The mass of the object affects the force, as shown in the equation f=ma or force = mass times acceleration. The stone with the higher mass would emit a greater force on the water, causing it to be displaced and wave. the stones would actually fall at the same speed.

The impact of the heavy stone would produce waves with a higher amplitude because the stone would pick up more speed while falling.

A wall clock has a minute hand with a length of 0.55 m and an hour hand with a length of 0.26 m. Take the center of the clock as
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock 1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of minute hand = 0.55 m

Length of hour hand = 0.26 m

The time taken by the minute hand to complete one revelation is

T= 3600\ sec

We need to calculate the angular frequency

Using formula of angular frequency

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}

Put the value into the formula

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{3600}

\omega=0.001745\ rad/s

We need to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock

Using formula of acceleration

a=r\omega^2

Put the value into the formula

a=0.55\times(0.001745)^2

a=1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2

Hence, The magnitude of the acceleration of the tip of the minute hand of the clock 1.675\times10^{-6}\ m/s^2.

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. If this is true then why are we always
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The second law of thermodynamics states in an isolated system, the entropy (the amount of thermal energy that cannot be converted into mechanical work, also known as the amount of disorder) always increases, therefore, an isolated system always require an external input (new sources) of energy for there to be orderliness or for the available energy of the system to remain constant or increase

A student pushes a 2.85 kg cart causing it to accelerate at a rate of 4.9 m/s squared .What amount of force must the student hav
uysha [10]
In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.

The force of attraction between a -165.0 uC and +115.0 C charge is 6.00 N. What is the separation between these two charges in m
Simora [160]

Answer:

  • The distance between the charges is 5,335.026 m

Explanation:

To obtain the forces between the particles, we can use Coulomb's Law in scalar form, this is, the force between the particles will be:

F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}

where k is Coulomb's constant, q_1 and q_2 are the charges and d is the distance between the charges.

Working a little the equation, we can take:

d^2 = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{F}

d = \sqrt{ k \frac{q_1 q_2}{F}}

And this equation will give us the distance between the charges. Taking the values of the problem

k= 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \\q_1 = 165.0 \mu C \\q_2 = 115.0 C\\F=- 6.00

(the force has a minus sign, as its attractive)

d = \sqrt{ 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \frac{(165.0 \mu C) (115.0 C)}{- 6.00 \ N}}

d = \sqrt{ 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \frac{(165.0 \mu C) (115.0 C)}{- 6.00 \ N}}

d = \sqrt{ 28,462,500 \ m^2}}

d = 5,335.026 m

And this is the distance between the charges.
