Answer:
a) T = 2838.6 N, b) W = 1003.2 J, c) W = 6.22 10⁴ J, d) W = 2.79 10³ J
e) v_f = 2.65 m / s
Explanation:
a) To find the tension of the cable let's use Newton's second law
T - W = m a
T = W + ma
T = m (g + a)
let's calculate
T = 285 (-9.8 - 0.160)
T = 2838.6 N
b) net work is stress work minus weight work
W = F d
W = (T-W) d
W = (m a) d
W = (285 0.160) 22
W = 1003.2 J
c) the work done by the cable
W = T d cos 0
W = 2838.6 22.0
W = 6.22 10⁴ J
d) The work done by the weight
the displacement is upwards and the weight points downwards, so the angle is 180º
W = F. d
W = F d cos 180
W = -285 22.0
W = 2.79 10³ J
e) the final speed of the load. Let's use the relationship between work and the change in kinetic energy
W = ΔK
as part of rest K₀ = 0
W = ½ m v_f²
v_f = [tex]\sqrt{ \frac{2W}{m} }[/tex]
v_f = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 \ 1003.2}{285} }[/tex]
v_f = 2.65 m / s
A 50 g copper calorimeter contains 250 g of water at 20 C. How much steam be condensed into the water to make the final temperature of the system 50 C. ( specific heat water= 4200 J/Kg C , specific heat copper= 390 J/Kg C
Answer:
Approximately [tex]13\; \rm g[/tex] of steam at [tex]100\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex] (assuming that the boiling point of water in this experiment is [tex]100\; \rm ^\circ C\![/tex].)
Explanation:
Latent heat of condensation/evaporation of water: [tex]2260\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}[/tex].
Both mass values in this question are given in grams. Hence, convert the specific heat values from this question to [tex]\rm J \cdot g^{-1}[/tex].
Specific heat of water: [tex]4.2\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot \rm K^{-1}[/tex].
Specific heat of copper: [tex]0.39\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}[/tex].
The temperature of this calorimeter and the [tex]250\; \rm g[/tex] of water that it initially contains increased from [tex]20\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex] to [tex]50\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex]. Calculate the amount of energy that would be absorbed:
[tex]\begin{aligned}& Q(\text{copper}) \\ =\;& c \cdot m \cdot \Delta t \\ =\;& 0.39\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1} \times 50\; \rm g \times (50\;{\rm ^\circ C} - 20\;{\rm ^\circ C}) \\ =\; & 585\; \rm J \end{aligned}[/tex].
[tex]\begin{aligned}& Q(\text{cool water}) \\ =\;& c \cdot m \cdot \Delta t \\ =\;& 4.2\; \rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1} \times 250\; \rm g \times (50\;{\rm ^\circ C} - 20\;{\rm ^\circ C}) \\ =\; & 31500\; \rm J \end{aligned}[/tex].
Hence, it would take an extra [tex]585\; \rm J + 31500\; \rm J = 32085\; \rm J[/tex] of energy to increase the temperature of the calorimeter and the [tex]250\; \rm g[/tex] of water that it initially contains from [tex]20\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex] to [tex]50\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex].
Assume that it would take [tex]x[/tex] grams of steam at [tex]100\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex] ensure that the equilibrium temperature of the system is [tex]50\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex].
In other words, [tex]x\; \rm g[/tex] of steam at [tex]100\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex] would need to release [tex]32085\; \rm J[/tex] as it condenses (releases latent heat) and cools down to [tex]50\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex].
Latent heat of condensation from [tex]x\; \rm g[/tex] of steam: [tex]2260\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1}} \times (x\; {\rm g}) = (2260\, x)\; \rm J[/tex].
Energy released when that [tex]x\; {\rm g}[/tex] of water from the steam cools down from [tex]100\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex] to [tex]50\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex]:
[tex]\begin{aligned}Q = \;& c \cdot m \cdot \Delta t \\ =\;& 4.2\; {\rm J \cdot g^{-1}\cdot K^{-1}} \times (x\; \rm g) \times (100\;{\rm ^\circ C} - 50\;{\rm ^\circ C}) \\ =\; & (210\, x)\; \rm J \end{aligned}[/tex].
These two parts of energy should add up to [tex]32085\; \rm J[/tex]. That would be exactly what it would take to raise the temperature of the calorimeter and the water that it initially contains from [tex]20\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex] to [tex]50\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex].
[tex](2260\, x)\; {\rm J} + (210\, x)\; {\rm J} = 32085\; \rm J[/tex].
Solve for [tex]x[/tex]:
[tex]x \approx 13[/tex].
Hence, it would take approximately [tex]13\; \rm g[/tex] of steam at [tex]100\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex] for the equilibrium temperature of the system to be [tex]50\; \rm ^\circ C[/tex].
CHEGG A neutron star has a mass of 2.08 × 1030 kg (about the mass of our sun) and a radius of 6.73 × 103 m. Suppose an object falls from rest near the surface of such a star. How fast would it be moving after it had fallen a distance of 0.0093 m? (Assume that the gravitational force is constant over the distance of the fall, and that the star is not rotating.
Let g be the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the star. By Newton's second law, the gravitational force felt by the object has a magnitude of
F = GMm/r ² = mg
where
• G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² is the gravitational constant,
• M = 2.08 × 10³⁰ kg is the mass of the star,
• m is the unknown mass of the object, and
• r = 6.73 × 10³ m is the radius of the star
Solving for g gives
g = GM/r ²
g = (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²) (2.08 × 10³⁰ kg) / (6.73 × 10³ m)²
g ≈ 3.06 × 10¹² m/s²
The object is in free fall with uniform acceleration and starting from rest, so its speed after falling 0.0093 m is v such that
v ² = 2g (0.0093 m)
v = √(2g (0.0093 m))
v ≈ 240,000 m/s ≈ 240 km/s
Determine the values of m and n when the following average magnetic field strength of the Earth is written in scientific notation: 0.0000451 T. Enter m and n, separated by commas.
Answer:
B = 4.51×10⁻⁵ T
Explanation:
Given that,
The average magnetic field strength of the Earth is 0.0000451 T.
We need to write the value in the form of scientific notation. Any number in scientific notation is written as follows :
N=a×bⁿ
Where
n is any integer and a is a real no
So,
0.0000451 = 4.51×10⁻⁵ T
So, the required answer is equal to 4.51×10⁻⁵ T.

The ejection seat has an acceleration of 8gees (8xgravity or ~80m/s/s). He has a mass of 70kg. The total force on him from the chair/rocket would be ?
(80m/s/s)(70kg)=5600N
(80m/s/s)(70kg)=5600N + Fg = 5600N+(70kg)(9.8N/kg)~5600N+700N=6300N
(80m/s/s)(70kg)=5600N - Fg = 5600N+(70kg)(9.8N/kg)~5600N-700N=4900N
I need the time
please explain need this ASAP
I assume you're talking about a pilot. If the ejection seat has an acceleration of 8g, then it would exert a normal force of 8g (70 kg) ≈ 5600 N.
(This is assuming the pilot is flying horizontally at a constant speed, and the seat is ejected vertically upward.)
To reiterate, this is *only* the force exerted by the seat on the pilot. Contrast this with the net force on the pilot, which would be the normal force minus the pilot's weight, 5600 N - (70 kg)g ≈ 4900 N.
If instead the seat ejects the pilot directly downward, the force exerted by the seat would have the same magnitude of 5600 N, but its direction would be reversed to point downward, making it negative. But the net force would change to -5600 N - (70 kg)g ≈ -6300 N

Hi there!
[tex]\large\boxed{\text{D. 675000J}}[/tex]
Use the following formula to solve:
KE = 1/2mv², where:
KE = kinetic energy
m = mass (kg)
v = velocity (m/s)
Therefore:
KE = 1/2(1500)(30)²
KE = 1/2(1500)(900)
KE = 675000 J
A major artery with a 1.3 cm^2 cross-sectional area branches into 18 smaller arteries, each with an average cross-sectional area of 0.6 cm^2. By what factor is the average velocity of the blood reduced when it passes into these branches?
Answer:
When the blood passes into the smaller branches, its average velocity reduces by a factor of 0.12
Explanation:
Given;
initial area of the artery, A₁ = 1.3 cm²
Area of each smaller 18 arteries, a₂ = 0.6 cm²
Total area of the smaller 18 arteries, A₂ = 18 x 0.6 cm²
Apply flow rate equation;
Q = AV
where;
Q is the flow rate of the blood
V is the average velocity of the blood
If the flow rate is constant, then;
A₁V₁ = A₂V₂
[tex]V_2 = \frac{A_1V_1}{A_2} = \frac{1.3\times V_1}{18\times 0.6} \\\\V_2 = 0.12 \ V_1[/tex]
When the blood passes into the smaller branches, its average velocity reduces by a factor of 0.12
A 1200-kg car is being driven up a 5.0o hill. The frictional force is directed opposite to the motion of the car and has a magnitude of f = 524 N. A force F is applied to the car by the road and propels the car forward. In addition to these two forces, two other forces act on the car: its weight W and the normal force FN directed perpendicular to the road surface. The length of the road up the hill is 290 m. What should be the magnitude of F, so that the net work done by all the forces acting on the car is +150 kJ?
I suppose the hill makes an angle of 5.0° with the horizontal.
• F acts parallel to the road and in the direction of the car's motion, so it contributes a positive amount of work, F (290 m).
• Friction does negative work on the car since it opposes the car's motion. As the car moves up the slope, the work done by friction is (-524 N) (290 m) = -151,960 J.
• The car's weight has components that act parallel and perpendicular to the road. The parallel component has a magnitude of W sin(5.0°) and points down the slope, so it contributes negative work of -(1200 kg) g sin(5.0°) ≈ 1,024.95 J. The perpendicular component of W does not do any work.
• The normal force FN also doesn't do any work to move the car up the slope because it points perpendicular to the road, so we can ignore it, too.
The net work done on the car is then
F (290 m) + (-151,960 J) + 1,024.95 J = 150,000 J
==> F (290 m) ≈ 300,935 J
==> F ≈ (300,935 J) / (290 m) ≈ 1,037.71 N

Determine the following.(a) The opponent's final velocity after the blow(b) Calculate the recoil velocity of the opponent's 5.0-kg head if hit in this manner, assuming the head does not initially transfer significant momentum to the boxer's body.
Answer:
(a) vf = 1.51 m/s
(b) vf = 36.22 m/s
Explanation:
The rate of change of momentum is equal to the force:
[tex]F = \frac{mv_f-mv_i}{t}[/tex]
[tex]Ft = m(v_f-v_i)[/tex]
where,
F = Force = 1035 N
t = time = 0.175 s
vi = initial speed = 0 m /s
vf = final speed = ?
(a)
m = mass of body = 120 kg
Therefore,
[tex](1035\ N)(0.175\ s)=(120\ kg)(v_f - 0\ m/s)\\\\v_f = \frac{181.125\ Ns}{120\ kg} \\\\[/tex]
vf = 1.51 m/s
(b)
m = mass of head = 5 kg
Therefore,
[tex](1035\ N)(0.175\ s)=(5\ kg)(v_f - 0\ m/s)\\\\v_f = \frac{181.125\ Ns}{5\ kg} \\\\[/tex]
vf = 36.22 m/s

Baseball runner with a mass of 70kg, moving at 2.7m/s and collides head-on into a shortstop with a mass of 85kg and a velocity of 1.6m/s. What will be the resultant velocity of the system when they make contact with each other
Answer:
The speed of the combined mass after the collision is 2.1 m/s.
Explanation:
mass of runner, m = 70 kg
speed of runner, u = 2.7 m/s
mass of shortstop, m' = 85 kg
speed of shortstop, u' = 1.6 m/s
Let the velocity of combined system is v.
Use conservation of momentum
Momentum before collision = momentum after collision
m u + m' u' = (m + m') v
70 x 2.7 + 85 x 1.6 = (70 + 85) v
189 + 136 = 155 v
v = 2.1 m/s

The lumberjack pulls on the sled with 40 N at an angle of 30 degrees, pulling so the sled moves at a constant velocity. 1) What is the x component of the applied force? 2) What is the y component of the applied force? 3) If the loaded sled has a mass of 65 kg, what is the magnitude of the force of gravity? 4) What is the magnitude of the normal force acting on the sled? 5) What is the coefficient of friction between the snow and the sled?
1) (40 N) cos(30°) ≈ 34.6 N
2) (40 N) sin(30°) = 20 N
3) (65 kg) g = (65 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 585 N
4) The net force on the sled acting in the vertical direction is made up of
• the sled's weight, 585 N, pointing downward
• the vertical component of the applied force, 20 N, pointing upward
• the normal force, with magnitude n, also pointing upward
The sled does not move up or down, so by Newton's second law,
∑ F = n + 20 N - 585 N = 0 ==> n = 565 N
5) The net force in the horizontal direction consists of
• the horizontal component of the applied force, 34.6 N, acting in the direction the sled's movement (call this the positive direction)
• kinetic friction, with magnitude f, pointing in the opposite and negative direction
By Newton's second law,
∑ F = 34.6 N - f = 0 ==> f ≈ 34.6 N
Now if µ is the coefficient of kinetic friction, then
f = µn ==> µ = f/n = (34.6 N) / (565 N) ≈ 0.0613
The component of the force is the effective part of that force in that direction.
What is the component of a force?The component of the force is the effective part of that force in that direction.
1) The horizontal component of a force = 40 N cos 30 degrees = 34.6 N
2) The vertical component of the force = 40 N sin 30 degrees = 20 N
3) The magnitude of the gravitational force = mg cos 30 degrees = 65 Kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos 30 degrees = 551.7 N
4) The normal force = 551.7 N
5) The coefficient of friction = F/R = 40 N /551.7 N = 0.07

A bullet of mass 0.5 kg is moving horizontally with a speed of 50 m/s when it hits a block of mass 3 kg that is at rest on a horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction of 0.2. After the collision the bullet becomes embedded in the block. How much work is being dne by bullet?
Answer:
Work done by the bullet is 612.26 J.
Explanation:
mass of bullet, m = 0.5 kg
initial velocity of bullet, u = 50 m/s
coefficient of friction = 0.2
mass of block, M = 3 kg
let the final speed of the bullet block system is v.
use conservation of momentum
Momentum of bullet + momentum of block = momentum of bullet block system
0.5 x 50 + 3 x 0 = (3 + 0.5) v
v = 7.14 m/s
let the stopping distance is
The work done is given by change in kinetic energy of bullet
initial kinetic energy of bullet, K = 0.5 x 0.5 x 50 x 50 = 625 J
Final kinetic energy of bullet, K' = 0.5 x 0.5 x 7.14 x 7.14 = 12.74 J
So, the work done by the bullet
W = 625 - 12.74 = 612.26 J

A train mass of 2000kg and speed 35 m/s collides and sticks to an identical train that is initially at rest .After the collision (a) what is the final speed of the entangled system?
(b) what is the kinetitic energy of the system? compare the final kinetic energy to initial kinetic energy?
Answer:
The system would be moving at [tex]17.5\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex].
The kinetic energy of this system would be [tex]612500\; \rm J \![/tex] after the collision.
[tex]612500\; \rm J[/tex] (same amount) of kinetic energy would be lost.
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is the product of its mass [tex]m[/tex] and its velocity [tex]v[/tex]. That is: [tex]p = m \cdot v[/tex].
Assume that external forces (e.g., friction) have no effect on this system. The total momentum of this system would stay the same before and after the collision.
Initial momentum of this system:
Moving train: [tex]\begin{aligned}p &= m \cdot v \\ &= 2000\; \rm kg \times 35\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \\ &= 70000\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}[/tex].Since the other train wasn't moving before the collision, its initial momentum would be [tex]0[/tex].Hence, the momentum of this system would be [tex]70000\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex] before the collision.
Under the assumptions, the collision would not change the momentum of this system. Hence, the momentum of this system would continue to be [tex]70000\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}[/tex] after the collision.
However, with two identical trains stuck to each other, the mass of this system would be twice that of just one train: [tex]m = 2 \times 2000\; \rm kg[/tex].
Calculate the new velocity of this system:
[tex]\begin{aligned} v &= \frac{p}{m}\\ &= \frac{70000\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}{2 \times 2000\; \rm kg} = 17.5\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}[/tex].
Calculate the kinetic energy of this system before and after the collision.
Before the collision:
[tex]\begin{aligned}& \text{KE(before)} \\ =\; & \text{KE(moving train)} + \text{KE(stationary train)}\\ =\; & \frac{1}{2} \, m(\text{one train}) \cdot (v(\text{moving train}))^{2} + 0 \\ = \; &\frac{1}{2} \times 2000 \times (35\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1})^{2} \\ = \; & 1225000\; \rm J \end{aligned}[/tex].
After the collision:
[tex]\begin{aligned}& \text{KE(after)} \\ =\; & \frac{1}{2} \, m(\text{two trains}) \cdot v^{2} \\ = \; &\frac{1}{2} \times (2\times 2000\; \rm kg) \times (17.5\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1})^{2} \\ = \; & 612500\; \rm J \end{aligned}[/tex].
Change to the kinetic energy of this system:
[tex]1225000\; \rm J - 612500\; \rm J = 612500\; \rm J[/tex].
