Restate newton's first law in terms of acceleratin

1 answer:

6 0

Well, I never heard it expressed that way before,
but it might go something like this:

   "Inertia is that property of all matter by which it
      tends to maintain motion without any acceleration
      until acted upon by an external force."

Use the graph below to answer the following question: if average acceleration is calculated using the equation, “ change in velo

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

$a=9\ cm/s^2$

Explanation:

<u>Average Acceleration </u>

Acceleration is a physical magnitude defined as the change of velocity over time. When we have experimental data, we can compute it by calculating the slope of the line in velocity vs time graph.

Note: <em>We cannot see if the time axis is numbered in increments of 1 second, and we'll assume that. </em>

When $t_2=4\ sec$ , the graph shows a value of $v_2=36\ cm/s$

When $t_1=0\ sec$ , the object is at rest, $v_1=0$

We compute the average acceleration as

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{36\ cm/s-0\ cm/s}{4\ sec-0\ sec}$

$\displaystyle a=\frac{36\ cm/s}{4\ s}$

$\boxed{a=9\ cm/s^2}$

What is the maximum value the string tension can have before the can slips? The coefficient of static friction between the can a

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

T= 38.38 N

Explanation:

Here

mass of can = m = 3 kg

g= 9.8 m/sec2

angle θ = 40°

From figure we see the vertical and horizontal component of tension force T

If the can is to slip - then horizontal component of tension force should become equal to force of friction.

First we find force of friction

Fs= μ R

where

μ = 0.76

R = weight of can = mg = 3 × 9.8 = 29.4 N

Now horizontal component of tension

Tx= T cos 40 = T× 0.7660 N

==>T× 0.7660 = 29.4

==> T= 38.38 N

Commercials for a toy bouncy ball advertise that it will bounce to a height that is greater than the

storchak [24]

Answer:

because energy will be lost due to friction, sound, and heat (arguably similar to friction) and ENERGY MUST STAY THE SAME so it is IMPOSSIBLE for the ball to bounce higher than when dropped!

Explain Energy Transformation using the image below and how the Law of Conservation of Energy is maintained.

Karolina [17]

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles. The law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object is associated with its motion. It can be related to the mass and velocity as

K.E = 1/2 mv²

Given is a diagram of energy conversion due to combustion.

The chemical energy of petrol is converted to heat energy on combustion. The heat energy is converted to kinetic energy by the use of internal combustion engines in vehicles.

The law of conservation of energy states that the energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be only converted to one form to the other.

In the given process, the mass decreases but energy remains the same in all forms of energy.

Hence, the law of conservation of energy is maintained in each process
