The force of friction is 300 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration. So we can write

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force acting on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

For the cart in this problem, we have two forces acting on it:

- The force of push, F = 500 N, forward

- The force of friction, F_f, backward

So Newton's second law can be rewritten as

F-F_f = ma

where

m = 50 kg

a=4 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the cart

And solving for F_f, we find the force of friction:

F_f = F-ma=500-(50)(4)=300 N

The diagram shows a ball resting at the top of a hill.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

Explanation:

Let be X the point where a ball rests at the top of a hill. By applying the Principle of Energy Conservation, the total energy in the physical system remains constant and gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill is equal to the sum of kinetic energy, a lower gravitational energy and dissipated work due to nonconservative forces (friction, dragging).

U_{grav, X} = U_{grav, Y} + K_{Y} + \Delta W_{X \rightarrow Y} = U_{grav,Z}+\Delta W_{X \rightarrow Z}

Conclusions are showed as follows:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

b) The kinetic energy is the lowest at X and Z.

c) Total energy remains constant as the ball moves from X to Y.

Hence, the correct answer is A.

Suppose you have 600.0 grams of room temperature water (20.0 degrees Celsius) in a thermos. You drop 90.0 grams of ice at 0.00 d
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

T_{f} = 7.02 ° C

Explanation:

The liquid water gives heat to melt the ice (Q₁) maintaining the temperature of 0 ° C and then the two waters are equilibrated to a final temperature.

Let's start by calculating the heat needed to melt the ice

Q₁ = m L

Q₁ = 0.090 3.33 10⁵

Q₁ = 2997 10⁴ J

This is the heat needed to melt all the ice

Now let's calculate at what temperature the water reaches when it releases this heat

Q = M c_{e} (T₀ -T_{f})

Q₁ = Q

    T_{f} = T₀ - Q₁ / M c_{e}

T_{f} = 20.0 - 2997 104 / (0.600 4186)

T_{f}= 20.0 - 11.93

T_{f} = 8.07 ° C

This is the temperature of the water when all the ice is melted

Now the two bodies of water exchange heat until they reach an equilibrium temperature

Temperatures are

Water of greater mass     T₀₂ = 8.07ºC

Melted ice                         T₀₁ = 0ºC

M c_{e} (T₀₂ - T_{f}) = m c_{e} (T_{f} - T₀₁)

      M T₀₂ + m T₀₁ = m T_{f}+ M T_{f}

T_{f}= (M T₀₂ + 0) / (m + M)

T_{f} = M / (m + M) T₀₂

let's calculate

T_{f} = 0.600 / (0.600 + 0.090) 8.07

     T_{f} = 7.02 ° C

A series RC circuit contains a 1,000 ohm resistor and a 0.025 microfarad capacitor. What is the time constant of this circuit?
stiks02 [169]

The RC time constant, also called tau, the time constant (in seconds) of an RC circuit, is equal to the product of the circuit resistance (in ohms) and the circuit capacitance (in farads), i.e.

\tau = RC

Here,

R = Resistance

C = Capacitance

Replacing we have that

\tau = (1000)(0.025*10^{6})

\tau = 25*10^{-6}

\tau = 25\mu s

Therefore the time constant of this circuit is \tau = 25\mu s

A rock slides down from A to B along the inside surface of a frictionless hemispherical bowl. As the rock slides, mechanical ene
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

the normal force on the rock acts perpendicular to the bowl's surface.

Explanation:

As we know that Normal force is the reaction force of two contact surfaces which always act perpendicular to the contact surfaces

Here we know that the rock is moving inside the bowl

So Normal force on the rock must perpendicular to the surface of the bowl which always passes through the center of the bowl.

Since the rock is moving in vertical plane so it must have two acceleration

1) Tangential acceleration which will increase the magnitude of the speed along the tangential path

2) Centripetal acceleration which will change the direction of the rock

So here only correct option will be

the normal force on the rock acts perpendicular to the bowl's surface.
