Answer:

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

Explanation:

This is because the only force acting on your hand as a result of the wooden block is gravitational force because no external pressure is exerted on the block.

Gravitational force is a product of mass and acceleration. It has nothing to do with the surface area of the object.

Hence, regardless of the surface of the wooden block resting on your palm, the force remains the same.

C. You will experience the same amount of force on all sides.

The normal force of weight will not differ for different positions of the block.

But the force of pressure applied to the surface of your hand is per unit area. So the side with the smallest area (3 cm x 6 cm) will exert more pressure over a smaller area.

A force acts on a 9.90 kg mobile object that moves from an initial position of to a final position of in 5.40 s. Find (a) the wo
horrorfan [7]

Given that,

Mass of object = 9.90 kg

Time =5.40 s

Suppose the force is (2.00i + 9.00j + 5.30k) N, initial position is (2.70i - 2.90j + 5.50k) m and final position is (-4.10i + 3.30j + 5.40k) m.

We need to calculate the displacement

Using formula of displacement

s=r_{2}-r_{1}

Where, r_{1} = initial position

r_{2} = final position

Put the value into the formula

s= (-4.10i + 3.30j + 5.40k)-(2.70i - 2.90j + 5.50k)

s= -6.80i+6.20j-0.1k

(a). We need to calculate the work done on the object

Using formula of work done

W=F\cdot s

Put the value into the formula

W=(2.00i + 9.00j + 5.30k)\cdot (-6.80i+6.20j-0.1k)

W=-13.6+55.8-0.53

W=41.67\ J

(b). We need to calculate the average power due to the force during that interval

Using formula of power

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

Where, P = power

W = work

t = time

Put the value into the formula

P=\dfrac{41.67}{5.40}

P=7.71\ Watt

(c). We need to calculate the angle between vectors

Using formula of angle

\theta=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{r_{1}r_{2}}{|r_{1}||r_{2}|})

Put the value into the formula

\theta=\cos^{-1}\dfrac{(-4.10i + 3.30j + 5.40k)\cdot(2.70i - 2.90j + 5.50k)}{7.54\times6.778})

\theta=79.7^{\circ}

Hence, (a). The work done on the object by the force in the 5.40 s interval is 41.67 J.

(b). The average power due to the force during that interval is 7.71 Watt.

(c).  The angle between vectors is 79.7°

Please help me to do this problem
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

we got time and velocity over time.

so the distance is again the area underneath the graph

for a triangle with known base and height it's

4*10 / 2

distance traveled is 20

deceleration occurs when velocity decreases. that happens from t=2 till t=4

in 2 time-units we loose 10 units of velocity, so we decelerate by 5 units per 1 time

a (from t=2 to t=4) = -5v/t

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

a) Temperatura, b) Temperature, c)    Constant , d)  None of these , e) Gibbs enthalpy and free energy (G)

Explanation:

a) the expression for ideal gases is PV = nRT

     Temperature

b) The internal energy is E = K T

      Temperature

c)  S = ΔQ/T

In an isolated system ΔQ is zero, entropy  is constant

       Constant

d) all parameters change when changing status

        None of these

e) Gibbs enthalpy and free energy
