What is the algebraic sign (+ or -) for designating the distance and velocity vectors for an object in free fall?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

positive- downward

negative- upward

Explanation:

A vector is a quantity described by a magnitude and a direction.

The algebraic sign, positive (+) and negative (-) are used to designate the distance and velocity vectors for an object in free fall where positive represents downward  and negative represents an upward movement of the object.

Hence, the correct answer is "positive- downward  and negative- upward".

Answers

Answer:

 F = 1.68 N

Explanation:

Let's solve this exercise in parts.

Let's use the concept of conservation of the mechanical nerve

initial

    Em₀ = 500 J

The energy is totally kinetic

     Em₀ = K = ½ m v₀²

     v₀ = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2 Em_{o} }{m} }[/tex]

     v₀ = √ (2 500/32)

     v₀ = 5.59 m / s

now with kinematics we can find a space

      v² = v₀² - 2 a x

the negative sign is because the body is stopping

       a =[tex]( \frac{v_{o}^{2} - v^{2} }{2x} )[/tex]  

let's calculate

       a = (5.59² - 5.1²) / 2 50  

       a = 0.0524 m / s²

Finally let's use Newton's second law

     F = ma

     F = 32 0.0524

     F = 1.68 N

What is Collision?

A collision is any situation in which two or more bodies quickly exert forces on one another. Despite the fact that the most common usage of the word "collision" refers to situations in which two or more objects clash violently, the scientific usage of the word makes no such assumptions.

The following are a few instances of physical encounters that scientists might classify as collisions. Legs of an insect are said to collide with a leaf when it falls on one.

Every contact of a cat's paws with the ground while it strides across a lawn is seen as a collision, as is every brush of its fur with a blade of grass.

Therefore, Ball 1 has a mass of 0.5 kilogram and an initial velocity of 1.00 meter/second. Ball 2 has a mass of 1.5 kg and an initial velocity of 0.00 meters/second.

Galaxy B moves away from galaxy A at 0.577 times the speed of light. Galaxy C moves away from galaxy B in the same direction at 0.731 times the speed of light. How fast does galaxy C recede from galaxy A?

Answers

Answer:

The value is  [tex]p = 0.7556 c[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed at which galaxy B moves away from galaxy A is  [tex]v = 0.577c[/tex]

Here c is the speed of light with value  [tex]c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s[/tex]

     The speed at which galaxy C moves away from galaxy B is  [tex]u = 0.731 c[/tex]

Generally from the equation of  relative speed we have that  

     [tex]u = \frac{p - v}{ 1 - \frac{ p * v}{c^2} }[/tex]

Here p is the velocity at which galaxy C recede from galaxy A so

     [tex]0.731c = \frac{p - 0.577c }{ 1 - \frac{ p * 0.577c}{c^2} }[/tex]

=>   [tex]0.731c [1 - \frac{ p * 0.577}{c}] = p - 0.577c[/tex]

=>   [tex]0.731c - 0.4218 p = p - 0.577c[/tex]

=>   [tex]0.731c + 0.577c = p + 0.4218 p[/tex]

=>   [tex]1.308 c = 1.731 p[/tex]

Compute the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas. The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol.

Answers

Answer:

724.3J/Kg.K

Explanation:

CHECK THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW

Compute the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas.and compare with specific heat of liquid water. The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol.

The specific heat capacity can be computed by using expression below

c= CV/M

Where c= specific heat capacity

M= molar mass

CV= molar hear capacity

Nitrogen is a diatomic element, the Cv can be related to gas constant with 5/2R

Where R= 8.314J/mol.k

Molar mass= 28 ×10^-3Kg/mol

If we substitute to the expression, we have

c= (5R/2)/(M)

=5R/2 × 1/M

=(5×8.314) /(2×28 ×10^-3)

=724.3J/Kg.K

Hence, the specific heat capacity at constant volume of nitrogen (N2) gas is

724.3J/Kg.K

The specific heat of liquid water is about 4182 J/(K kg) which is among substance with high specific heat, therefore specific heat of Nitrogen gas is 724.3J/Kg.K which is low compare to that of liquid water.

How was the Periodic Table of Elements developed and how are the elements arranged on it?

Answers

Answer:

In 1869 Russian chemist Dimitri Mendeleev started the development of the periodic table, arranging chemical elements by atomic mass. He predicted the discovery of other elements, and left spaces open in his periodic table for them.

Explanation:

Answer: Mendeleev first published a table of elements arranged according to increasing atomic masses. He noticed that some elements near each other had differing properties, but elements in vertical columns had similar properties. Moseley then rearranged the table according to atomic numbers and this eliminated the discrepancies found in Mendeleev’s attempt. Today’s version of the periodic table displays elements in order based on their atomic number; the atomic number indicates the number of protons within the atoms of a particular element. Rows are called periods and columns are called groups. Elements in the same group have similar properties. Elements are grouped into nine categories: noble gases, halogens, nonmetals, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, transition metals, other metals, metalloids, and rare earth elements.

-Find the hang time for the projectile.
-Find the initial speed of a projectile.
-What are the x and y components of the projectile’s velocity the moment before it strikes the ground?
-At what speed will the projectile strike the ground?

Answers

Answer:

a)t  = 1,43 s

b) V = 10,49 m/s

c) V₀ₓ = 10,49 m/s   ;    V₀y = 14,01 m/s

d) Vf = 17,5 m/s

Explanation:

According to the problem statement

V₀ = V₀ₓ    and  V₀y = 0

And at the end of the movement t = ?  the distance y = 10 m

Therefore as

h = V₀y - (1/2)*g*t²

Vertical distance y = h = 10 = V₀y*t - 0,5 (-9,8)*t²

10 = 4,9*t²

t² = 10/4,9    ⇒  t² = 2,04 s

t  = 1,43 s

a) 1,43 s is the time of movement

b) V₀ = V₀ₓ        V₀y = 0     and  V₀ₓ = Vₓ     ( constant )

Just before touching the ground, the horizontal distance is

hd = 15 = Vₓ * t

Then  15 /1,43 = Vₓ = V₀ₓ

Vₓ = 10,49 m/s

Then initial speed is V = 10,49 m/s    since V₀y = 0

Vf² = Vₓ² + Vy²

Vyf = V₀y - g*t

Vyf =  0 - 9,8 *1,43

Vyf = - 14,01 m/s

And finally the speed when the projectile strike the ground is:

Vf² = Vₓ² + Vy²

Vf = √ (10,49)² + (14,01)²

Vf = 17,50 m/s

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m. The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N. How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator?​

Answers

Given :

A mover slides a refrigerator weighing 650 N at a constant velocity across the floor a distance of 8.1 m.

The force of friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 230 N.

To Find :

How much work has been performed by the mover on the refrigerator.

Solution :

Since, refrigerator is moving with constant velocity.

So, force applied by the mover is also 230 N ( equal to force of friction ).

Now, work done in order to move the refrigerator is  :

[tex]W = Force\times distance\\\\W = 230 \times 8.1\ N\ m\\\\W = 1863\ N\ m[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

A sled is pulled with a force of 540 N at an angle of 40° with the horizontal. What are the horizontal and vertical components of this force?

Answers

Answer:

Fx = 467.65N

Fy = 270N

Explanation:

Given

Force = 540N

angle of inclination = 40 degree

Horizontal component Fx = Fcos 30

Fx = 540cos30

Fx = 540(0.8660)

Fx = 467.65N

Hence the horizontal component is 467.65N

Vertical component Fy = Fsin 30

Fy = 540sin30

Fy = 540(0.5)

Fy = 270N

Hence the vertical component is 270N

c) spontaneous reactions are always endothermic.
d) in a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases.

Answers

Answer:

in a spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases.

Explanation:

Entropy is a measure of of the degree of  randomness or disorderliness in a system.

The second law of thermodynamics can be stated as follows; "in any spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases."  

The universe here refers to the system's disorder and the disorder of the surroundings.  Therefore, a spontaneous process can occur, in which the entropy of the system decreases, only if the entropy increases in the surroundings.

For instance, when ice freezes, the entropy of liquid water decreases, that is, the entropy of the system decreases. However, heat is given off to the surroundings and the entropy of the surroundings increases. This is an obvious expression of this law.
