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.

Two ropes have equal length and are stretched the same way. The speed of a pulse on rope 1 is 1.4 times the speed on rope 2. Par

Answer:

m1/m2 = 0.51

Explanation:

First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:

V = √F/u

This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.

the value of "u" is:

u = m/L

Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.

Now, for the rod 1:

V1 = √F/u1 (1)

rod 2:

V2 = √F/u2 (2)

Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:

1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)

Replacing (2) in (3):

1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)

Now, let's solve the equation 4:

[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1

1.96(F/u2) =F/u1

1.96F = F*u2/u1

1.96 = u2/u1 (5)

Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:

1.96 = m2/L / m1/L

1.96 = m2/m1 (6)

But we need m1/m2 so:

1.96m1 = m2

m1/m2 = 1/1.96

m1/m2 = 0.51

Solve the question that follows using the equation for the conversion of Celsius to Fahrenheit. F=95(C)+32 On February 9, 1934,
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Buffalo, NY

Explanation:

Temperature in Buffalo, NY = -29°C

In order to compare the temperatures we need to convert them to the same scale.

F=\dfrac{9}{5}C+32\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{9}{5}\times -29+32\\\Rightarrow F=-20.2

So, the temperature in Buffalo, NY was -20.2°F and the temperature in Anchorage, AL was 19°F.

Hence, it was colder in Buffalo, NY than in Anchorage, AL.
