A cart with an unknown mass is at rest on one side of a track. A student must find the mass of the cart by using Newton’s second

law. The student attaches a force probe to the cart and pulls it while keeping the force constant. A motion detector rests on the opposite end of the track to record the acceleration of the cart as it is pulled. The student uses the measured force and acceleration values and determines that the cart’s mass is 0.4kg . When placed on a balance, the cart’s mass is found to be 0.5kg . Which of the following could explain the difference in mass?
Answer choices:

A) The track was not level and was tilted slightly downward.

B) The student did not pull the cart with a force parallel to the track.

C) The wheels contain bearings that were rough and caused a significant amount of friction.

D) The motion sensor setting was incorrect. The student set it up so that motion away from the sensor would be the negative direction.

Which compound has the highest boiling point? Explain your reasoning. CH4 or CH3CH3
kogti [31]

The bigger molecule has more interactions and hence the higher b.p. CH3CH2OCH2CH3 is a bigger molecule than CH4 and CH3CH3, so has more dispersion forces. It also has dipole-dipole forces due to the polarised C-O bonds. CH3OH and CH3CH2OH have hydrogen bonds due to the very electronegative O atom bonded to the H atom

God bless

Se coloca agua en un recipiente de aluminio y se pone a calentar en una estufa que le suministra 230 kj, lo cual hace que la tem
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

32 °C.

Explanation:

Hola.

En este caso, debemos entender que la relación entre el calor y la temperatura viene dada por:

Q=mCp\Delta T

De este modo, dado que estamos estudiando la misma sustancia (agua) con masa constante, la relación calor-temperatura es lineal y directamente proporcional, por tal razón, si se duplica el calor suministrado, la temperatura también será duplicada, de modo que:

\Delta T_{nuevo}=2*16\°C\\\\\Delta T_{nuevo}=32\°C

¡Saludos!

Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.
Vesnalui [34]

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}

ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}

At the same time we have that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.
