In the physics lab, a cart with a mass of 1 kg is found to have an acceleration of 50 cm/s^2 when it is pulled by a string with

clay hanging off the ramp. If the mass of the cart is doubled to 2 kg, what will the new acceleration of cart be?

Answer:

a = 25 cm/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the cart, m = 1 Kg

The acceleration of the cart, a = 50 cm/s²

The string with clay hanging off the ramp exerts a force, F on the cart (neglecting the tension in the string)

                                   F = m x a

                                      = 1 Kg X 50 cm/s²

                                      = 50 Kg cm/s²

Hence the force exerted by the clay hanging off the ramp on the cart, F = 50 Kg cm/s²

If the mass of the cart is doubled '2 Kg', the same magnitude of the force acts on the cart.

Therefore, from the equation,

                                   F = m x a

                             50 Kg cm/s² = 2 Kg x a

                                       a =  50 Kg cm/s² / 2 Kg

                                          = 25 cm/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the cart is, a = 25 cm/s²

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

diameter d=20 \mu m

density \rho =1300 kg/m^3

frequency \nu =150 Hz

Length of silk strand L=14 cm

Velocity in the string is as follows

\nu =\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

The expression for Fundamental Frequency

f=\frac{\nu }{2l}

f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}

f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{T}{\frac{m}{l}}}

f=\frac{1}{2l}\times \sqrt{\frac{Tl}{\rho V}}

Squaring

f^2=\frac{1}{4l^2}\times \frac{Tl}{\rho V}

T=4\rho \cdot A\cdot l^2\cdot f^2

T=4\times 1300\times \frac{\pi }{4}(20\times 10^{-6})^2\times (0.14)^2\times 150^2

T=7.2\times 10^{-4} N

If a person uses about 4 calories to fuel a minute of walking, and it takes about 20 minutes to walk a mile, approximately how m
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

43.75 miles must a person walk to utilize the energy in (“burn”) a pound of fat.

Explanation:

3,500 calories are present in 1 pound of the fat.

Thus, given that:

<u>4 calories are burnt in 1 minute of walking.</u>

So,

1 calories are burnt in 1/4 minute of walking.

Or,

<u>1 calories are burnt in 0.25 minute of walking.</u>

Thus,

<u>3500 calories are burnt in 0.25*3500 minutes of walking</u>

Minutes of walking needed to burn 3500 calories = 875 minutes.

Also, given that:

<u>20 minutes of walking covers 1 mile.</u>

<u>1 minute of walking covers 1/20 mile.</u>

So,

<u>875 minutes of walking covers (1/20)*875 mile.</u>

<u>43.75 miles must a person walk to utilize the energy in (“burn”) a pound of fat.</u>

noname [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The part of the electromagnetic spectrum usually used for communication is of  radio waves, infrared waves and microwaves.

But most common waves used in communication are radio waves.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • Radio waves are used to transmit television and radio programmes.
  • While microwaves are used for mobile phones and Wi-Fi.
  • Radio waves are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum longer than infrared light.
  • Radio waves have frequencies as high as 300 gigahertz (GHz) to as low as 30 hertz (Hz).
