A stack of books rests on a level frictionless surface. A force F acts on the stack, and it accelerates at 3.0 m/s2. A 1.0 kg bo

ok is then added to the stack. The same force is applied, and now the stack accelerates at 2.0 m/s2.

Answer:

m1 = 2 kg

m2 = 3kg

Explanation:

The force can be getting by

F = m * a

F1 = F2

a1 = 3.0 m/s^2

a2 = 2.0 m/s^2

The force F1=F2 because the force is applied so get the a2 acceleration

m1 * a1 = m2 * a2

m2 = m1 + 1kg

m1 *(3.0 m/s^2) = m2* (2.0 m/s^2)

m1 *(3.0 m/s^2) = (m1 + 1kg) * (2.0 m/s^2)

m1*(3.0m/s^2-2.0m/s^2)=2 kg*m/s^2

Solve to find the mass

m1 m/s^2= 2 kg*m/s^2

m1 = 2 kg

m2 = 3kg

A Drive to the BeachMary drove from her home to the beach that is 30 mi from her house. The first 15 mi she drove at 60 mph, and
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let us calculate the average velocity .

Average velocity = total distance / total time

Time taken to drive first 15 mi

= 15 / 60 = .25 h

Time taken to drive next 15 mi

= 15 / 30 = .5 h

Total time = .25 + .5 = .75 h

Total distance = 30 mi

average speed = 30 / .75

= 40 mi / h

So average speed is 40 mph which is less than given velocity of 45 mph .

Hence if she travels at 45 mph , she will take less time .

What is the apparent weight of this same object at Neptune's equator? (Note that Neptune's "surface" is gaseous, not solid, so i
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration of gravity on the surface of

Neptune is given

g' = G M/R^2,

where M is the planet's mass.

M g' will be the apparent weight registed at the poles.

G is the universal constant of gravity

The "apparent weight" at the equator will be

reduced from M g' by the centripetal force M

R w^2, where w is the rotational angular

velocity in radians/s), which you can deduce

from the 16 hour length of a day.

How is wind generated?
just olya [345]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, variations in the earth's surface, and rotation of the earth. ... Wind turbines convert the energy in wind to electricity by rotating propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor turns the drive shaft, which turns an electric generator

The energy source used to produce most of the electrical energy in the United States is _______? Can someone help me on this?,
coldgirl [10]
<span>The energy source used to produce most of the electrical energy in the United States is Fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are generated over a long period of time by decomposition of dead flora and Fauna. Fossil fuels consists of three things- Coal, Petroleum and Natural Gas. Natural gas approx contributes 34%, Coal approx contributes 30% and Petroleum approx contributes 1% of total energy produced in US.</span>
