A 6 kg object accelerates from 5 m•s to 25 m•s in 30 seconds. What was the net force acting on the
object? Give your answer in Newtons to one significant figure and without a unit.
(Show Work)
Answer:
6N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of object = 6kg
Initial velocity = 5m/s
Final velocity = 25m/s
Time = 30s
Unknown:
Net force acting on the object = ?
Solution:
From Newton's second law of motion:
Force = mass x acceleration
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time
Acceleration = [tex]\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{time}[/tex]
Force = mass x [tex]\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{time}[/tex]
So;
Force = 6 x [tex]\frac{25 - 5}{30}[/tex] = 6N

On a low-friction track, a 0.66-kg cart initially going at 1.85 m/s to the right collides with a cart of unknown inertia initially going at 2.17 m/s to the left. After the collision, the 0.66-kg cart is going at 1.32 m/s to the left, and the cart of unknown inertia is going at 3.22 m/s to the right. The collision takes 0.010 s.
What is the unknown inertia?
What is the average acceleration of the heavier cart?
What is the average acceleration of the lighter cart?
Answer:
(a) the unknown inertia is 0.388 kg
(b) the average acceleration of the heavier cart is 317 m/s²
(c) the average acceleration of the lighter cart is 539 m/s²
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the first cart, m₁ = 0.66 kg
initial speed of the first cart, u₁ = 1.85 m/s
let the mass of the cart with unknown inertia be m₂
initial velocity of the second cart, u₂ = 2.17 m/s to the left
velocity of the first cart after collision, v₁ = 1.32 m/s to the left
velocity of the second cart after collision, v₂ = 3.22 m/s
time of collision, t = 0.010 s
(a) What is the unknown inertia?
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum, to determine the unknown inertia.
let leftward direction be negative direction
let rightward direction be positive direction
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
0.66(1.85) + m₂(-2.17) = 0.66(-1.32) + m₂(3.22)
1.221 - 2.17m₂ = -0.8712 + 3.22m₂
1.221 + 0.8712 = 3.22m₂ + 2.17m₂
2.0922 = 5.39m₂
m₂ = 2.0922 / 5.39
m₂ = 0.388 kg
The unknown inertia is 0.388 kg
(b) the average acceleration of the heavier cart
the heavier cart has a mass of 0.66 kg
[tex]a = \frac{v_1 - u_1}{t} \\\\a = \frac{-1.32 - 1.85}{0.01} \\\\a = -317 \ m/s^2\\\\|a| = 317 \ m/s^2[/tex]
(c) the average acceleration of the lighter cart;
the lighter cart has a mass of 0.388 kg
[tex]a = \frac{v_2 - u_2}{t} \\\\a = \frac{3.22 - (-2.17)}{0.01} \\\\a =\frac{3.22 \ +\ 2.17}{0.01} \\\\a= 539\ m/s^2[/tex]

The radius of the Sun is 6.96 x 108 m and the distance between the Sun and the Earth is roughtly 1.50 x 1011 m. You may assume that the Sun is a perfect sphere and that the irradiance arriving on the Earth is the value for AMO, 1,350 W/m2. Calculate the temperature at the surface of the Sun.
Answer:
5766.7 K
Explanation:
We are given that
Radius of Sun , R=[tex]6.96\times 10^{8} m[/tex]
Distance between the Sun and the Earth, D=[tex]1.50\times 10^{11}m[/tex]
Irradiance arriving on the Earth is the value for AMO=[tex]1350W/m^2[/tex]
We have to find the temperature at the surface of the Sun.
We know that
Temperature ,T=[tex](\frac{K_{sc}D^2}{\sigma R^2})^{\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]
Where [tex]K_{sc}=1350 W/m^2[/tex]
[tex]\sigma=5.67\times 10^{-8}watt/m^2k^4[/tex]
Using the formula
[tex]T=(\frac{1350\times (1.5\times 10^{11})^2}{5.67\times 10^{-8}\times (6.96\times 10^{8})^2})^{\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]
T=5766.7 K
Hence, the temperature at the surface of the sun=5766.7 K

Two spherical objects are separated by a distance that is 1.08 x 10-3 m. The objects are initially electrically neutral and are very small compared to the distance between them. Each object acquires the same negative charge due to the addition of electrons. As a result, each object experiences an electrostatic force that has a magnitude of 3.89 x 10-21 N. How many electrons did it take to produce the charge on one of the objects
Answer:
the charge on the object is 71.043×10^-20 C and the number of electron is 4.44
Explanation:
from coulumbs law, The force that is acting over both charge can be computed as
F=( kq1q2)/r^2..............eqn(1)
Where
F=electrostatic force= 3.89 x 10-21 N
k= column constant= 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2
q1 and q2= magnitude of the charges
r= distance between the charges= 1.08 x 10-3 m.
Since both charges are experiencing the same force, eqn(1) can be written as
F=( kq^2)/r^2.
We can make q subject of the formula
q= √(Fr^2)/k
= √[(3.89 x 10^-21× (1.08 x 10^-3)^2]/8.99 x 10^9
q= 71.043×10^-20 C
Hence, the charge is 71.043×10^-20 C
From quantization law, the number of electron can be computed as
N=q/e
Where
N= number of electron
q= charges
=1.6×10^-19C
N=71.043×10^-20/1.6×10^-19
=4.44
Hence, the charge on the object is 71.043×10^-20 C and the number of electron is 4.44
2.19 The drag characteristics of a blimp traveling at 4 m/s are to be studied by experiments in a water tunnel. The prototype is 20 m in diameter and 110 m long. The model is one-twentieth scale. What velocity must the model have for dynamic similarity
Answer:
[tex]Vm=0.894m/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
Velocity if travel [tex]v=4m/s[/tex]
Diameter of prototype [tex]d_1=20m[/tex] and [tex]d_2=110m[/tex]
Scale ratio=[tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
Generally Velocity of of the model using Froud's model is mathematically given as
[tex]Fm=Fp[/tex]
[tex]\frac{Vm}{\sqrt{Lmg}} =\frac{Vp}{\sqrt{Lpg}}[/tex]
[tex]Vm=Vp*\frac{Vp}{\sqrt{Lpg} }[/tex]
[tex]Vm=4*\frac{1}{\sqrt{20}}[/tex]
[tex]Vm=0.894m/s[/tex]
Two pieces of amber are hung from threads. Piece A is charged by rubbing piece A with fur. Piece B is charged by rubbing piece B with silk. Nylon is used to rub and charge a third piece of amber. Piece A and B are both repelled by the third piece of amber. This means:____.
Answer:
ieces A and B must also have the same type of charges
Explanation:
In electrostatics, charges of the same sign repel and charges of different signs attract.
If we apply this to our case, we have that part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.
Also part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.
If we use the transitive property of mathematics, pieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

An electric range has a constant current of 10 A entering the positive voltage terminal with a voltage of 110 V. The range is operated for two hours, (a) Find the charge in coulombs that passes through the range, (b) Find the power absorbed by the range, (c) If electric energy costs 12 cents per kilowatt-hour, determine the cost of operating the range for two hours.
Answer:
A. 72000 C
B. 1100 W
C. 26.4 cents.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Current (I) = 10 A
Voltage (V) = 110 V
Time (t) = 2 h
A. Determination of the charge.
We'll begin by converting 2 h to seconds. This can be obtained as follow:
1 h = 3600 s
Therefore,
2 h = 2 h × 3600 s / 1 h
2 h = 7200 s
Thus, 2 h is equivalent to 7200 s.
Finally, we shall determine the charge. This can be obtained as follow:
Current (I) = 10 A
Time (t) = 7200 s
Charge (Q) =?
Q = It
Q = 10 × 7200
Q = 72000 C
B. Determination of the power.
Current (I) = 10 A
Voltage (V) = 110 V
Power (P) =?
P = IV
P = 10 × 110
P = 1100 W
C. Determination of the cost of operation.
We'll begin by converting 1100 W to KW. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 W = 1 KW
Therefore,
1100 W = 1100 W × 1 KW / 1000 W
1100 W = 1.1 KW
Thus, 1100 W is equivalent to 1.1 KW
Next, we shall determine the energy consumption of the range. This can be obtained as follow:
Power (P) = 1.1 KW
Time (t) = 2 h
Energy (E) =?
E = Pt
E = 1.1 × 2
E = 2.2 KWh
Finally, we shall determine the cost of operation. This can be obtained as follow:
1 KWh cost 12 cents.
Therefore, 2.2 KWh will cost = 2.2 × 12
= 26.4 cents.
Thus, the cost of operating the range for 2 h is 26.4 cents.

Ethyl Alcohol E = 1.06 GPa Gasoline E = 1.3 GPa
Petrol E = 1.45 GPa Seawater E = 2.34 GPa
Answer:
Explanation:
Fluid A :
Δ V = Change in volume = (3000 - 2804) x 10⁻⁶ m³ = 196 x 10⁻⁶ m³
volume strain = Δ V / V = 196 x 10⁻⁶ / 3000 x 10⁻⁶
= .06533
Δ P = increase in pressure = 6 x 10⁷ Pa
E = Δ P / volume strain = 6 x 10⁷ / .06533 = 91.84 x 10⁷ Pa = .92 GPa .
It is Acetone .
Fluid B :
Δ V = Change in volume = (3000 - 2862) x 10⁻⁶ m³ = 138 x 10⁻⁶ m³
volume strain = Δ V / V = 138 x 10⁻⁶ / 3000 x 10⁻⁶
= .046
Δ P = increase in pressure = 6 x 10⁷ Pa
E = Δ P / volume strain = 6 x 10⁷ / .046 = 130.43 x 10⁷ Pa = 1.3 GPa .
It is Gasoline .
Fluid C :
Δ V = Change in volume = (3000 - 2916) x 10⁻⁶ m³ = 84 x 10⁻⁶ m³
volume strain = Δ V / V = 84 x 10⁻⁶ / 3000 x 10⁻⁶
= .028
Δ P = increase in pressure = 6 x 10⁷ Pa
E = Δ P / volume strain = 6 x 10⁷ / .028 = 214.28 x 10⁷ Pa = 2.14 GPa .
It is Water .

A circus tightrope walker weighing 800 N is standing in the middle of a 15 meter long cable stretched between two posts. The cable was originally horizontal. The lowest point of the cable is now at his feet and is 30 cm below the horizontal. Assume the cable is massless. What is the tension in the cable
Answer:
T = 10010 N
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the translational equilibrium relation, let's set a reference frame
X axis
Fₓ-Fₓ = 0
Fₓ = Fₓ
whereby the horizontal components of the tension in the cable cancel
Y Axis
[tex]F_{y} + F_{y} - W =0[/tex]
2[tex]F_{y}[/tex] = W
let's use trigonometry to find the angles
tan θ = y / x
θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 L)
θ = tan⁻¹ (0.30 / 0.50 15)
θ = 2.29º
the components of stress are
F_{y} = T sin θ
we substitute
2 T sin θ = W
T = W / 2sin θ
T = [tex]\frac{ 800}{ 2sin 2.29}[/tex]
T = 10010 N
While investigating Kirchhoff's Laws, you begin observing a blackbody, such as a star, from Earth using advanced technology that can analyze spectra. While pointing it at the star with nothing between you and the star, you observe a full spectrum. You come back and repeat this same experiment a year later using the same star, except this time you observe an absorption spectrum. What is the most likely explanation for this
Answer:
the second time there is a gas between you and the star,
Explanation:
When you observe the star for the first time you do not have a given between you and the star, therefore you observe the emission spectrum of the same that is formed by lines of different intensity and position that indicate the type and percentage of the atoms that make up the star.
When you observe the same phenomenon for the second time there is a gas between you and the star, this gas absorbs the wavelengths of the star that has the same energies and the atomisms and molecular gas, therefore these lines are not observed by seeing a series of dark bands,
The information obtained from the two spectra is the same, the type of atoms that make up the star

Answer:
C. Is traveling on a curve in the road
Hope this helps :3
The pick up truck has a changing velocity because, it is travelling on a curve in the road. A change in direction results in its change in velocity because, velocity is a vector quantity.
What is velocity ?Velocity is a physical quantity that measures the distance covered by an object per unit time. It is a vector quantity, thus having magnitude as well direction.
The rate of change in velocity is called acceleration of the object. Like velocity, acceleration also is a vector quantity. Thus, a change in magnitude or direction or change in both for velocity make the object to accelerate.
Here, all the three vehicles are travelling with the same velocity. But, the truck is moving to a curve on the road. The curvature in the path will make a change in its velocity.

A car enters a 105-m radius flat curve on a rainy day when the coefficient of static friction between its tires and the road is 0.4. What is
the maximum speed which the car can travel around the curve without sliding
Static friction (magnitude Fs) keeps the car on the road, and is the only force acting on it parallel to the road. By Newton's second law,
Fs = m a = W a / g
(a = centripetal acceleration, m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity)
We have
a = v ² / R
(v = tangential speed, R = radius of the curve)
so that
Fs = W v ² / (g R)
Solving for v gives
v = √(Fs g R / W)
Perpendicular to the road, the car is in equilibrium, so Newton's second law gives
N - W = 0
(N = normal force, W = weight)
so that
N = W
We're given a coefficient of static friction µ = 0.4, so
Fs = µ N = 0.4 W
Substitute this into the equation for v. The factors of W cancel, so we get
v = √((0.4 W) g R / W) = √(0.4 g R) = √(0.4 (9.80 m/s²) (105 m)) ≈ 20.3 m/s
Select the Moon and use the Info view to determine which of the following statements is correct. The Last Quarter Moon.... rises near noon and sets near midnight. rises at about 6am and sets at about 6pm. rises near midnight and sets near midday. rises and sets at the same time as the Sun. Submit Your Answer
Answer: The correct statement is that the Last Quarter Moon (rises near midnight and sets near midday).
Explanation:
Phases of the moon also called the LUNAR PHASE can be defined as the different shades of illumination on the moon as seen from the earth. The moon is the natural satellite of the earth that illuminates upon reflection of light from the sun. This means it doesn't have power to shine on its own. When carefully observed, there are times it gets dark and beings to glow brighter over a period of time. This occurs because as the moon completes its four weeks lunar cycle round the earth, how much of its face we see illuminated by sunlight depends on the angle the Sun makes with the Moon.
There are 8 main types of the moon phases these includes:
--> New moon: This is when the moon is not visible to the earth because it's between the earth and the sun. It rises at sunrise and sets at sunset.
--> The waxing crescent: At this phase the moon gets brighter and illuminated from the sun that a crescent shape is seen.
--> First quarter: this occurs one week after the new moon. The moon rises at noon and sets at midnight.
--> The waxing gibbous: This occurs after the first quarter phase where more than half of the lit part of the moon is seen.
--> Full moon: This occurs when the moon and the sun are opposite each other. That is way it is said to rise at sunset and sets at sun rise.
--> The waning gibbous: this occurs when more than half of the lit part of the moon gradually becomes darker
--> Third quarter ( Last Quarter): The moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. This occurs a week after the full moon.
--> The waning crescent: This occurs after the last quarter phase where a very thin fading crescent shaped moon is seen, just before the Moon is invisible again at the start of the cycle, the new moon.

Does changing the height of point C affect the speed of the coaster car at point D?
Without friction, NO.
The speed at D depends only on the difference in height between A and D. Whatever happens between them doesn't matter.
The speed of the coaster car at point D will be affected if the height of point C is changed.
Potencial Energy:
It is the enrgy in a body due to the position of differnt part of the object or system.
As we increase the the hight of the car the potetial enrgy increase, the gravitational acceleration on car will be more due to the high of the point C.

What is the mass of a catamaran moving at 7.65 m/s that has a momentum of 530145 kg x m/s?
A small sphere of reference-grade iron with a specific heat of 447 J/kg K and a mass of 0.515 kg is suddenly immersed in a water-ice mixture. Fine thermocouple wires suspend the sphere, and the temperature is observed to change from 15 to 14C in 6.35 s. The experiment is repeated with a metallic sphere of the same diameter, but of unknown composition with a mass of 1.263 kg. If the same observed temperature change occurs in 4.59 s, what is the specific heat of the unknown material
Answer:
The specific heat of the unknown material is 131.750 joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.
Explanation:
Let suppose that sphere is cooled down at steady state, then we can estimate the rate of heat transfer ([tex]\dot Q[/tex]), measured in watts, that is, joules per second, by the following formula:
[tex]\dot Q = m\cdot c\cdot \frac{T_{f}-T_{o}}{\Delta t}[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the sphere, measured in kilograms.
[tex]c[/tex] - Specific heat of the material, measured in joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.
[tex]T_{o}[/tex], [tex]T_{f}[/tex] - Initial and final temperatures of the sphere, measured in degrees Celsius.
[tex]\Delta t[/tex] - Time, measured in seconds.
In addition, we assume that both spheres experiment the same heat transfer rate, then we have the following identity:
[tex]\frac{m_{I}\cdot c_{I}}{\Delta t_{I}} = \frac{m_{X}\cdot c_{X}}{\Delta t_{X}}[/tex] (2)
Where:
[tex]m_{I}[/tex], [tex]m_{X}[/tex] - Masses of the iron and unknown spheres, measured in kilograms.
[tex]\Delta t_{I}[/tex], [tex]\Delta t_{X}[/tex] - Times of the iron and unknown spheres, measured in seconds.
[tex]c_{I}[/tex], [tex]c_{X}[/tex] - Specific heats of the iron and unknown materials, measured in joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.
[tex]c_{X} = \left(\frac{\Delta t_{X}}{\Delta t_{I}}\right)\cdot \left(\frac{m_{I}}{m_{X}} \right) \cdot c_{I}[/tex]
If we know that [tex]\Delta t_{I} = 6.35\,s[/tex], [tex]\Delta t_{X} = 4.59\,s[/tex], [tex]m_{I} = 0.515\,kg[/tex], [tex]m_{X} = 1.263\,kg[/tex] and [tex]c_{I} = 447\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex], then the specific heat of the unknown material is:
[tex]c_{X} = \left(\frac{4.59\,s}{6.35\,s} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{0.515\,kg}{1.263\,kg} \right)\cdot \left(447\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)[/tex]
[tex]c_{X} = 131.750\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}[/tex]
Then, the specific heat of the unknown material is 131.750 joules per kilogram-degree Celsius.
