An object is suspended by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. If the tension in the string is equal to 25 N at an instant when the elevator is accelerating downward at a rate of 2.0 , what is the mass of the suspended object
By Newton's second law, the net force on the object is
∑ F = T - mg = - ma
where
• T = 25 N, the tension in the string
• m is the mass of the object
• g = 9.8 m/s², the acceleration due to gravity
• a = 2.0 m/s², the acceleration of the elevator-object system
Solve for m :
25 N - m (9.8 m/s²) = - m (2.0 m/s²)
==> m = (25 N) / (9.8 m/s² - 2.0 m/s²) ≈ 3.2 kg
Two children sit on a seesaw that is in rotational equilibrium. The first child has weight W and sits at distance d from the pivot. If the second child sits at a distance of 7*d from the pivot, what must be the weight of the second child
Answer:
W/7
Explanation:
By principle of moments,
Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment
Weight × 7d = W × d
Weight = W/7
Since the two children are in rotational equilibrium, the weight of the second child is W/7.
How can the weight of the second child be determined?The weight of the second child can be determined from the principle of moments.
The principle of moments states that for a body in equilibrium, the sum of the clockwise moments and anticlockwise moments about a point is zero.
Let the weight of the second child be X
From the principle of moments:
W × d = 7×d × X
X = W/7
Therefore, the weight of the second child is W/7.

Explain the following defects of a simple electric cell:
a.Polarization,
ß. Local action.
Answer:
Explanation:
The two major defects of simple electric cells causes current supplied to be for short time. These defects are: polarization and local action.
a. Polarization: This is a defect caused by an accumulation of hydrogen bubbles at the positive electrode of the cell. It can be prevented by the use of vent, using a hydrogen absorbing material or the use of a depolarizer.
b. Local Action: This is the gradual wearing away of the electrode due to impurities in the zinc plate. It can be controlled by the amalgamation of the zinc plate before it is used.

What force FB must be exerted by the bi-
ceps muscle? The acceleration of gravity is
9.8 m/s2. (Ignore the weight of the forearm.)
Answer in units of N.
Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information:
From the rotational axis, the distance of the force of gravity is:
d_g = 25+5.0 cm
d_g = 30.0 cm
d_g = 30.0 × 10⁻² m
However, the relative distance of FB cos 75.9° from the axis is computed as:
d_B = 5.0 cm
d_B = 5.0 × 10⁻² m
The net torque rotational equilibrium = zero (0)
i.e.
[tex]\tau_g -\tau_B = 0 \\ \\ F_gd_g -F_gcos 75.9^0 d_B = 0 \\ \\ F_B = \dfrac{F_g d_g}{F_g cos 65.6} \\ \\ F_B = \dfrac{(3.2)(9.8)(30*10^{-2})}{(5.0*10^{-2} * cos 75.9)} \\ \\ \mathbf{F_B = 772.4 N}[/tex]
= 772.4 N
Thus, the force exerted = 1772.4 N
An automobile engine has an efficiency of 22.0% and produces 2510 J of work. How much heat is rejected by the engine
Answer:
If efficiency is .22 then W = .22 * Q where Q is the heat input
Heat Input Q = 2510 / .22 = 11,400 J
Heat rejected = 11.400 - 2510 = 8900 J of heat wasted
Also, 8900 J / (4.19 J / cal) = 2120 cal
An efficiency is the measure of productivity of an engine. The heat rejected by the engine is 8900 Joules.
What is efficiency?An efficiency of a heat engine is the ratio of the work done and heat supplied.
Given is the automobile engine has the efficiency 22% and Work done is 2510 Joules.
The efficiency is written as,
η= W / Qs.
The work done is W= Qs - Qr, where Qr is the rejected heat.
The heat rejected can be represented as
Qr = W ( 1/η -1)
Substituting the value into the equation, we get the rejected heat.
Qr = 2510 (1/0.22 -1)
Qr = 8900 Joules.
Thus, the heat rejected by the engine is 8900 Joules.

Please assist with solving this problem and showing the steps
Answer:
2.21 N
Explanation:
The force in this case is the total mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity. You are not asked for the solution to be in terms of the torque which is the usual way to solve these problems. That's why you are not given where the fulcrum is.
The fulcrum feels F1 + F2 + 34 * 980
F2 = 141.7 * 980 = 138866
F1 = 50.3 * 980 = 49294
Ruler = 34 * 980= 33320
Total Force = 221480 The units here are dynes
I just saw in the middle of the question that g = 9.80
So the answer becomes 221480 / 1000 = 221.48 because we needed kg
And that answer becomes 221.48/100 2.21 because the force of gravity should be 9.8 not 980
The total force exerted on the fulcrum is
A 70.0-kg person throws a 0.0430-kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 32.0 m/s. A second person, with a mass of 58.5 kg, catches the snowball. Both people are on skates. The first person is initially moving forward with a speed of 3.30 m/s, and the second person is initially at rest. What are the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged
Answer:
The velocities of the skaters are [tex]v_{1} = 3.280\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex] and [tex]v_{2} = 0.024\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], respectively.
Explanation:
Each skater is not under the influence of external forces during process, so that Principle of Momentum Conservation can be used on each skater:
First skater
[tex]m_{1} \cdot v_{1, o} = m_{1} \cdot v_{1} + m_{b}\cdot v_{b}[/tex] (1)
Second skater
[tex]m_{b}\cdot v_{b} = (m_{2}+m_{b})\cdot v_{2}[/tex] (2)
Where:
[tex]m_{1}[/tex] - Mass of the first skater, in kilograms.
[tex]m_{2}[/tex] - Mass of the second skater, in kilograms.
[tex]v_{1,o}[/tex] - Initial velocity of the first skater, in meters per second.
[tex]v_{1}[/tex] - Final velocity of the first skater, in meters per second.
[tex]v_{b}[/tex] - Launch velocity of the meter, in meters per second.
[tex]v_{2}[/tex] - Final velocity of the second skater, in meters per second.
If we know that [tex]m_{1} = 70\,kg[/tex], [tex]m_{b} = 0.043\,kg[/tex], [tex]v_{b} = 32\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]m_{2} = 58.5\,kg[/tex] and [tex]v_{1,o} = 3.30\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], then the velocities of the two people after the snowball is exchanged is:
By (1):
[tex]m_{1} \cdot v_{1, o} = m_{1} \cdot v_{1} + m_{b}\cdot v_{b}[/tex]
[tex]m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o} - m_{b}\cdot v_{b} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1}[/tex]
[tex]v_{1} = v_{1,o} - \left(\frac{m_{b}}{m_{1}} \right)\cdot v_{b}[/tex]
[tex]v_{1} = 3.30\,\frac{m}{s} - \left(\frac{0.043\,kg}{70\,kg}\right)\cdot \left(32\,\frac{m}{s} \right)[/tex]
[tex]v_{1} = 3.280\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
By (2):
[tex]m_{b}\cdot v_{b} = (m_{2}+m_{b})\cdot v_{2}[/tex]
[tex]v_{2} = \frac{m_{b}\cdot v_{b}}{m_{2}+m_{b}}[/tex]
[tex]v_{2} = \frac{(0.043\,kg)\cdot \left(32\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{58.5\,kg + 0.043\,kg}[/tex]
[tex]v_{2} = 0.024\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 517 km and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface is 0.636 m/s2
Answer:
810.94 m/s
Explanation:
Applying,
v = √(2gR)............. Equation 1
Where v = escape velocity of the spherical asteroid, g = acceleration due to gravity, R = radius of the earth
From the question,
Given: g = 0.636 m/s², R = 517 km = 517000 m
Substitute these values into equation 1
v = √(2×0.636×517000)
v = √(657624)
v = 810.94 m/s
Hence, the escape velocity is 810.94 m/s

A 1.64 kg mass on a spring oscillates horizontal frictionless surface. The motion of the mass is described by the equation: X = 0.33cos(3.17t). In the equation, x is measured in meters and t in seconds. What is the maximum energy stored in the spring during an oscillation?
Answer:
[tex]K.E_{max}=0.8973J[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Mass [tex]m=1.64kg[/tex]
Equation of Mass
[tex]X=0.33cos(3.17t)[/tex]...1
Generally equation for distance X is
[tex]X=Acos(\omega t)[/tex]...2
Therefore comparing equation
Angular Velocity [tex]\omega=3.17rad/s[/tex]
Amplitude A=0.33
Generally the equation for Max speed is mathematically given by
[tex]V_{max}=A\omega[/tex]
[tex]V_{max}=0.33*3.17[/tex]
[tex]V_{max}=1.0461m/s[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]K.E_{max}=0.5mv^2[/tex]
[tex]K.E_{max}=0.5*1.64*(1.0461)^2[/tex]
[tex]K.E_{max}=0.8973J[/tex]
A uniform steel rod of length 0.9 m and mass 3.8 kg has two point masses of 2.3 kg each at the two ends. Calculate the moment of inertia of the system about an axis perpendicular to the rod, and passing through its center.
Answer: [tex]2.4705\ kg.m^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given
length of the rod is L=0.9 m
Mass of the rod m=3.8 kg
Point masses has mass of m=2.3 kg
Moment of Inertia of the rod about the center is
[tex]\Rightarrow I_o=\dfrac{1}{12}ML^2[/tex]
Moment of inertia of combined system is the sum of rod and two point masses.
[tex]\Rightarrow I=I_o+2mr^2[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1}{12}3.8\times 0.9^2+2\times 2.3\times \left(\dfrac{0.9}{2}\right)^2\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.539+0.9315\\\Rightarrow I=2.4705\ kg-m^2[/tex]
Explain what a circuit breaker is and how it helps protect your house?
Explanation:
A circuit breaker is an electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent/overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after protective relays detect a fault.
Circuit breakers have been designed to detect when there is a fault in the electricity, so it will “trip” and shut down electrical flow. ... This detection is key to preventing surges of electricity that travel to appliances or other outlets, which can cause them to break down

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes the pendulum to swing back and forth once. If the only dimensional quantities that the period depends on are the acceleration of gravity, g, and the length of the pendulum, l, what combination of g and l must the period be proportional to
Explanation:
Let T is the period of a pendulum. The SI unit of time is seconds (s).
It depends on the acceleration of gravity, g, and the length of the pendulum, l.
The SI unit of acceleration of gravity, g and the length of the pendulum, l are m/s² and m respectively.
If we divide m and m/s², we left with s². If the square root of s² is taken, we get s only i.e. the SI unit of period of a pendulum.
So,
[tex]T\propto \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
Two identical cylinders with a movable piston contain 0.7 mol of helium gas at a temperature of 300 K. The temperature of the gas in the first cylinder is increased to 412 K at constant volume by doing work W1 and transferring energy Q1 by heat. The temperature of the gas in the second cylinder is increased to 412 K at constant pressure by doing work W2 while transferring energy Q2 by heat.
Required:
Find ÎEint, 1, Q1, and W1 for the process at constant volume.
Answer:
ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = 977.7 J , Q₁ = 977.7 J and W₁ = 0 J
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
T[tex]_i[/tex] = 300 K, T[tex]_f[/tex] = 412 K, n = 0.7 mol
since helium is monoatomic;
Cv = (3/2)R, Cp = (5/2)R
W₁ = 0 J [ at constant volume or ΔV = 0]
Now for the first cylinder; from the first law of thermodynamics;
Q₁ = ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ + W₁
Q₁ = ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = n × Cv × ΔT
we substitute
Q₁ = ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = 0.7 × ( 3/2 )8.314 × ( 412 - 300 )
Q₁ = ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = 0.7 × 12.471 × 112
Q₁ = ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = 977.7 J
Therefore, ΔE[tex]_{int[/tex],₁ = 977.7 J , Q₁ = 977.7 J and W₁ = 0 J

If the electron has half the speed needed to reach the negative plate, it will turn around and go towards the positive plate. What will its speed be, in meters per second, when it reaches the positive plate in this case
Answer:
v = -v₀ / 2
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use kinematics relations.
Let's use the initial conditions to find the acceleration of the electron
v² = v₀² - 2a y
when the initial velocity is vo it reaches just the negative plate so v = 0
a = v₀² / 2y
now they tell us that the initial velocity is half
v’² = v₀’² - 2 a y’
v₀ ’= v₀ / 2
at the point where turn v = 0
0 = v₀² /4 - 2 a y '
v₀² /4 = 2 (v₀² / 2y) y’
y = 4 y'
y ’= y / 4
We can see that when the velocity is half, advance only ¼ of the distance between the plates, now let's calculate the velocity if it leaves this position with zero velocity.
v² = v₀² -2a y’
v² = 0 - 2 (v₀² / 2y) y / 4
v² = -v₀² / 4
v = -v₀ / 2
We can see that as the system has no friction, the arrival speed is the same as the exit speed, but with the opposite direction.

The density of pure water is 1 gram per 1 milliliter or one cubic cm. By knowing the density of water we can use it in dilution equations or to calculate the specific gravity of other solutions.
It can also help us determine what other substances are made of using the water displacement experiment. This is done by observing how much water is displaced when an object is submerged in the water. As long as you know the density of the water, the mass of the object being submerged and the volume of increase you can calculate the density of the object.
This was done by the great Archimedes in discovering what composed the kings crown.
a concrete has a height of 5m and has unit area 3m² supports a mass of 30000kg.
Determine the stress, strain and change in height
Answer:
stress = 98000 N/m^2
strain = 3.92 x 10^-6
change in height = 0.0196 mm
Explanation:
Height, h = 5 m
Area, A = 3 m²
mass, m = 30000 kg
Stress is defined as the force per unit area.
[tex]stress = \frac{mg}{A}\\\\stress = \frac{30000\times 9.8}{3}\\\\stress = 98000 N/m^2[/tex]
Young's modulus of concrete is Y = 2.5 x 10^10 N/m^2
Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of stress to the strain.
[tex]Y = \frac{stress}{strain}\\\\2.5\times 10^{10}= \frac{98000}{strain}\\\\strain = 3.92\times 10^{-6}[/tex]
let the change in height is h'.
Strain is defined as the ratio of change in height to the original height.
[tex]3.92\times 10^{-6} = \frac{h'}{5}\\\\h' = 1.96\times 10^{-5}m = 0.0196 mm[/tex]
