A car is moving South at a constant speed of 60 miles per hour. The force of the

Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 750 N

Explanation:

The net force is 1200 - 450 = 750 N

As we are told the speed is constant, then this force must be increasing the car's potential energy by climbing a hill.

F = mgsinθ

If we knew the car mass, we could find the hill slope angle.

If we knew the hill slope angle, we could find the car mass.

Consider two spaceships, each traveling at 0.50c in a straight line. Ship A is moving directly away from the Sun and ship B is a

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The velocity of the light will be 1.0c only

Explanation:

The velocity of the light measured in the case given in question will be 1.0c only.

This is due to the fact that the velocity of light is never relative. The velocity of the light is maximum

The velocity of the light cannot be scaled down in no case

Thus, the velocity of the light remains as constant.

Hence, the velocity of the light measured will be 1.0c although the ships have relative velocity.

Water is being boiled in an open kettle that has a 0.52-cm-thick circular aluminum bottom with a radius of 12.0 cm. If the water

tangare [24]

Answer:

$T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given:

thickness of the base of the kettle, $dx=0.52\ cm=5.2\times 10^{-3}\ m$

radius of the base of the kettle, $r=0.12\ m$

temperature of the top surface of the kettle base, $T_t=100^{\circ}C$

rate of heat transfer through the kettle to boil water, $\dot Q=0.409\ kg.min^{-1}$

We have the latent heat vaporization of water, $L=2260\times 10^3\ J.kg^{-1}$

and thermal conductivity of aluminium, $k=240\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

So, the heat rate:

$\dot Q=\frac{0.409\times 2260000}{60}$

$\dot Q=15405.67\ W$

From the Fourier's law of conduction we have:

$\dot Q=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

$\dot Q=k\times \pi.r^2\times \frac{T_b-T_t}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}$

where:

$A=$ area of the surface through which conduction occurs

$T_b=$ temperature of the bottom surface

$15405.67=240\times \pi\times 0.12^2\times \frac{T_b-100}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}$

$T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C$ is the temperature of the bottom of the base surface of the kettle.
