The net force is the sum of all the forces acted upon an object. The direction of force depends on which side you are taking as a positive and negative force. If the force of 22 newtons is positive and the force of 13 newtons is negative, they are actng on the object on different directions, thus in order to get the net force, we just sum them up.
net force = 22 + (-13) \\ net force = 22-13 \\ net force= +9 newtons

The net force is +9 Newtons.

Net force=sum of forces. Lets take the Force acting from right side_as positive. And the Force acting from left side_as negative. We took the opposite sides because the both forces are acting in opposite directions. There will be no problem,if for differentiating,I call the positive force_F1 and the negative one_F2...right? So, Net force=F1+F2. F2 is opposite as compared to F1 in direction. So Net force=F1+(-F2). Putting values; Net force=22-13=9 N. 9 N is the magnitude of Force. If your question means that this net force acts whether to the right side or left,then it acts towards the right side as it has also come out to be positive 9N not -9N which indicates it is parallel to the Force vector acting rightward.

When a gas is rapidly compressed (say, by pushing down a piston) its temperature increases. When a gas expands against a piston,
shusha [124]

Answer:

Explained in explanation

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system(ΔU) is equal to the sum of the net heat transfer into the system(Q) and the net work done on the system(W). In equation, this law is;

ΔU = Q + W

Now, when there's gas inside a container with a movable piston that's tightly fitting, we will assume that the piston can move up and down thereby compressing the gas or allowing the gas to expand against it.

Now these gas molecules inside the container possess kinetic energy. Thus, the internal energy(U) of the system is simply the sum of all the kinetic energies of the individual gas molecules present in the container.

Therefore, if the temperature(T) of the gas increases, then the speed and internal energy(U) of the gas molecules will also increase. In the same way, if the temperature of the gas decreases, the speed and internal energy of the gas molecules would also decrease.

Now, back to the question, when the piston is pushed down, it does work on the gas and the gas does negative work on the piston. Thus, the gas will be get compressed to a smaller space, and thereby making the gas molecules to hit the piston at a faster rate. Thus, there is a decrease in speed and as we saw earlier that when there is a decrease in speed, it means temperature has decreased.

Whereas, when the piston is moved up, the gas does positive work on the piston and the speed of the gas molecules will increase. Like I said earlier that increase in speed means increase in temperature.

A 128.0-N carton is pulled up a frictionless baggage ramp inclined at 30.0∘above the horizontal by a rope exerting a 72.0-N pull
Elden [556K]

Answer:

(A) 374.4 J

(B) -332.8 J

(C) 0 J

(D) 41.6 J

(E)  351.8 J

Explanation:

weight of carton (w) = 128 N

angle of inclination (θ) = 30 degrees

force (f) = 72 N

distance (s) = 5.2 m

(A) calculate the work done by the rope

  • work done = force x distance x cos θ
  • since the rope is parallel to the ramp the angle between the rope and

        the ramp θ will be 0

       work done = 72 x 5.2 x cos 0

       work done by the rope = 374.4 J

(B) calculate the work done by gravity

  • the work done by gravity = weight of carton x distance x cos θ
  • The weight of the carton = force exerted by the mass of the carton = m x g
  • the angle between the force exerted by the weight of the carton and the ramp is 120 degrees.

      work done by gravity = 128 x 5.2  x cos 120

      work done by gravity = -332.8 J

(C) find the work done by the normal force acting on the ramp

  • work done by the normal force = force x distance x cos θ
  • the angle between the normal force and the ramp is 90 degrees

       

         work done by the normal force = Fn x distance x cos θ

         work done by the normal force = Fn x 5.2 x cos 90

         work done by the normal force = Fn x 5.2 x 0

         work done by the normal force = 0 J

(D)  what is the net work done ?

  • The net work done is the addition of the work done by the rope,       gravitational force and the normal force

     net work done = 374.4 - 332.8 + 0 =  41.6 J  

(E) what is the work done by the rope when it is inclined at 50 degrees to the horizontal

  • work done by the rope= force x distance x cos θ
  • the angle of inclination will be 50 - 30 = 20 degrees, this is because the ramp is inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal and the rope is inclined at 50 degrees to the horizontal and it is the angle of inclination of the rope with respect to the ramp we require to get the work done by the rope in pulling the carton on the ramp

work done = 72 x 5.2 x cos 20

work done = 351.8 J

If the magnitude of charges on these source charges is arranged in a descending order, which is the correct sequence?
bonufazy [111]
The source charges' magnitude is signified by the arrows pointing outward. The more arrows there are, the greater is its magnitude. This is because, each arrow represents an electrical force exerted by the source. When you add up all the arrows there is, the electrical force becomes even greater. The answer in descending order would be C > A > B > D.

A block of mass m is pushed up against a spring with spring constant k until the spring has been compressed a distance x from eq
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Spring is compressed to a distance of x from its equilibrium position

Work done by block on the spring is equal to change in elastic potential energy

i.e. Work done by block W=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

therefore spring will also done an equal opposite amount of work on the block in the absence of external force

Thus work done by spring on the block W=-\frac{1}{2}kx^2

Thus option d is correct

A charge Q is placed on the x axis at x = +4.0 m. A second charge q is located at the origin. If Q = +75 nC and q = −8.0 nC, wha
Stells [14]

Answer:

23.1 N/C

Explanation:

OP = 3 m , OQ = 4 m

PQ = \sqrt{4^{2}+3^{2}}=5 m

q = - 8 nC, Q = 75 nC

Electric field at P due to the charge Q is

E_{1}=\frac{KQ}{PQ^{2}}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 75\times 10^{-9}}{25}=27 N/C

Electric field at P due to the charge q is

E_{2}=\frac{Kq}{PO^{2}}=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 8\times 10^{-9}}{9}=8 N/C

According to the diagram, tanθ = 3/4

Resolve the components of E1 along x axis and along y axis.

So, Electric field along X axis, Ex = - E1 Cos θ

Ex = - 27 x 4 / 5 = - 21.6 N/C

Electric field along y axis, Ey = E1 Sinθ - E2

Ey = 27 x 3 /5 - 8 = 8.2 N/C

The resultant electric field at P is given by

E=\sqrt{E_{x}^{2}+E_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(-21.6)^{2}+(8.2)^{2}}=23.1 N/C
