Answer:
(a)
(b)
(c)
Explanation:
(a) The total mechanical energy of the system is conserved.
(b) The conservation of energy states
(c) As explained in part (a) the total mechanical energy of the system is equal to the initial kinetic energy, since the potential energy of the system at that point is zero.
Answer:
W = 30 N
Explanation:
Applying the summation of torques about the wedge for equilibrium, taking the clockwise direction as negative. Since the ruler is balanced horizontally about the wedge. Therefore, the summation of all torques acting about the wedge must be equal to zero.
<u>W = 30 N</u>
Answer:
(a) W= 44N
(b)W= 31.65 N
Explanation:
Data
T=44 N : Maximum force that the rope can withstand without breaking
Newton's second law:
∑F = m*a Formula (1)
∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)
m : mass in kilograms (kg)
a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)
(a) We apply the formula (1) at constant speed , then, a=0
W: heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically
∑F = 0
T-W =0
W = T
W= 44N
(b) We apply the formula (1) , a= 1.26 m/s²
W: heaviest fish that can be pulled up vertically
W= m*g
m= W/g
g= 9.8 m/s² : acceleration due to gravity
∑F = 0
T-W = m*a
T= W+(W/g)*a
44=W*(1+1/9.8)* (1.26 )
44= W* 1.39
W= 44/1.39
W= 31.65 N
Sample Response: liquids flow freely, they take the shape of the container they are in, but have a definite volume. Like liquids, the shape of a gas changes with the container. This is because the atoms in a gas move rapidly and freely to fill any available space. Unlike liquids, the volume of a gas changes depending on the container it is in.
