A box has a mass of 400 g. What minimum force is needed to lift it?
mart [117]

Answer: 3.92 N.

Explanation:

Your box weighs 400g, or 0.4kg. In order to lift it, you need to overcome the force of gravity. F = ma, and acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s^2. So gravity acts on the box with a force of 0.4 kg * -9.8 m/s^2 = -3.92 N. A force of +3.92 N is required to overcome this.

We are designing a crude propulsion mechanism for a science fair demonstration. One of our team members stands on a skateboardth
Scrat [10]

Answer:

greater speed will be obtained for the elastic collision,

Explanation:

To answer this exercise we must find the speed that the sail acquires after each impact.

Let's start by hitting a ball of clay.

The system is formed by the candle and the clay balls, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved.

initial instant. before the crash

         p₀ = m v₀

where m is the mass of the ball and vo its initial velocity, we are assuming that the candle is at rest

final instant. After the crash

the mass of the candle is M

         p_f = (m + M) v

the moment is preserved

          p₀ = p_f

          m v₀ = (m + M) v

          v = \frac{m}{m+M} \ v_o

for when n balls have collided

          v = \frac{m}{n \ m + M}  v₀

Now let's analyze the case of the bouncing ball (elastic)

     

initial instant

        p₀ = m v₀

final moment

        p_f = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

        p₀ = p_f

        m v₀ = m v_{1f} + M v_{2f}

       m (v₀ - v_{1f}) = M v_{2f}

this case corresponds to an elastic collision whereby the kinetic energy is conserved

        K₀ = K_f

        ½ m v₀² = ½ m v_{1f}² + ½ M v_{2f}²

        v₁ = v_{1f}            v₂ = v_{2f}

        m (v₀² - v₁²) = M v₂²

let's use the identity

         (a² - b²) = (a + b) (a-b)

we write our equations

         m (v₀ - v₁) = M v₂                       (1)

         m (v₀ - v₁) (v₀ + v₁) = M v₂²

let's divide these equations

         v₀ + v₁ = v₂

Let's look for the final speeds

we substitute in equation 1

          m (v₀ - v₁) = M (v₀ + v₁)

          v₀ (m -M) = (m + M) v₁

          v₁ = \frac{m-M}{m + M}   v₀

we substitute in equation 1 to find v₂

            \frac{M}{m}  v₂ = v₀ -  \frac{m-M}{m+M}   v₀

            v₂ = \frac{m}{M}  ( 1 - \frac{m-M}{m+M} ) \ v_o

            v₂ = \frac{m}{M}  ( \frac{2M}{m+M} ) \ \ v_o

            v₂ = \frac{2m}{m +M}  \ v_o  

Let's analyze the results for inelastic collision with each ball that collides with the sail, the total mass becomes larger so the speed increase is smaller and smaller.

In the case of elastic collision, the increase in speed is constant with each ball since the total mass remains invariant.

Consequently, greater speed will be obtained for the elastic collision, that is, the ball will bounce.

A refrigerator removes 55.0 kcal of heat from the freezer and releases 73.5 kcal through the condenser on the back.How much work
sammy [17]

Here refrigerator removes 55 kcal heat from freezer

Refrigerator releases 73.5 kcal heat to surrounding

So here we can use energy conservation principle by II Law of thermodynamics

the law says that

Q_1 = Q_2 + W

here we know that

Q_1 = heat released to the surrounding

Q_2 = heat absorbed from freezer

W = work done by the compressor

now using above equation we can write

73.5 = 55 + W

W = 73.5 - 55

W = 18.5 kcal

So here compressor has to do 18.5 k cal work on it

Dominik [7]
F = ma = -kx

a = 9.81 m/s²
k = 3430 N/m
m = 70 kg

x = - ma/ k = 0.2m
