A worker pushes a 7 kg shipping box along a roller track. Assume friction is small enough to be ignored because of the rollers.

The worker's push is 25 N directed down and to the right at an angle of 20°.
(a) Determine the horizontal component of the worker's push.
(b) Write a net force equation for the horizontal forces on the box.

Answer:

a) Fₓ = 23.5 N

b) Net force = Fₓ

Explanation:

An image of the question as described is attached to this solution.

From the image attached, the forces acting on the box include the weight of the box, the normal reaction of the surface on the box, the applied force on the box and the Frictional force opposing the motion of the box (which is negligible and equal to 0)

a) From the diagram, the horizontal component of the force is

Fₓ = 25 cos 20° = 23.49 N = 25 N

b) Again, from the diagram attached, doing a force balance on the box, in the horizontal direction, we obtain

Net force = Fₓ - Frictional force

But frictional force is 0 N

Net force = Fₓ

Hope this Helps!!!

<span>As it is descended from a vertical height h, The lost Potential Energy = Mgh The gained Kenetic Energy = (1/2)Mv^2; The rotational KE = (1/2)Jw^2 The angular speed w = speed/ Radius = v/R So Rotational KE = (1/2)Jw^2 = (1/2)J(v/R)^2; J is moment of inertia Now Mgh = (1/2)Mv^2 + (1/2)J(v/R)^2 => 2gh/v^2 = 1 + (J/MR^2) As v = (5gh/4)^1/2, (J/MR^2) = 2gh/v^2 - 1 => (J/MR^2) = (8gh/5gh) - 1 so (J/MR^2) = 3/5 and therefore J = (3/5)MR^2.</span>

A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of +29.4 for 3.98 s. it runs out of fuel at the end of the 3.98 s
topjm [15]
U = 0, initial upward speed
a = 29.4 m/s², acceleration up to 3.98 s
a = -9.8 m/s², acceleration after 3.98s

Let h₁ =  the height at time t, for t ≤ 3.98 s
Let h₂ =  the height at time t > 3.98 s

Motion for  t ≤ 3.98 s:
h₁ = (1/2)*(29.4 m/s²)*(3.98 s)² = 232.854 m
Calculate the upward velocity at t = 3.98 s
v₁ = (29.4 m/s²)*(3.98 s) = 117.012 m/s

Motion for t  > 3.98 s
At maximum height, the upward velocity is zero.
Calculate the extra distance traveled before the velocity is zero.
(117.012 m/s)² + 2*(-9.8 m/s²)*(h₂ m) = 0
h₂ = 698.562 m

The total height is
h₁ + h₂ = 232.854 + 698.562 = 931.416 m

Answer: 931.4 m (nearest tenth)

A square conducting loop 8.4 cm on a side is placed in a uniform B-field so that the plane of the loop is perpendicular to the d
arsen [322]

Answer:

Explanation:

area of square loop A = side²

= 8.4² x 10⁻⁴

A = 70.56 x 10⁻⁴ m²

when it is converted into rectangle , length = 14.7  , width = 2.1

area = length x width

= 14.7 x 2.1 x 10⁻⁴

= 30.87 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Let magnetic field be B

Change in flux = magnetic field x change in area

= B x ( 70.56 x 10⁻⁴ - 30.87 x 10⁻⁴ )

= 39.69 x 10⁻⁴ B

rate of change of flux = change in flux / time taken

= 39.69 x 10⁻⁴ B  / 6.5 x 10⁻³

= 6.1 x 10⁻¹ B

emf induced = 6.1 x 10⁻¹ B

6.1 x 10⁻¹ B  = 14.7 ( given )

B = 2.41 x 10

= 24.1 T

B ) magnetic flux is decreasing , so it needs to be increased as per Lenz's law . Hence current induced will be anticlockwise so that additional  magnetic flux is induced out of the page.

An astronomy student, for her PhD, really needs to estimate the age of a cluster of stars. Which of the following would be part
LiRa [457]

Answer:

A. plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster.

Explanation:

A star cluster can be defined as a constellation of stars, due to gravitational force, which has the same origin.

The astronomy student would have to plot an H-R diagram for the stars in the cluster and determine the age of the cluster by observing the turn-off point. The turn-off is majorly as a result of gradual depletion of the source of energy of the star. Thus, it projects off the constellation.
