Determine the magnitude of the force that must be applied to a wooden block whose weight has a magnitude of 8N, so that it acquires an acceleration of 0.5 m / s²

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.4 N

Explanation:

The weight mg is 8 N, so the mass is:

mg = 8 N

m = 8 N / g

m = 8 N / (10 m/s²)

m = 0.8 kg

The force needed to accelerate it to 0.5 m/s².

F = ma

F = (0.8 kg) (0.5 m/s²)

F = 0.4 N

A 2-kg cart, traveling on a horizontal air track with a speed of 3m/s, collides with a stationary 4-kg cart. The carts stick together. The impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of

Answers

Answer:

The impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first cart, m₁ = 2 kg

initial speed of the first car, u₁ = 3 m/s

mass of the second cart, m₂ = 4 kg

initial speed of the second cart, u₂ = 0

Let the final speed of both carts = v, since they stick together after collision.

Apply the principle of conservation of momentum to determine v

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 3 + 0 = v(2 + 4)

6 = 6v

v = 1 m/s

Impulse is given by;

I = ft = mΔv = m(

The impulse exerted by the first cart on the second cart is given;

I = 2 (3 -1 )

I = 4 N.s

The impulse exerted by the second cart on the first cart is given;

I = 4(0-1)

I = - 4 N.s (equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the impulse exerted by the first).

Therefore, the impulse exerted by one cart on the other has a magnitude of 4 N.s.

The distance covered by a body along the x axis is given by x=2t^3+5t^2+t where t is measured in seconds and x is in meter. Find average speed in a time interval from t= 0s and t=2s

Answers

Explanation:

It is given that,

The distance covered by a body along the x-axis is given by :

[tex]x=2t^3+5t^2+t[/tex]

t is in seconds and x is meters

Speed of the body is given by :

[tex]v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\v=\dfrac{d(2t^3+5t^2+t)}{dt}\\\\v=6t^2+10t+1[/tex]

At t = 0,

[tex]v=6(0)^2+10(0)+1=1\ m/s[/tex]

At t = 2 s,

[tex]v=6(2)^2+10(2)+1=45\ m/s[/tex]

So, the average speed in a time interval from t= 0s and t=2s is 45 m/s.

An archer shoots an arrow in the air, horizontally. However, after moving some
distance, the arrow falls to the ground. Name and define the initial force that sets
the arrow in motion. Explain why the arrow ultimately falls down.​

Answers

Answer:

The name of the force is elastic (spring) force

Explanation:

The elastic force which is the restoration force of an elastic (spring like) object that tries to return to its initial non-stretched state built up by the pulling of the bow by the archer (using the muscles) pushes on the arrow which the archer releases the same time he leaves the bow string, and the arrow flies in the direction already pointed by the archer

The arrow ultimately falls down due to gravity forces that acts on all objects within the Earths gravitational field. However due to the speed of constant horizontal speed of the arrow and increasing downward speed of the due to the gravity force, the falling of the arrow looks disappointing.

write down the reading shown on the instrument above in units of the instrument

Answers

Answer:

The reading of the vernier calliper is 3.93 mm

Explanation:

The given instrument is a micrometer screw gauge that has a main scale reading and a vernier scale reading

The the question, we have;

The individual divisions of the main scale = 0.5 mm

The reading on the main scale = 3.5 mm

The reading on the vernier scale = 43

The accuracy of the vernier caliper = 0.01

Reading on the vernier scale multiplied by the accuracy of the vernier caliper = 43 × 0.01 = 0.43 mm

The reading of the micrometer screw gauge = The reading on the main scale + Reading on the vernier scale multiplied by the accuracy of the vernier caliper

Therefore, the reading of the micrometer screw gauge = 3.5 + 0.43= 3.93 mm

The reading of the vernier calliper = 3.93 mm.

a ferris wheel has a centripetal acceleration equal to 2m/s squared. what is the centripetal force acting on a 45 kg boy riding in one of the cars when the car is on the top of the ferris wheel? what is the force exerted by the seat on the boy when the car is at the top of the ferris wheel

Answers

Explanation:

[tex]centripetal \: force = \frac{m {v}^{2} }{r} [/tex]

Centripetal force = 45 * 2 = 90 N

Therefore, centripetal force acting on a 45 kg boy riding in one of the cars when the car is on the top of the ferris wheel is 90 N.

The force exerted by the seat on the boy when the car is at the top of the ferris wheel is a centrifugal (pseudo force) acting (since the since the seat is in non- inertial frame) in exact opposite direction (Outwards) as the centripetal force and is equal in magnitude.

An 8.0g bullet, moving at 400 m/s, goes through a stationary block of wood in 4.0 x 10^-4s, emerging at a speed of 100 m/s. (a) what average force did the wood exert on the bullet? (b) how thick is the wood?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity (u) of the Bullet = 400 m/sec

Final velocity (v) of the Bullet = 100 m/sec

Bullet passed through the block in (t) = 0.0004 sec  

Using 1st Equation of motion :

400 m/s = 100 m/s - a (0.0004)

Deceleration of Bullet = 750,000 m/sec^2

(a) F (force exerted by the wooden block on the bullet) = F (force exerted by the bullet on the wooden block)

F = m * a = 0.008 * 750,000 = 6000 N

(b) Using 3rd Equation of motion :

[tex]v^{2} = u^{2} - 2aS[/tex]

10000 = 160000 - 2 * 750,000 * S

Thickness of wood (S) = 0.1 m

A container contains 200g of water at initial temperature of 30°C. An iron nail of mass 200g at temperature of 50°C is immersed in the water. What is the final water temperature? State the assumptions you need to make in your calculations.
[Given the value of specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J kg^-1 °C^-1 and that of iron is
450 J kg^-1 °C^-1]​

Answers

Answer:

The final temperature is 31.94°

Explanation:

The mass of the water in the container m₁ = 200 g = 0.2 kg

The initial temperature of the water,  T₁₁ = 30°C

The mass of the iron, m₂ = 200 g = 0.2 kg

The temperature of the iron T₂₁= 50°C is immersed in the water,

The specific heat capacity of the water, c₁ = 4200 J/(kg·°C)

The specific heat capacity of the iron, c₂ = 450 J/(kg·°C)

Heat capacity relation is given by the formula;

Heat capacity Q = Mass, m × Specific heat capacity, c × Temperature change, (T₂ - T₁)

Given that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, and with the assumption that all the heat lost by the nail is gained by the water we have;

Heat lost by iron nail = Heat gained by the  water

m₁ × c₁ × (T₂ - T₁₁) = m₂ × c₂ × (T₂₁ - T₂)

Where, T₂ is the final temperature

0.2 kg × 4200 J/(kg·°C) × (T₂ - 30) = 0.2 kg × 450 J/(kg·°C) × (50° - T₂)

840·T₂ - 25200 = 4500 - 90·T₂

4500 + 25200 = 840·T₂ + 90·T₂

29700 = 930·T₂

T₂ = 29700/930 = 31.94°.

The final temperature = 31.94°.

Bus starts from rest if the acceleration of the bus is 0.5 MS squared what will be the velocity at the end of two minutes and what distance will it cover during that time

Answers

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bus, u = 0

Acceleration of the bus, a = 0.5 m/s²

Let v is the velocity at the end of 2 minutes. The change in velocity divided by time equals acceleration.

So,

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\v=u+at\\\\v=0+0.5\times 120\\\\v=60\ m/s[/tex]

Let d is the distance cover during that time. So,

[tex]v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{(60)^2}{2\times 0.5}\\\\d=3600\ m[/tex]

So, the final speed is 60 m/s and the distance covered during that time is 3600 m.

Brandon buys a new seadoo he goes 12 km north from the beach he jumps wakes for 6 km to the east the chases a boat 10 km north what distance did he cover what was his displacement

Answers

Answer:

Distance covered 28 km

displacement is 22.8 km North-East

Explanation:

Distance shows how far apart objects or points are from each other. The distance he covered is the sum of all the distance travelled. Therefore:

Distance covered = 12 km + 6 km + 10 km = 28 km

Displacement is a vector quantity (has direction). It is the overall change in position.

The total distance traveled north = 12 km + 10 km = 22 km

The distance traveled east = 6 km

The displacement (d) is:

d² = 22² + 6² = 484 + 36

d² = 520

d = √520 = 22.8 km

Therefore the displacement is 22.8 km North-East

Distance covered 28 km

displacement is 22.8 km North-East

The calculation is as follows:

Distance covered

= 12 km + 6 km + 10 km

= 28 km

Now

The total distance traveled north = 12 km + 10 km = 22 km

And,  

The distance traveled east = 6 km

So,  

The displacement (d) is:

[tex]d^2 = 22^2 + 6^2\\\\ d^2 = 520\\\\d = \sqrt520[/tex]

= 22.8 km

Answers

Explanation:

Assuming the 10 m distance is the vertical displacement, the work done by both people is the same.

Work = force × distance

W = (250 N) (10 m)
