barxatty [35]1 year ago

<u>To find the mass, with only the weight</u>:

  ⇒ must consider the relationship between the mass and weight

     ⇒ (<em>in other words</em>) we must find the equation that has both the

         mass and weight

<u>Based on our physics knowledge, we know</u>:

 Weight=mass*gravitational_. acceleration

  • Weight: 147N
  • Gravitational Acceleration: 9.8 m/s²

<u>Now let's plug in the values, and solve</u>:

 147N = mass*9.8_.m/s^2\\mass = 15_.kg

<u>Answer: 15 kg</u>

Hope that helps!

<em>*as a note, if you use the gravitational acceleration as 10m/s², then the answer would be 14.7 kg</em>

zimovet [89]

Answer:

 λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m,   UV laser

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the expression

         a sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

         tan θ = y / L

as in this phenomenon the angles are small

        tan θ = \frac{sin \ \theta}{cos \ \theta} = sin θ

        sin θ = y / L

we substitute

      a y / L = m  λ

let's apply this equation to the initial data

       a  0.04 / L = 1 600 10⁻⁹

       a / L = 1.5 10⁻⁵

now they tell us that we change the laser and we have y = 0.04 m for m = 2

      a 0.04 / L = 2  λ

       a / L = 50  λ

we solve the two expression is

         1.5 10⁻⁵ = 50  λ

          λ = 1.5 10⁻⁵ / 50

          λ = 3 10⁻⁷ m

A sample of a gas has a volume of 639 cm3 when the pressure is 75.9 kPa. What is the volume of the gas when the pressure is incr
const2013 [10]

Answer:

388 cm^3

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:

pV=const.

which can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

In our case, we have:

p_1 = 75.9 kPa is the initial pressure

V_1 = 639 cm^3 is the initial volume

p_2 = 125 kPa is the final pressure

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

v_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(75.9)(639)}{125}=388 cm^3

An elevator has a mass of 1000 Kg. What force is needed to accelerate it upward at a rate of 2 m/s/s?
zubka84 [21]

The force needed to accelerate an elevator upward at a rate of 2 m / s^{2} is 2000 N or 2 kN.

<u>Explanation: </u>

As per Newton's second law of motion, an object's acceleration is directly proportional to the external unbalanced force acting on it and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

As the object given here is an elevator with mass 1000 kg and the acceleration is given as 2 m / s^{2}, the force needed to accelerate it can be obtained by taking the product of mass and acceleration.

                  \text {Force}=\text {Mass} \times \text {Acceleration}

                  \text { Force }=1000 \times 2=2000 \mathrm{N}=2 \text { kilo Newon }

So 2000 N or 2 kN amount of force is needed to accelerate the elevator upward at a rate of 2 m / s^{2}.

If the mass of an object is 8 kg and its momentum is -80 kgm/s, what is its velocity?
Dimas [21]

An object's momentum is the product of its mass and its velocity:

p = mv

p is its momentum, m is its mass, and v is its velocity.

Given values:

p = -80kg×m/s

m = 8kg

Plug in these values and solve for v:

-80 = 8v

v = -10m/s
