Answer:

Net force on the block is 32 N.

Acceleration of the object is 6.4 m/s².

Explanation:

Let the acceleration of the object be a m/s².

Given:

Mass of the block is, m=5\ kg

Force of pull is, F=40\ N

Frictional force on the block is, f=8\ N

The free body diagram of the object is shown below.

From the figure, the net force in the forward direction is given as:

F_{net}=F-f=40-8=32\ N

Now, from Newton's second law of motion, net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,

F_{net}=ma\\32=5a\\a=\frac{32}{5}=6.4\ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the object in the forward direction is 6.4 m/s².

Given:
rod of circular cross section is subjected to uniaxial tension.
Length, L=1500 mm
radius, r = 10 mm
E=2*10^5 N/mm^2

Two flat 4.0 cm × 4.0 cm electrodes carrying equal but opposite charges are spaced 2.0 mm apart with their midpoints opposite ea
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

1.77 x 10^-8 C

Explanation:

Let the surface charge density of each of the plate is σ.

A = 4 x 4 = 16 cm^2 = 16 x 10^-4 m^2

d = 2 mm

E = 2.5 x 10^6 N/C

ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2

Electric filed between the plates (two oppositively charged)

E = σ / ε0

σ = ε0 x E

σ = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 2.5 x 10^6 = 22.125 x 10^-6 C/m^2

The surface charge density of each plate is ± σ / 2

So, the surface charge density on each = ± 22.125 x 10^-6 / 2

                                                                 = ± 11.0625 x 10^-6 C/m^2  

Charge on each plate = Surface charge density on each plate x area of each plate

Charge on each plate = ± 11.0625 x 10^-6  x 16 x 10^-4 = ± 1.77 x 10^-8 C

answers Collision derivation problem. If the car has a mass of 0.2 kg, the ratio of height to width of the ramp is 12/75, the in
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

4.8967m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

M = 0.2kg

∆p = 0.58kgm/s

S(i) = 2.25m

Ratio h/w = 12/75

Firstly, we use conservation of momentum to find the velocity

Therefore, ∆p = MV

0.58kgm/s = 0.2V

V = 0.58/2

V = 2.9m/s

Then, we can use the conservation of energy to solve for maximum height the car can go

E(i) = E(f)

1/2mV² = mgh

Mass cancels out

1/2V² = gh

h = 1/2V²/g = V²/2g

h = (2.9)²/2(9.8)

h = 8.41/19.6 = 0.429m

Since we have gotten the heigh, the next thing is to solve for actual slant of the ramp and initial displacement using similar triangles.

h/w = 0.429/x

X = 0.429×75/12

X = 2.6815

Therefore, by Pythagoreans rule

S(ramp) = √2.68125²+0.429²

S(ramp) = 2.64671

Finally, S(t) = S(ramp) + S(i)

= 2.64671+2.25

= 4.8967m

A 6.0 kg box slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 39° with the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic frictio
dlinn [17]

Answer:

a = 4.72 m/s²  

Explanation:

given,

mass of the box (m)= 6 Kg

angle of inclination (θ) = 39°

coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.19

magnitude of acceleration = ?

box is sliding downward so,

F - f = m a                        

f is the friction force

m g sinθ - μ N = ma                        

m g sinθ - μ m g cos θ = ma            

a = g sinθ - μ g cos θ                    

a = 9.8 x sin 39° - 0.19 x 9.8 x cos 39°

a = 4.72 m/s²                                      

the magnitude of acceleration of the box down the slope is a = 4.72 m/s²

Suppose 1 kg of Hydrogen is converted into Helium. a) What is the mass of the He produced? b) How much energy is released in thi
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a) m = 993 g

b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

Explanation:

atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794

4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176

we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602

difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158

fraction of mass lost = \dfrac{0.029158}{4.03176}= 0.00723

loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23

a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)

b) energy released in the process

E = m c²

E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²

E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J
