Answer:

(a) 918.37 kg

(b) 2020.41 lbs

Explanation:

number of students = 20

Force of each student = 450 N

Total upward force = 450 x 20 = 9000 N

(a)

Let m be the mass of car

F = m x g

9000 = m x 9.8

m = 918.37 kg

(b)

As we know that, 1 kg = 2.20 lbs

So, 918.37 kg = 2.20 x 918.37 = 2020.41 lbs

A car weighing 11.1 kN and traveling at 13.4 m/s without negative lift attempts to round an unbanked curve with a radius of 61.0

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Well..

Explanation:

That's impossible. I know because I once weighed 11.1 kN, and I was temporarily immobile. It's probably the same for a car, and therefore it can not be "traveling" anywhere at all.. unless you put the car on an airplane or a boat or something.

An element has a charge of -3, has 8 protons, 11 neutrons, and electrons

Sati [7]

Question isn’t clear
If it’s asking the no of electrons then -
No of electrons =no of protons in an atom of a element ....therefore there are 11 electrons

A luggage handler pulls a suitcase of mass 19.6 kg up a ramp inclined at an angle 24.0 ∘ above the horizontal by a force F⃗ of m

Dvinal [7]

(a) 638.4 J

The work done by a force is given by

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

Here we want to calculate the work done by the force F, of magnitude

F = 152 N

The displacement of the suitcase is

d = 4.20 m along the ramp

And the force is parallel to the displacement, so $\theta=0^{\circ}$ . Therefore, the work done by this force is

$W_F=(152)(4.2)(cos 0)=638.4 J$

b) -328.2 J

The magnitude of the gravitational force is

W = mg

where

m = 19.6 kg is the mass of the suitcase

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting,

$W=(19.6)(9.8)=192.1 N$

Again, the displacement is

d = 4.20 m

The gravitational force acts vertically downward, so the angle between the displacement and the force is

$\theta= 90^{\circ} - \alpha = 90+24=114^{\circ}$

Where $\alpha = 24^{\circ}$ is the angle between the incline and the horizontal.

Therefore, the work done by gravity is

$W_g=(192.1)(4.20)(cos 114^{\circ})=-328.2 J$

c) 0

The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the component of the weight perpendicular to the ramp, therefore:

$R=mg cos \alpha$

And substituting

m = 19.6 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

$\alpha=24^{\circ}$

We find

$R=(19.6)(9.8)(cos 24)=175.5 N$

Now: the angle between the direction of the normal force and the displacement of the suitcase is 90 degrees:

$\theta=90^{\circ}$

Therefore, the work done by the normal force is

$W_R=R d cos \theta =(175.4)(4.20)(cos 90)=0$

d) -194.5 J

The magnitude of the force of friction is

$F_f = \mu R$

where

$\mu = 0.264$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction

R = 175.5 N is the normal force

Substituting,

$F_f = (0.264)(175.5)=46.3 N$

The displacement is still

d = 4.20 m

And the friction force points down along the slope, so the angle between the friction and the displacement is

$\theta=180^{\circ}$

Therefore, the work done by friction is

$W_f = F_f d cos \theta =(46.3)(4.20)(cos 180)=-194.5 J$

e) 115.7 J

The total work done on the suitcase is simply equal to the sum of the work done by each force,therefore:

$W=W_F + W_g + W_R +W_f = 638.4 +(-328.2)+0+(-194.5)=115.7 J$

f) 3.3 m/s

First of all, we have to find the work done by each force on the suitcase while it has travelled a distance of

d = 3.80 m

Using the same procedure as in part a-d, we find:

$W_F=(152)(3.80)(cos 0)=577.6 J$

$W_g=(192.1)(3.80)(cos 114^{\circ})=-296.9 J$

$W_R=(175.4)(3.80)(cos 90)=0$

$W_f =(46.3)(3.80)(cos 180)=-175.9 J$

So the total work done is

$W=577.6+(-296.9)+0+(-175.9)=104.8 J$

Now we can use the work-energy theorem to find the final speed of the suitcase: in fact, the total work done is equal to the gain in kinetic energy of the suitcase, therefore

$W=\Delta K = K_f - K_i\\W=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(104.8)}{19.6}}=3.3 m/s$

Find the change in thermal energy of a 25kg severed clown doll head that heats up from 25°C to 35°C, and has the specific heat o

timama [110]

Answer:

Q = 425 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 25 kg

The clown doll head that heats up from 25°C to 35°C

The specific heat is 1700 J/kg°C

We need to find the internal energy of it. The heat required to raise the temperature is given by the formula as follows :

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\\Q=25\times 1700\times (35-25)\\\\Q=425000\ J\\\\Q=425\ kJ$

So, 425 kJ of thermal energy is severed.

A 10-turn coil of wire having a diameter of 1.0 cm and a resistance of 0.50 Ω is in a 1.0 mT magnetic field, with the coil orien

n200080 [17]

Answer:

The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 10

Diameter = 1.0 cm

Resistance = 0.50 Ω

Capacitor = 1.0μ F

Magnetic field = 1.0 mT

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

$\phi=NBA$

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=10\times1.0\times10^{-3}\times\pi\times(0.5\times10^{-2})^2$

$\phi=7.85\times10^{-7}\ Tm^2$

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf

$\epsilon=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

Put the value into the formula

$\epsilon=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}$

Put the value of emf from ohm's law

$\epsilon =IR$

$IR=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}$

$Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{R}$

$Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{0.50}$

$Idt=0.00000157=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C$

We know that,

$Idt=dq$

$dq=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C$

We need to calculate the voltage across the capacitor

Using formula of charge

$dq=C dV$

$dV=\dfrac{dq}{C}$

Put the value into the formula

$dV=\dfrac{1.57\times10^{-6}}{1.0\times10^{-6}}$

$dV=1.57\ V$

Hence, The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.
