A50.0-n box is sliding on a rough horizontal floor, and the only horizontal force acting on it is friction. you observe that at one instant the box is sliding to the right at and that it stops in 2.25 s with uniform acceleration. what magnitude force does friction exert on this box

Two thin 80.0- cm rods are oriented at right angles to each other. each rod has one end at the origin of the coordinates, and one of them extends along the x- axis while the other extends along the yaxis. the rod along the x- axis carries a charge of - 15.0 μ c distributed uniformly along its length, and the other rod carries 15.0 μ c uniformly over its length. find the magnitude and direction of the net electrical force that these two rods exert on an electron located at the point (40.0 cm, 40.0 cm).

Acoal-fired plant generates 600 mw of electric power. the plant uses 4.8 x 10^6 kg of coal each day, and the heat of combustion of coal is 3.3x 10^7 j/kg. the steam that drives the turbines is at a temperature of 300° c, and the exhaust water is at 37° c. (a) what is the overall efficiency of the plant for generating electric power? (b) how much thermal energy is exhausted each day? (c) what is the change in entropy of the universe for this heat engine? (d) using the same heat reservoirs, what is the maximum possible (carnot) efficiency for a heat engine?
