AI Thread Summary
To achieve zero net work done by the force P and the kinetic frictional force on a 109-kg crate, the magnitude of P must counteract the frictional force while considering the angle of application. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.260, which affects the normal force and, consequently, the frictional force. The work done by force P over a horizontal distance d must equal the work done against kinetic friction. Calculating the normal force involves adjusting for the vertical component of P due to its angle of application. Ultimately, the correct magnitude of P ensures that the total work done is balanced, resulting in no net work.

A 109-kg crate is being pushed across a horizontal floor by a force P that makes an angle of 38.3 ° below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.260. What should be the magnitude of P, so that the net work done by it and the kinetic frictional force is zero?

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
