A packing crate rests on a horizontal surface. It is acted on by three horizontal forces: 600 N to the left, 200 N to the right,

and friction. The weight of the crate is 400 N. If the 600-N force is removed, the resultant force acting on the block is?
zero.

Answer:

The resultant force would (still) be zero.

Explanation:

Before the 600-N force is removed, the crate is not moving (relative to the surface.) Its velocity would be zero. Since its velocity isn't changing, its acceleration would also be zero.

In effect, the 600-N force to the left and 200-N force to the right combines and acts like a 400-N force to the left.

By Newton's Second Law, the resultant force on the crate would be zero. As a result, friction (the only other horizontal force on the crate) should balance that 400-N force. In this case, the friction should act in the opposite direction with a size of 400 N.

When the 600-N force is removed, there would only be two horizontal forces on the crate: the 200-N force to the right, and friction. The maximum friction possible must be at least 200 N such that the resultant force would still be zero. In this case, the static friction coefficient isn't known. As a result, it won't be possible to find the exact value of the maximum friction on the crate.

However, recall that before the 600-N force is removed, the friction on the crate is 400 N. The normal force on the crate (which is in the vertical direction) did not change. As a result, one can hence be assured that the maximum friction would be at least 400 N. That's sufficient for balancing the 200-N force to the right. Hence, the resultant force on the crate would still be zero, and the crate won't move.

exis [7]
The question for this problem would be the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise.
The 200 Hz. period = (1/200) = 0.005 sec. It will need to be delayed by 1/2, so 0.005/2, that is = 0.0025 sec. So converting sec to ms, will give us the delay of:Delay = 2.5 ms.

Two objects are placed in thermal contact and are allowed to come to equilibrium in isolation. the heat capacity of object a is
Harman [31]
Given:
Ca = 3Cb                      (1)
where
Ca =  heat capacity of object A
Cb =  heat capacity f object B

Also,
Ta = 2Tb                     (2)
where
Ta = initial temperature of object A
Tb = initial temperature of object B.

Let
Tf =  final equilibrium temperature of both objects,
Ma = mass of object A,
Mb = mass of object B.

Assuming that all heat exchange occurs exclusively between the two objects, then energy balance requires that
Ma*Ca*(Ta - Tf) = Mb*Cb*(Tf - Tb)           (3)

Substitute (1) and (2) into (3).
Ma*(3Cb)*(2Tb - Tf) = Mb*Cb*(Tf - Tb)
3(Ma/Mb)*(2Tb - Tf) = Tf - Tb

Define k = Ma/Mb, the ratio f the masses.
Then
3k(2Tb - Tf) = Tf - Tb
Tf(1+3k) = Tb(1+6k)
Tf = [(1+6k)/(1+3k)]*Tb

Answer:
T_{f} =( \frac{1+6k}{1+3k} )T_{b}= \frac{1}{2}( \frac{1+6k}{1+3k})T_{a}
where
k= \frac{M_{a}}{M_{b}}

The δe of a system that releases 12.4 j of heat and does 4.2 j of work on the surroundings is __________ j.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The answer for this problem is clarified through this, the system is absorbing (+). And now see that it uses that the SURROUNDINGS are doing 84 KJ of work. Any time a system is overshadowing work done on it by the surroundings the sign will be +. So it's just 12.4 KJ + 4.2 = 16.6 KJ.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

294J

Explanation:

The work done by gravity is independent of the horizontal distance. It is only dependent on the vertical height of 15m above its initial position.

The work done against gravity is given by

W=mgh....................(1)

Given;

m = 2.0kg

g=9.8m/s^2

Hence;

W = 2.0*9.8*15\\W=294J
