A woman is straining to lift a large crate, without success because it is too heavy. We denote the forces on the crate as follow
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Force P is acting upward

C is vertical contact Force

W is the weight of the crate

As P is unable to move the Block therefore Normal reaction keeps on acting on block

thus we can say that

P-W+C=0

P=W-C

You may have noticed runaway truck lanes while driving in the mountains. These gravel-filled lanes are designed to stop trucks t
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The  coefficient of kinetic friction  \mu_k =  0.724

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  length of the lane is  l =  36.0 \  m

    The speed of the truck is  v  =  22.6\  m/s

     

Generally from the work-energy theorem we have that  

    \Delta KE  =   N  *  \mu_k *  l

Here N  is the normal force acting on the truck which is mathematically represented as

     \Delta KE is the change in kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

        \Delta KE =  \frac{1}{2} *  m *  v^2

=>     \Delta KE =  0.5  *  m *  22.6^2

=>      \Delta KE =  255.38m

        255.38m =    m *  9.8  *  \mu_k *   36.0

=>     255.38  =    352.8  *  \mu_k

=>   \mu_k =  0.724

The magnetic field around the head has been measured to be approximately 3.00×10−8 gauss . Although the currents that cause this
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A

Explanation:

B = Magnetic field = 3\times 10^{-8}\ G

d = Diameter of loop = 16 cm

r = Radius = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{16}{2}=8\ cm

i = Current

\mu_0 = Vacuum permeability = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ H/m

The magnetic field of a loop is given by

B=\frac{\mu_0i}{2r}\\\Rightarrow i=\frac{B2r}{\mu_0}\\\Rightarrow i=\frac{3\times 10^{-8}\times 10^{-4}\times 2\times 0.08}{4\pi\times 10^{-7}}\\\Rightarrow i=3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A

The current needed to produce such a field at the center of the loop is 3.81972\times 10^{-7}\ A

Students use a stretched elastic band to launch carts of known mass horizontally on a track. The elastic bands exert a force F,
rodikova [14]

Answer:

the correct answer is  E

A graph of the cart's maximum speed squared as a function of x^3

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

        F = m a

force has the form

        F = k x²

and acceleration is related to velocity

        a = dv / dt

Let's use the chain rule or L'Hospital

        a = dv /dx   dx/dt

        a = dv /dx    v

let's substitute

     k x² = m v dv / dx

     k /m x² dx = v dv

we integrate

     k /m    x³ /3 = v² / 2

     v² = (2k /3m)   x³

This is the expression for the variation of the speed as a function of the position, to make a linear graph realism the changes of variable

      y = v²

     x´ = x³

       y = (2k/3m)  x´

if we graph y vs x 'we have a linear graph whose slope is

      m = 2k / 3m

By reviewing the different answers, the correct answer is  E

A hot (70°C) lump of metal has a mass of 250 g and a specific heat of 0.25 cal/g⋅°C. John drops the metal into a 500-g calorimet
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

d. 37 °C

Explanation:

m_{m} = mass of lump of metal = 250 g

c_{m} = specific heat of lump of metal  = 0.25 cal/g°C

T_{mi} = Initial temperature of lump of metal = 70 °C

m_{w} = mass of water = 75 g

c_{w} = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g°C

T_{wi} = Initial temperature of water = 20 °C

m_{c} = mass of calorimeter  = 500 g

c_{c} = specific heat of calorimeter = 0.10 cal/g°C

T_{ci} = Initial temperature of calorimeter = 20 °C

T_{f} = Final equilibrium temperature

Using conservation of heat

Heat lost by lump of metal = heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter

m_{m} c_{m} (T_{mi} - T_{f}) = m_{w} c_{w} (T_{f} - T_{wi}) +  m_{c} c_{c} (T_{f} - T_{ci}) \\(250) (0.25) (70 - T_{f} ) = (75) (1) (T_{f} - 20) + (500) (0.10) (T_{f} - 20)\\T_{f} = 37 C
