I’ve answered this problem before and there were 2 parts in this problem.

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>A.    </span><span>Vf = Vi + Vex*ln(Mi / Mf) </span><span>
<span>0.002 * 3e8m/s = 0 + 2000m/s * ln(Mi / Mf) </span>
<span>300 = ln(Mi / Mf) </span>
<span>1.9e130 = Mi / Mf </span></span>

 

<span>B.    </span><span>4000m/s = 2000m/s * ln(Mi / Mf) </span><span>
<span>2 = ln(Mi / Mf) </span>
<span>7.389 = Mi / Mf </span>
<span>Mf = Mi / 7.389 = 0.135*Mi<span> </span></span></span>

Fofino [41]
Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:

V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³

Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:

2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria

Consider a container of oxygen gas at a temperature of 23°C that is 1.00 m tall. Compare the gravitational potential energy of a
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Yes, it is reasonable to neglect it.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, a single molecule of oxygen weights 32 g (diatomic oxygen) thus, the mass of kilograms is (consider Avogadro's number):

m=1molec*\frac{1mol}{6.022x10^{23}molec} *\frac{32g}{1mol}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}=5.31x10^{-26}kg

After that, we compute the potential energy 1.00 m above the reference point:

U=mhg=5.31x10^{-26}kg*1.00m*9.8\frac{m}{s^2}=5.2x10^{-25}J

Then, we compute the average kinetic energy at the specified temperature:

K=\frac{3}{2}\frac{R}{Na}T

Whereas N_A stands for the Avogadro's number for which we have:

K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}}{6.022x10^{23}/mol}*(23+273)K\\ \\K=6.13x10^{-21}J

In such a way, since the average kinetic energy energy is about 12000 times higher than the potential energy, it turns out reasonable to neglect the potential energy.

Regards.

NEED ANSWER ASAP!!! Angela has a bucket of mass 2 kg tied to a string. She places a drinking glass of mass 0.5 kg in the bucket.
Schach [20]

a. The free-body diagram for the glass when it is at the top of the circle is attached below.

b. The equation for the net force on the glass at the top of the circle in terms of w, Fn, m, v, and r is mg x g + N -  mg x Vtop² /R =0

c. The glass will fall out of the bucket if the normal force between the glass and bucket equals zero. The speed with which she spin the bucket to prevent this from happening is 3.83 m/s.

d. The string will break if the tension on it is more than 100 N. The range of speeds can  prevent the string from breaking is 3.83< Vtop<4.99 m/s

<h3>What is Net force?</h3>

When two or more forces are acting on the system of objects, then the to attain equilibrium, net force must be zero.

Given, Angela has a bucket of mass 2 kg tied to a string. She places a drinking glass of mass 0.5 kg in the bucket. She spins the bucket in a vertical circle of radius 1.5 m. She must swing the bucket to keep the glass from falling out.

a. The free body diagram of the bucket and glass is attached below.

b. Bucket will undergo centrifugal force

Fb = mVtop² /R

From the equilibrium of forces, we have

For bucket,

T +mb xg - N =  mb x Vtop² /R..............(1)

For glass,

mg x g + N =  mg x Vtop² /R..............(2)

Thus, this is the net force equation on the glass.

c. On adding both the equations. we have

T + (mb + mg) xg = (mb + mg) Vtop² /R

Substituting the values, T = 0 and from the question, we get

0 + (2+0.5) 9.81 = (2+0.5)(Vtop²/0.5)

Vtop = 3.83 m/s

Thus, the speed of spin to prevent glass from falling out is 3.83 m/s

d. The string will break if the tension on it is more than 100 N

100 + (2+0.5) 9.81 = (2+0.5)(Vtop²/0.5)

Vtop = 4.99 m/s

Thus, the range of velocity is  3.83< Vtop<4.99 m/s

10. Hamilton How long does it take Lewis travelling at 156 m.p.h to cover 16 miles?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Hello!

Lewis is travelling at 165 mph, which means miles per hour, this says that he does 165 miles in one hour.

We want to know how much time takes to cover 16 miles.

this can be calculated as the quotient of the distance and the velocity; this is:

t = \frac{16 mi}{165 mi/h} = 0.096 h

if we want to write this in minutes, then:

we know that one hour has 60 minutes, then 0.096 hours has:

0.096h*60mins/1h = 5.8 minutes.

then Lewis needs 5.8 minutes in order to cover 16 miles if his speed is 156 miles per hour.

In SI units, what is the magnitude the net force acting on a 1,152 kg car that accelerates uniformly along a straight line from
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Fnet = 14515.2 Newton

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;

Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Where;

  • Fnet is the net force.
  • Fapp is the applied force.
  • Fg is the force due to gravitation.

Given the following data;

Mass = 1,152 kg

Initial velocity, u = 3m/s

Final velocity, v = 17m/s

Time, t = 5 seconds

To find the magnitude of the net force;

First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the car.

Acceleration = (v-u)/t

Acceleration = (17 - 3)/5

Acceleration = 14/5

Acceleration = 2.8m/s

To find the applied force;

Fapp = mass * acceleration

Fapp = 1,152 * 2.8

Fapp = 3225.6 N

Next, we would find the force exerted on the car due to gravity.

Fg = mass * acceleration due to gravity

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

Fg = 1152 * 9.8

Fg = 11289.6N

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Fnet = 3225.6 + 11289.6

Fnet = 14515.2 Newton
