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.
(a) Determine the horizontal component of the worker's push.
(b) Write a net force equation for the horizontal forces on the box.
1 answer:
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

Answer:
The peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A
Explanation:
Given;
distance of the field from the axon, r = 1.3 mm
peak magnetic field strength, B = 9 x 10⁻¹² T
To determine the peak current carried by the axon, apply the following equation;
where;
B is the peak magnetic field
r is the distance of the magnetic field from axon
μ is permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷
I is the peak current
Re-arrange the equation and solve for "I"
Therefore, the peak current carried by the axon is 5.85 x 10⁻⁸ A
Answer:
18.5 m/s
Explanation:
On a horizontal curve, the frictional force provides the centripetal force that keeps the car in circular motion:
where
is the coefficient of static friction between the tires and the road
m is the mass of the car
g is the gravitational acceleration
v is the speed of the car
r is the radius of the curve
Re-arranging the equation,
And by substituting the data of the problem, we find the speed at which the car begins to skid:
<h2>Complete Question:</h2>
You are on an aluminum ladder that is standing on the ground, trying to fix an electrical connection with a metal screwdriver having a metal handle. Your body is wet because you are sweating from the exertion; therefore, it has a resistance of 1.60 kΩ .
(a) If you accidentally touch the "hot" wire connected to the 120 V line, how much current will pass through your body?
(b) How much electrical power is delivered to your body?
<h2>Answer:</h2>(a) 0.075A
(b) 9W
<h2>Explanation:</h2>The voltage (V) passing across or supplied to a body is directly proportional to the current (I) flowing through the body as stated by Ohm's law. i.e
V ∝ I
=> V = I x R ----------------------(i)
Where;
R = constant of proportionality called resistance of the body
(a) As stated in the question;
The body is wet and thus will conduct electricity and has the following;
V = voltage supplied = 120V
R = resistance of the wet body = 1.60kΩ = 1.6 x 1000Ω = 1600Ω
Substitute these values into equation(i) as follows;
120 = I x 1600
Solve for I;
I =
I = 0.075A
Therefore the amount of current that will pass through your body is 0.075A
(b) Electrical power(P), which is commonly measured in Watts(W), delivered to a body is the product of the current(I) and voltage (V) supplied to the body. i.e
P = I x V ---------------------(ii)
Where;
I = 0.075A [as calculated above]
V = 120V [given in the question]
Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;
P = 0.075 x 120
P = 9W
Therefore, the electric power delivered to your body is 9W
