Paraphin [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A calorie is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius.

Explanation:

The other unit used to measure heat is the joule. The joule is the SI (System International) unit

Alex is asked to move two boxes of books in contact with each other and resting on a frictionless floor. He decides to move them
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

2.8 N

Explanation:

Fp = 7.7 N

mA = 12.1 kg

mB = 7 kg

Let a be the acceleration and Fc be the contact force between A and B.

By the free body diagram, use Newton's second law

Fp - Fc = mA x a ..... (1)

Fc = mB x a ..... (2)

Adding both the equations

Fp = (mA + mB) x a

7.7 = (12.1 + 7) x a

a = 0.4 m/s^2

Substitute this value in equation (2), we get

Fc = 7 x 0.4 = 2.8 N

Thus, the contact force between the two blocks is 2.8 N.

The force between two interacting charges is 9.0 × 10-5 newtons. They are kept 1 meter apart. If the magnitude of one charge is
Oliga [24]

The magnitude of other charge will be 1 × 10⁻² coulomb

The formula of electrostatic force is

Electrostatic force = K q1 q1 / r²

where k is the coulomb's constant whose value is 9 × 10⁹

q1 and a2 are the magnitude of charges

and r is the distance between them

magnitude of the force given to us is 9.0 × 10⁻⁵ newtons

magnitude of one charge = 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ coulomb

Force = K q1 q2 / r²

9.0 × 10⁻⁵ = ( ( 9 × 10⁹ ) × ( 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ ) × q2 ) / 1

9.0 × 10⁻⁵ =  9 × 10³ × q2  

10⁻² = q2  

Charge on q2 is 1 × 10⁻² coulomb

So the magnitude of the second charge is came out to be 1 × 10⁻² coulomb after applying the formula of electrostatic force.

A hockey puck is hit on a frozen lake and starts moving with a speed of 13.60 m/s. Exactly 6.2 s later, its speed is 7.20 m/s. (
stellarik [79]

Answer:

-1.03 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S. I unit of acceleration is m/s².

Mathematically, acceleration is expressed as

a = (v-u)/t ........................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t  = time.

Given: u = 13.60 m/s, v = 7.20 m/s t = 6.2 s.

Substituting into equation 2

a = (7.20-13.60)/6.2

a = -6.4/6.2

a = -1.03 m/s²

Note: a is negative because, the hockey puck is decelerating.

Hence the average acceleration = -1.03 m/s²

A neutral atom possesses an atomic number of 13 and an atomic mass of 27. Three electrons are lost. From what region of the atom
slega [8]
The atomic number of the atom is 13. This means that its electronic configuration is (2 8 3) or in other words:
1<span>s2, </span>2<span>s2, </span>2<span>p6, </span>3<span>s2, </span>3<span>p<span>1

If three electrons are lost, then these electrons are removed from the outermost level.
In our case, electrons are removed from the third energy level (one electron is removed from the 3p orbital and two electrons are removed from the 3s orbital).</span></span>
