Answer: 20.21 kg

Explanation:

The mass hanging from the pulley is pulling the cart. The force by which cart is being pulled is equal to weight of the hanging mass.

F=m_2g

⇒F=0.200 kg ×9.8 m/s²=1.96 N

Since there is no other force acting on the cart and there is no friction, so this force will pull the cart.

The Cart covers 1.12 m distance in 4.8 s.

From the equation of motion,

s = u t + 0.5 × a t²

We will find the acceleration of the cart,

Distance covered, s = 1.12 m

Initial velocity, u = 0 ( staring from rest)

Time taken, t = 4.8 s

⇒1.12 m = 0 + 0.5 × a × (4.8 s)²

⇒a = 0.097 m/s²

Now the force which causes this acceleration is:

F = ma

where m is the mass of the cart and a is the acceleration of the cart

⇒1.96 N = m×0.097 m/s²

⇒m = 20.21 kg

Hence, the mass of the cart is 20.21 kg.

A spherical balloon has a radius of 7.40 m and is filled with helium. Part A How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the sk
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The mass of the cargo is M  =  188.43 \ kg

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The radius of the spherical balloon is  r =  7.40 \ m

     The mass of the balloon is  m = 990\ kg  

The volume of the spherical balloon is mathematically represented as

     V  =  \frac{4}{3} * \pi r^3

substituting values

      V  =  \frac{4}{3} * 3.142 *(7.40)^3

      V  =  1697.6 \ m^3

The total mass  the balloon can lift is mathematically represented as

     m =  V (\rho_h - \rho_a)

where \rho_h is the density of helium with a  value of

       \rho_h  =  0.179 \ kg /m^3

and  \rho_a is the density of air with a value of

        \rho_ a  = 1.29 \ kg / m^3

substituting values

          m =  1697.6 ( 1.29  - 0.179)

         m =  1886.0  \ kg

Now the mass of the cargo is mathematically evaluated as

        M  =  1886.0 - 1697.6

        M  =  188.43 \ kg

As temperature increases, ________. Group of answer choices the resistance of a conductor remains the same the resistance of a c
amm1812

Answer:

resistance of a conductor increases

Explanation:

The resistance of conductors is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. This implies that when the temperature of the conductor is increased, the resistance of the conductor increases likewise.

This is applied in the resistance thermometer. Resistance thermometers are useful for accurate temperature measurements at very high or very low temperatures.

A swift blow with the hand can break a pine board. As the hand hits the board, the kinetic energy of the hand is transformed int
Stells [14]

Answer:

A. The hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand = 1025 N

Explanation:

A.To determine the speed the hand must move with to break the board, the force workdone in breaking the board is found first.

Workdone = force × distance

Minimum force required = 870 N;

Distance moved by board/Deflection in order to break = 1.4 cm = 0.014 M

Workd done = 870 N × 0.014 m = 12.18 Nm or 12.18 J

This work done = Kinetic energy of the hand

Kinetic energy = mv²/2 ; where m is mass and v is velocity

Mass of hand = 0.50 Kg, velocity = ?, K.E. = 12.18 J

v² = 2 KE/m

v = √2KE/m

v = √(2 × 12.18/0.50)

v = 6.98 m/s

Therefore, the hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand

This can be determined using the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as to find acceleration, since force = mass × acceleration

From the equation of motion, a = v² - u²/2s

At rest, v = 0, u = 6.98, s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

a = 0² - 6.98²/ 2 × 0.012

a = -2030 m/s²

Force = 2030 m/s² × 0. 50 kg = 1015 N

Therefore, Average force on the hand = 1025 N

The acceleration due to gravity, g , is constant at sea level on the Earth's surface. However, the acceleration decreases as an
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

  g    = g₀   [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

Explanation:

The law of universal gravitation is

        F = G m Me / Re²

Where g is the universal gravitational constant, m and Me are the mass of the body and the Earth, respectively and R is the distance between them

      F = G Me /Re²  m

We call gravity acceleration a

       g₀ = G Me / Re².

When the body is at a height h above the surface the distance is

            R = Re + h

Therefore  the attractive force is

      F = G Me m / (Re + h)²

Let's take Re's common factor

      F = G Me / Re²  m / (1+ h / Re)²

As Re has a value of 6.37 10⁶ m and the height of the body in general is less than 10⁴ m, the h / Re term is very small, so we can perform a series expansion

         (1+ h / Re)⁻² = 1 -2 h / Re + 6/2 (h / Re) 2 + ...

Let's replace

       F = G Me /Re²   m [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

       F = g₀   m  [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

If we call the force of attraction at height

     m g =g₀ m  [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

       g    = g₀   [1- 2 h / Re + 3 (h / Re)²]

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie
Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance=  Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles
