A constant unbalanced force is applied to an object for a period of time. What will happen to the objects acceleration?

a. It will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
b. It will accelerate opposite the direction net force.
c. There is no acceleration.
d. Not enough information to answer

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The moving object will accelerate as long as a net force is applied. If a net force is not applied, the object will continue to move at a constant speed along the same path in curved spacetime (due to gravity). If the net force continues the velocity of the object will continue to increase until nearly reaching the limit (speed of light).

A HIGH SPEED TRAIN IS 180M LONG AND IT IS TRAVELLING AT 50M/S.HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO PASS A PERSON STANDING AT A LEVEL CROSSING?



B-HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO PASS COMPLETELY THROUGH A STATION WHOSE PLATFORMS ARE 220M IN LENGTH?

Answers

Answer:

a. Time = 3.6 seconds

b. Time = 4.4 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 180 m

Speed = 50 m/s

a. To find the time;

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

[tex]Speed = \frac{distance}{time}[/tex]

Making time the subject of formula, we have;

[tex]Time = \frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex]Time = \frac{180}{50}[/tex]

Time = 3.6 seconds

b. Distance = 220 meters

Speed = 50 m/s

To find the time;

[tex]Time = \frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex]Time = \frac{220}{50}[/tex]

Time = 4.4 seconds

the ratio of the energy per second radiated by the filament of a lamp at 250k to that radiated at 2000k, assuming the filament is a blackbody radiator? The filament of a particular electric lamp can be considered as a 90%blackbody radiator. calculate the energy per second radiated when its temperature is 2000k if its surface area is 10∧-6 m²

Answers

Answer:

(a) [tex]\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}[/tex]

(b) P =  0.816 Watt

Explanation:

(a)

The power radiated from a black body is given by Stefan Boltzman Law:

[tex]P = \sigma AT^4[/tex]

where,

P = Energy Radiated per Second = ?

σ = stefan boltzman constant = 5.67 x 10⁻⁸ W/m².K⁴

T = Absolute Temperature

So the ratio of power at 250 K to the power at 2000 K is given as:

[tex]\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=\frac{\sigma A(250)^4}{\sigma A(2000)^4}\\\\\frac{P_{250k}}{P_{2000k}}=2.4\ x\ 10^{-4}[/tex]

(b)

Now, for 90% radiator blackbody at 2000 K:

[tex]P = (0.9)(5.67\ x\ 10^{-8}\ W/m^2.K^4)(1\ x\ 10^{-6}\ m^2)(2000\ K)^4[/tex]

P =  0.816 Watt

A cheetah runs at a speed of 27.6 m/s. If the
cheetah runs for 9.30 s, what is the distance the
cheetah runs? Show all your work.

Answers

Answer:

256.68m

Explanation:

that is the procedure above

A cheetah runs at a speed of 27.6 m/s. If the cheetah runs for 9.30 s, then the distance covered by the cheetah would be 256.68 metes

What is speed?

The total distance covered by any object per unit of time is known as speed. It depends only on the magnitude of the moving object. The unit of speed is meter/second. The generally considered unit for speed is a meter per second.

The mathematical expression for speed is given by

speed = distance /Total time

As given in the problem A cheetah runs at a speed of 27.6 m/s. If the cheetah runs for 9.30 s, we have to calculate the distance covered by the cheetah

Distance=?

speed=27.6 m/s

time= 9.30 s

speed = distance /Total time

27.6 m/s = Distance /9.30 s

Distance = 27.6×9.30

               =256.68 metes

Thus, the distance covered by the cheetah would be 256.68 metes

Find the emitted power per square meter and wavelength of peak intensity for a 3000 K object that emits thermal radiation.

Answers

Answer:

power per square meter = 4.593 × 10^(6) W/m²

Wavelength of peak intensity = 9.67 × 10^(-7) m

Explanation:

From Stefan-Boltzmann law, total emitted power per square meter is given as;

P/A = eσT⁴

where;

P is power

A is surface area

σ = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.67 × 10^(-8) W/m².k⁴

T = temperature of the body = 3000 K

e = emissivity of the substance (for ideal radiation, it has a value = 1)

Thus, Plugging in the relevant values we have;

P/A = 1 × 5.67 × 10^(-8) × (3000)^(4)

P/A = 4.593 × 10^(6) W/m²

Let's find the wavelength of peak intensity.

From wiens displacement law, we know that;

λ_m × T = b

where;

λ_m = maximum wavelength

T = Temperature

b is Wien's displacement constant = 2.9 × 10^(−3) m/K

thus;

λ_m = b/T = (2.9 × 10^(−3))/3000 = 9.67 × 10^(-7) m

b) A stone floor feels very cold to bare feet in winter, but a carpet in
the same room feels comfortably warm. Why is this?

Answers

Answer:

A stone floor feels very cold to bare feet in winter, but a carpet in the same room feels comfortably warm.This is because both the floor and the carpet have the same temperature as both are exposed to the same atmosphere. But the former conducts away the heat from the feet better than the carpet as the latter is a non-conductor. So the feet losing more heat, the floor appears cooler to the feet

Explanation:

Hope it may help you!!

Both actually have same temperature. Our feet are warm. Floor is conductor of heat while carpet is not. When we walk on floor, then floor takes away or conducts the heat from our feet, so we feel cold. While carpet doesn't do that, so we feel warm.

Object A has twice the mass of object B. Both objects are moving at the same speed. Which accurately describes how inertia relates to Newton’s second law of motion in this example? Object A has twice the mass of object B. Both objects are moving at the same speed.

A. Object A requires twice the force to stop as Object B.

B. Object A requires one-and-a-half times the force to stop as Object B.

C. Object A requires four times the force to stop as Object B.

Answers

Answer:

A. Object A requires twice the force to stop as Object B.

Explanation:

Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

[tex] Acceleration = \frac {Net \; force}{mass} [/tex]

Let's assume the following values;

Mass of object B = 10 kg

Mass of object A = 2 * B = 2 * 10 = 20 kg

Acceleration = 5 m/s²

I. To find the force for B;

[tex] Force = mass * acceleration [/tex]

[tex] Force = 10 * 5 [/tex]

Force B = 50 Newton

II. To find the force for A;

[tex] Force = mass * acceleration [/tex]

[tex] Force = 20 * 5 [/tex]

Force A = 100 Newton

From the calculation, we can deduce that Force A (100 N) is twice or double the value of Force B (50 N).

In conclusion, since object A has twice the mass of object B and both objects are moving at the same speed, object A would require twice the force to stop as Object B.

A train starts from rest and leaves Greenburg station with an acceleration of 1.20 meters per second2. How long does it take the train to travel a distance of 500 meters?

Answers

Answer:

Time, t = 28.87 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Acceleration = 1.20 m/s²

Distance = 500 meters

Initial velocity = 0 m/s

To find the time to cover the distance, we would use the second equation of motion;

[tex] S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]

Where;

S represents the displacement or height measured in meters.

u represents the initial velocity measured in meters per seconds.

t represents the time measured in seconds.

a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] 500 = 0*t + \frac {1}{2}*(1.2)*t^{2}[/tex]

[tex] 500 = 0 + 0.6*t^{2} [/tex]

[tex] 500 = 0.6t^{2} [/tex]

[tex] t^{2} = \frac {500}{0.6} [/tex]

[tex] t^{2} = 833.33 [/tex]

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

[tex] t = \sqrt{833.33} [/tex]

Time, t = 28.87 seconds

Explanation:

1. The distance the wheelbarrow is tilted, d = 0.5 m

The force used to tilt the wheelbarrow, F = 50 N

The work done, W = F × d

∴ W = 50 N × 0.5 m = 25 J

2. Work done, W = Force × Distance

The applied force, F = 50 N

The distance the sand is moved, d = 5 m

∴ W = 50 N × 5 m = 250 J

3. The work done, W = The load lifted × The height to which the load is lifted

∴ W = 90,000 N × 10 m = 900,000 J

The work done, W = 900,000 J

4. The work output of the skateboard = The work input × Efficiency

Given that the skateboard is an ideal machine, we have;

The work output of the skateboard = The work input = W

W = F × d

F = 15 N, d = 500 m

∴ W = 15 N × 500 m = 7,500 J

The work output of the skateboard = W = 7,500 J.
