

A electric heater that draws 13.5 a of dc current has been left on for 10 min. how many electrons that have passed through the h

kicyunya [14]

By definition, Ampere is a unit of current which is a measure of the amount of charge passing through a point in a circuit per unit of time, with an equivalent charge of 1.602 x 10^(-19) Coulomb per electron. To determine the number of electrons passing through the heater, we use the definition of the current. We calculate as follows:

13.5 A = 13.5 C per second
Charge = 13.5 C/s (10 min) ( 60 s / 1 min)
Charge = 8100 C

Number of electrons = 8100 C / 1.602 x 10^(-19) C per electron
Number of electrons = 5.1 x 10^22 electrons

Therefore, there are 5.1 x10^22 electrons that assed through the heater for 10 minutes.

You are a member of an alpine rescue team and must project a box of supplies, with mass m, up an incline of constant slope angle

AlekseyPX

Answer:

$v = \sqrt{2gh + \frac{2\mu_kgh}{tan\theta}}$

Explanation:

When we push the box from the bottom of the incline towards the top then by work energy theorem we can say that

Work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy of the system

$- mgh - F_f (s) = 0 - \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

here we know that

$F_f = \mu_k mg cos\theta$

also we know that the length of the incline is given as

$s = \frac{h}{sin\theta}$

now we have

$- mgh - \mu_k mgcos\theta(\frac{h}{sin\theta}) = -\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

so we have

$v = \sqrt{2gh + \frac{2\mu_kgh}{tan\theta}}$

Marc and Linh stretch out a long spring on the classroom floor. Marc holds one end of the spring still. Linh creates waves in th

Soloha48 [4]

The speed of the wave created by Linh in the spring by moving the other end right and left with a frequency of 2 Hz is 1m/s.

<h3>How to calculate speed of a wave?</h3>

The speed of a wave can be calculated by using the following formula:

Speed = Wavelength x Frequency

According to this question, Linh creates waves in the spring by moving the other end right and left with a frequency of 2 Hz. If wave crests are 0.5 m apart, the speed can be calculated as follows:

speed = 2Hz × 0.5m

speed = 1m/s

Therefore, the speed of the wave created by Linh in the spring by moving the other end right and left with a frequency of 2 Hz is 1m/s.

It takes at least 4 people to push a refrigerator up a 10-meter ramp. How many people would be needed to push the same refrigera

vaieri [72.5K]

Double the amount of people because the ramp went from 10-meter to 20-meter, so times by 2. 4 times 2 is 8.
The answer is 8 people.
