a) Under what circumstances would a constant force result in increasing acceleration on a body? b) Under what circumstances would a constant force result in zero acceleration on a body?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Remember the equation:

F = m*a

where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration.

If we have F constant. and we want that increases, then we can have the case where m decreases.

The mass can decrease in cases like a rocket, where as the fuel of the rocket consumes, the mass of the rocket decreases and the acceleration increases.

b) The cases where a constant force results in a constant acceleration of zero, is when the force is canceled, an example of this is the constant force of the gravity in all the objects. The objects that are in the ground are being affected by this force, but the gravitational force is canceled with the normal force of the ground. Then we have a constant force that does not cause any acceleration.

Find vertical and horizontal displacement. Please help. 10 points. Thank you.

Answers

Explanation:

horizontal velocity = 30 x Cos45 = 19.48m/s

to find horizontal displacement

horizontal displacement = horizontal velocity x timehorizontal displacement = 19.48 x 2 = 38.96m

vertical velocity = 30 x Cos45 = 22.81m/s

vertical displacement = vertical velocity x time

vertical displacement = 22.81 x 2 = 45.62m

= <Dx,Dy> = <42.426, 1.593> m to three decimal places

Explanation:

Given:

arrow shot at 30m/s and 45 degrees with horizontal.

Hit bull's eye after 2 seconds.

Find horizontal and vertical displacements.

Vx = 30cos(30) m/seconds  constant  velocity

therefore

Dx = Vx*t = 30cos(30) m/s *  2 s = 60 cos (45) = 42.426 m

Vy = 30 sin(45) m/s  

Dy = Vy*t + a(t^2) /2  

= 30*sin(45) -9.81(2^2)/2        (g is accelerating downwards, so negative)

= 1.593 m

The net displacement after 2 seconds is

D = <Dx,Dy> = <42.426, 1.593> m to three decimal places

An apple falls out of a tree from a height of 2.3 m What is the impact speed of the apple?

Answers

Answer:

6.72 m/s

Explanation:

recall that the equations of motion may be expressed as

v² = u² + 2as

where,

v = final velocity,

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s because it is stationary before it starts falling

a = acceleration (in this case because it is falling, it is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²)

s = distance traveled = 2.3m

in our case, if we neglect air resistance, then we simply substitute the known values above into the equation of motion.

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0² + 2(9.81)(2.3)

v² = 45.126

v = √45.126

v = 6.72 m/s

shes right it is 6.71 m/s

A toboggan with two riders has a total mass of 87.0 kg. A third person is pushing the toboggan with a force of 42.5 N at the top of a hill with an angle of 16°. The force of friction on the toboggan is 36.0 N. Which statement describes an accurate free-body diagram to represent the situation? (Choose one of the forces acting on the system with correct magnitude and direction.)

Answers

Options:

a) An arrow of magnitude 852.6 N points perpendicular to the slope of the hill.

b)  An arrow of magnitude 6.50 N points down the slope of the hill.    

c)  An arrow of magnitude 78.5 N points down the slope of the hill.

d)  An arrow of magnitude 852.6 N points straight down.

Answer:

d)  An arrow of magnitude 852.6 N points straight down.

Explanation:

The total mass of the two riders, m = 87.0 kg

The free body diagrams of the situation described are drawn and contained in the files attached to this solution.

Note that the weight of the toboggan will act directly downwards.

Therefore, the weight of the toboggan, W = mg

W = 87 * 9.8

W = 852.6 N

Since the arrow representing the weight of the toboggan points straight down, the correct answer is that an arrow of magnitude 852.6 N points straight down.

0.0000302 in scientific notation

Answers

The answer is 3.02 x 10^-5

Answer:

3.02x10^-5

Explanation:

A scientific notation consists of

c x 10^n

the c must be a number between 1-9, while n must be an integer.

it indicates the c being multiplied by the nth power of 10.

From 0.0000302, we need to move the decimal to after 3 so that 3.02 can be a number between 1-9. When moving the decimal point to the right side, each digit moved counts as -1 power of 10.

So, to give 3.02, we need to move the decimal by 5 digits. hence, we can conclude n = -5.

0.0000302 = 3.02x10^-5

A 500 kg satellite experiences a gravitational force of 3000 N, while moving in a circular orbit around the earth. Determine the speed of the satellite.

Answers

Answer:

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Force F = 3,000N

Mass of  satellite m = 500 kg

Mass of earth M = 5.97 × 10²⁴

Gravitational force G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹

Find:

Speed of the satellite.

Computation:

Radius r = √[GMm / F]

Radius r = √[(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )(5.97 × 10²⁴)(500) / (3,000)

Radius r = 8.146 × 10⁶ m

Speed of the satellite V = √rF / m

Speed of the satellite V = √(8.146 × 10⁶)(3,000) / 500

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

A 28-turn circular coil of radius 4.40 cm and resistance 1.00 Ω is placed in a magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The magnitude of the magnetic field varies in time according to the expression B = 0.010 0t + 0.040 0t2, where B is in teslas and t is in seconds. Calculate the induced emf in the coil at t = 4.20 s.

Answers

Answer:

ε = -0.0589V = -58.9mV

Explanation:

In order to calculate the induced emf in the coil, you use the following formula:

[tex]\epsilon=-N\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt}=-N\frac{d(SBcos\alpha)}{dt}[/tex]         (1)

ε: induced emf = ?

N: turns of the coil = 28

ФB: magnetic flux trough the coil

S: cross sectional area of the circular coil = π.r^2

r: radius of the cross sectional area of the coil = 4.40cm = 0.044m

B: magnetic field

α: angle between the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the normal to the cross area of the coil = 0°

You take into account that the area is constant respect to the magnetic field that cross it. Only the magnetic field is changing with time. The magnetic field depends on time as follow:

[tex]B(t)=0.010t+0.040t^2[/tex]           (2)

You replace the expression (2) into the equation (1), evaluate the derivative, and replace the values of the other parameters for t =4.20s:

[tex]\epsilon=-NS\frac{dB}{dt}=-NS\frac{d}{dt}[0.010t+0.040t^2]\\\\\epsilon(t)=-NS(0.010+0.080t)\\\\\epsilon(t)=-(28)(\pi(0.044m)^2)(0.010T/s+0.080T/s^2(4.20s))\\\\\epsilon(t)=-0.0589V=-58.9mV[/tex]

The induced emf in the coil is -58.9mV

a disc starts from rest with an angular acceleration completes 10 revolutions in 2 seconds. the time taken by it to complete 10 more revolution from that instant is​

Answers

Starting from rest, the disc completes [tex]\theta[/tex] revolutions after [tex]t[/tex] seconds according to

[tex]10\,\mathrm{rev}=\dfrac\alpha2(2\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=5\dfrac{\rm rev}{\mathrm s^2}[/tex]

Find the time it takes to complete 20 rev with this acceleration:

[tex]20\,\mathrm{rev}=\dfrac12\left(5\dfrac{\rm rev}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\implies t=\sqrt8\,\mathrm s\approx2.83\,\mathrm s[/tex]

Un automovil circula a 126km/h por una autopista. Su conductor observa que a 150 m delante de el, se encuentra un árbol caído que ocupa toda la calzada. Inmediatamente presiona los frenos con una aceleración de -3,5 m/s². Determinar si logra evitar el choque.

Answers

Answer:

El conductor no puede evitar el choque.

Explanation:

Primero, convierta la velocidad del conductor a m / s:

1 km/h = 0.277778 m/s

126 km/h = 126 * 0.277778 = 35 m/s

La velocidad del automóvil es de 35 m / s.

El conductor presiona los frenos con una aceleración de -3.5 m / s² para evitar un choque a 150 m por delante.

Veamos qué distancia se moverá el automóvil después de que comience a desacelerar.

Utilizaremos una de las ecuaciones de movimiento lineal de Newton:

[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2as[/tex]

donde v = velocidad final = 0 m / s (el automóvil debe detenerse)

u = velocidad inicial = 35 m / s

a = aceleración = -3.5 m / s².

s = distancia recorrida

Por lo tanto:

[tex]0 = 35^2 + (2 * -3.5 * s)\\\\=> 1225 = 7.0s\\\\s = 1225 / 7 = 175 m[/tex]

Esto significa que el automóvil se detendrá a 175 m.

Por lo tanto, a esa velocidad y aceleración, el conductor chocará contra el árbol caído porque el automóvil no podrá detenerse antes de alcanzar la posición del árbol.

what are laws of newton

Answers

Answer:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction

Explanation:

Answer:

Newton's Law of Motion

1- Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion -­ in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it.

2- Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.

3- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

If I were to fill a water bottle full of air and go up in elevation, would the water bottle expand or shrink? If I were to fill a water bottle full of air and go down in elevation, would the water bottle expand or shrink? I am at elevation 20000 I think.

Answers

Answer:

a. It would shrink

b. It would expand

Explanation:

a. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude, when we go up in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go higher. Since the atmospheric pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the atmosphere are greater than that exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle, this causes the volume of the water bottle to decrease and thus shrinks the water bottle until the pressure balances out

b. Since the water bottle is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 20000 ft, and since atmospheric pressure increases with decreasing altitude, when we go down in elevation.

The pressure exerted by the molecules of air in the water bottle seek to balance out the atmospheric pressure as we go lower. The water bottle expands until the atmospheric pressure outside equals the pressure inside the water bottle.this causes the volume of the water bottle to increase and thus expands the water bottle until the pressure balances out

A gas is held at atmospheric pressure, approximately 100kPa, and room temperature, 298K,
in a container closed with a piston. The piston is initially in a fixed position so the container has a volume of 2.0dm3.
The gas is heated to a temperature of 100∘C
What is the pressure in the container?

Answers

Answer:

125 KPa

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Initial pressure (P1) = 100 KPa

Initial temperature (T1) = 298 K

Final temperature (T2) = 100°C = 100°C + 273 = 373 K

Final pressure (P2) =..?

Since the volume of the container is fixed, the final pressure in the container can be obtained as follow:

P1/T1 = P2/T2

100/298 = P2/373

Cross multiply

298 x P2 = 100 x 373

Divide both side by 298

P2 = (100 x 373) / 298

P2 = 125.2 ≈ 125 KPa

Therefore, the final pressure in the container is approximately 125 KPa.

A 150 g egg is dropped from 3.0 meters. The egg is moving at 4.4 m/s right before it hits the ground. The egg comes to a stop in 0.072 seconds.

What is the magnitude of force that the ground exerted on the egg?

0.66 N

9.2 N

13 N

180 N

Answer is 9.2 N

Answers

Answer: Magnitude of the force exerted on the egg by the ground is 9.2N

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of egg (m) = 150g = 0.15kg

Height(h) from which egg is dropped = 3m

velocity of egg before hitting the ground (u) = 4.4m/s

Final velocity of egg (V) = 0

Time taken (t) = 0.072s

Magnitude of the force exerted on the egg by the ground can be found by applying Newton's 2nd law:

Momentum = mass × velocity

From Newton's second law:

Force = mass × change in Velocity with time ;

That is

F = m * ΔV / t

Inputting our values

F = 0.15 * (4.4 - 0) / 0.072

F = 0.15 × (4.4 / 0.072)

F = 0.15 × 61.11

F = 9.16N

F = 9.2N

9.2 N
