Answer:

= 0.5 m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the resultant force is directly proportion to the rate of change of linear momentum.

Therefore; F = ma , where F is the Force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Thus; a = F/m

but; F = 5 N, and m = 10 kg

 a = 5 /10

= 0.5 m/s²

A force of 3600 N is exerted on a piston that has an area of 0.030 m2. What force is exerted on a second piston that has an area

Airida [17]

For Pascal's law, the pressure is transmitted with equal intensity to every part of the fluid:
$p_1 = p_2$
which becomes
$\frac{F_1}{A_1}= \frac{F_2}{A_2}$
where
$F_1=3600 N$ is the force on the first piston
$A_1=0.030 m^2$ is the area of the first piston
$F_2$ is the force on the second piston
$A_2=0.015 m^2$ is the area of the second piston

If we rearrange the equation and we use these data, we can find the intensity of the force on the second piston:
$F_2=F_1 \frac{A_2}{A_1}=(3600 N) \frac{0.015 m^2}{0.030 m^2}= 1800 N$

A _____ is used in a motor to switch the direction of the magnetic field created by the current.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

A _commutator_ is used in a motor to switch the direction of the magnetic field created by the current.

The rotating part of a motor that holds the electromagnets is called the __armature___.

Electric current passes through the _brushes_ and into the electromagnets in an electric motor.

A motor turns _electrical_ energy into _mechanical_ energy.

Explanation:

A commutator, which is a split ring rotary switching device, reverses the direction of the current between the external circuit and the rotor. Reversing the current reverses the magnetic field.

The armature comprises the rotating part of the motor and the electromagnets

A brush is the electrical contact for conducting current through the moving and stationary parts of an electric motor

An electric motor turns electrical energy into mechanical energy.

II Force on a tennis ball. The record speed for a tennis ball that is served is 73.14 m/s. During a serve, the ball typically st

AveGali [126]

Answer:

F=248.5W N

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that F=ma. We will use their averages always. The average acceleration the tennis ball experimented is, by definition:

$a=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{v-v_0}{t-t_0}$

Since we start counting at 0s and the ball departs from rest, this is just $a=\frac{v}{t}$

So we can write:

$F=ma=\frac{mv}{t}=\frac{gmv}{gt}$

Where in the last step we have just multiplied and divided by g, the acceleration of gravity. This allows us to introduce the weight of the ball W since W=gm, so we have:

$F=\frac{Wv}{gt}=\frac{v}{gt}W$

Substituting our values:

$F=\frac{(73.14m/s)}{(9.81m/s^2)(30\times10^{-3}s)}W=248.5W N$

Where the average force exerted has been written it terms of the tennis ball's weight W.
