$E_{total} = KE + PE \\ KE = 500 J \\ PE = 1500 J \\ E_{total} = 500J + 1500J \\ E_{total} = 2000J$

A small 18 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 1 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?

In-s [12.5K]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²).

A Physicist in the canoe, or on a raft floating downriver next to the canoe, will say that the canoe's kinetic energy is zero.

A Physicist on the riverbank, watching the canoe drift by at 1 m/s, will say that its kinetic energy is 9 Joules.

They're both correct.

A pencil has a density of 0.875 g/ml. It has a volume of 4.0 ml. Find the mass

loris [4]

Answer:

To find the mass using density and volume we just multiply them against each other which causes ml to cancel and just leaves us with grams which represents how much the item weights.

$mass=density*volume$

$mass=0.875\frac{g}{ml}*4.0\ ml$

$mass=3.5\ g$

Therefore, our final answer is that our pencil weight 3.5 grams

In models of magnetic and electric fields, why are field vectors depicted by arrows?

taurus [48]

The arrows in models of magnetic and electric fields show both their magnitude and direction.

In Physics, a vector refers to a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Hence, a vector always points in a given direction. The direction in which the arrow points is the direction of the vector in space.

In models of magnetic and electric fields, field vectors depicted by arrows because they represent both their magnitude and direction. The length of the arrow shows magnitude.

A shopper pushes a 5.32 kg grocery cart

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

$\text { acceleration of the cart is } 10.94 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Explanation:

According to “Newton's second law”

“Force” is “mass” times “acceleration”, or F = m× a. This means an object with a larger mass needs a stronger force to be moved along at the same acceleration as an object with a small mass

Force = mass × acceleration

$\text { Acceleration }=\frac{\text { force }}{\text { mass }}$

Given that,

Mass = 5.32 kg

$\text { Force }=12.7 \mathrm{N} \text { forces at }-28.7^{\circ}$

$x=-28.7^{\circ}$

F = 12.7N

Normal force = mg + F sinx,

“m” being the object's "mass",

“g” being the "acceleration of gravity",

“x” being the "angle of the cart"

$\mathrm{g}=9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\text { (g is referred to as the acceleration of gravity. Its value is } 9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^ 2 \text { on Earth })$

To find normal force substitute the values in the formula,

Normal force = 5.32 × 9.8 + 12.7 × sin(-28.7)

Normal force = 52.136 + 12.7 × 0.480

Normal force = 52.136 + 6.096

Normal force = 58.232 N

<u>Acceleration of the cart</u>:

$\text { Acceleration }=\frac{\text {Normal force}}{\text { mass }}$

$\text { Acceleration }=\frac{58.232}{5.32}$

$\text { Acceleration }=10.94 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

$\text { Therefore, "acceleration of the cart" is } 10.94 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
