A railroad car moves under a grain elevator at a constant speed of 3.20 m/s. Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min.

What is the magnitude of the force needed to keep the car moving constant speed if friction is negligible?

Answer:

F = 768 N                  

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the elevator, v = 3.2 m/s

Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min, \dfrac{dm}{dt}=240\ kg/min = 4\ kg/s

We need to find the magnitude of force needed to keep the car moving constant speed. The relation between the momentum and the force is given by :

F=\dfrac{dp}{dt}

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}+v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

Since, the speed is constant,

F=m\dfrac{dv}{dt}

F=v\dfrac{dm}{dt}

F=3.2\times 240

F = 768 N

So, the magnitude of force need to keep the car is 768 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

During lightning strikes from a cloud to the ground, currents as high as 2.50×10^4 Amps can occur and last for about 40.0 micros
dangina [55]

Answer:

1 C

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current is defined as

I=\frac{q}{t}

where

I is the current

q is the amount of charge transferred

t is the time interval during which the charge is transferred

For the lightning in this problem, we have

I=2.50\cdot 10^4 A is the current

t=40.0 \mu s = 40.0\cdot 10^{-6} s is the time interval

Solving the formula for q, we find the amount of charge transferred:

q=I t = (2.50\cdot 10^4 A)(40.0\cdot 10^{-6}s)=1 C

The instruction booklet for your pressure cooker indicates that its highest setting is 12.3 psi . you know that standard atmosph
zmey [24]
<span>118 C The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is useful in calculating the boiling point of a liquid at various pressures. It is: Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) where Tb = Temperature boiling R = Ideal Gas Constant (8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ) P = Pressure of interest Hvap = Heat of vaporization of the liquid T0, P0 = Temperature and pressure at a known point. The temperatures are absolute temperatures. We know that water boils at 100C at 14.7 psi. Yes, it's ugly to be mixing metric and imperial units like that. But since we're only interested in relative pressure differences, it's safe enough. So P0 = 14.7 P = 14.7 + 12.3 = 27 T0 = 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 And for water, the heat of vaporization per mole is 40660 J/mol Let's substitute the known values and calculate. Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) Tb = 1/(1/373.15 K - 8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ln(27/14.7)/40660 J/mol) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K ln(1.836734694)/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K 0.607989372/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 5.055103194 1/K /40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 0.000124326 1/K) Tb = 1/(0.002555561 1/K) Tb = 391.3034763 K Tb = 391.3034763 K - 273.15 Tb = 118.1534763 C Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 118 C</span>

Why would a soccer ball keep going forever without physics? Pls help and explain why
Pani-rosa [81]
A soccer ball would keep moving forever without physics, because without force to act upon the soccer ball, it could, or will not be able to stop the acceleration. And force is a factor in physics.
