The acceleration of a body in a gravitational field is independent of its mass. Both the stones will fall with the same acceleration through the same height and hence they will strike the ground simultaneously.

Explain, briefly, what the electrical field inside a microwave oven does to heat food.

yarga [219]

Answer:

Inside the strong metal box, there is a microwave generator called a magnetron. When you start cooking, the magnetron takes electricity from the power outlet and converts it into high-powered, 12cm (4.7 inch) radio waves. Thus the microwaves pass their energy onto the molecules in the food, rapidly heating it up.May 3, 2018

A force of 5N and a force of 8N act to the same point and are inclined at 45degree to each other. Find the magnitude and directi

Alex_Xolod [135]

Magnitude: 12.1 N.
Direction: 17.0° to the 8 N force.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Refer to the diagram attached (created with GeoGebra). Consider the 5 N force in two directions: parallel to the 8 N force and normal to the 8 N force.

$\displaystyle F_{\text{1, Parallel}} = F_1 \cdot \cos{45^\textdegree} = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}$ .
$\displaystyle F_{\text{1, Normal}} = F_1 \cdot \sin{45^\textdegree} = \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}$ .

The sum of forces on each direction will be the resultant force on that direction:

Resultant force parallel to the 8 N force: $(8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})\;\text{N}$ .
Resultant force normal to the 8 N force: $\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}\;\text{N}$ .

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the magnitude of the resultant force.

$\displaystyle \Sigma F = \sqrt{{(8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})}^2 + {(\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2})}^2} = 12.1\;\text{N}$ (3 sig. fig.).

The size of the angle between the resultant force and the 8 N force can be found from the tangent value of the angle. Tangent of the angle:

$\displaystyle \dfrac{\Sigma F_\text{Normal}}{\Sigma F_\text{Parallel}} = \dfrac{8 + \dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\dfrac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}} \approx 0.306491$ .

Find the size of the angle using inverse tangent:

$\displaystyle \arctan{ \dfrac{\Sigma F_\text{Normal}}{\Sigma F_\text{Parallel}}} = \arctan{0.306491} = 17.0\textdegree$ .

In other words, the resultant force is 17.0° relative to the 8 N force.

If a cup of coffee has temperature 95∘C95∘C in a room where the temperature is 20∘C,20∘C, then, according to Newton's Law of Coo

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

T = 76.39°C

Explanation:

given,

coffee cup temperature = 95°C

Room temperature= 20°C

expression

$T( t ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}$

temperature at t = 0

$T( 0 ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-0}{50}}$

T(0) = 95°C

temperature after half hour of cooling

$T( t ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}$

t = 30 minutes

$T( 30 ) = 20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-30}{50}}$

$T( 30 ) = 20 + 75 \times 0.5488$

T(30) = 61.16° C

average of first half hour will be equal to

$T = \dfrac{1}{30-0}\int_0^30(20 + 75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}})\ dt$

$T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20t - \dfrac{75 e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}}{\dfrac{1}{50}})]_0^30$

$T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20t - 3750e^{\dfrac{-t}{50}}]_0^30$

$T = \dfrac{1}{30}[(20\times 30 - 3750 e^{\dfrac{-30}{50}} + 3750]$

$T = \dfrac{1}{30}[600 - 2058.04 + 3750]$

T = 76.39°C

A girl kicks a blue ball with a velocity of 20.0 m/s at 65.0o. How long is it in the air?

34kurt

Explanation:

t = usin©/g

Where t is the time to reach the maximum height

Time spent in air is T = 2t

Hence, T = 2usin©/g

T = 2 x 20 x sin 65°/ 9.8

T = 3.69s
