Answer:

The size will increase.

Explanation:

When you bend a plastic ruler, it's size will increase because it is elastic and will exhibit elastic deformation. When it is been bent, it will continue to stretch until it get to a point where it will not be able to regain it formal shape, it size wound of increase. Therefore when the ruler get to elastic limit and you have bend it to the point it cannot regain it's formal shape back, it will remain bent and if further force is apply on it,it will break.

An ice skater starts with a velocity of 2.25 m/s in a 50.0 degree direction. After 8.33s, she is moving 4.65 m/s in a 120 degree

Mnenie [13.5K]

The y-component of the acceleration is $0.22 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The y-component of the acceleration is given by

$a_y = \frac{v_y-u_y}{t}$

where

$v_y$ is the y-component of the final velocity

$u_y$ is the y-component of the initial velocity

t is the time elapsed

For the ice skater in this problem, we have:

u = 2.25 m/s is the initial velocity, in a direction $\theta=50.0^{\circ}$

v = 4.65 m/s is the final velocity, in a direction $120^{\circ}$

t = 8.33 s is the time elapsed

The y-components of the initial and final velocity are:

$u_y = u sin \theta = (2.25)(sin 50^{\circ})=1.72 m/s\\v_y = v sin \theta = (4.65)(sin 50^{\circ})=3.56 m/s$

So the y-component of the acceleration is

$a_y = \frac{3.56-1.72}{8.33}=0.22 m/s^2$

Explain the relationship between energy and the potential to do work

Alenkinab [10]

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or configuration . And energy is the capacity of doing work since power is work divided by time therefore change in potential energy divided by time is equal to the power of the object.

A sample of a gas has a volume of 639 cm3 when the pressure is 75.9 kPa. What is the volume of the gas when the pressure is incr

const2013 [10]

Answer:

$388 cm^3$

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:

$pV=const.$

which can also be rewritten as

$p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2$

In our case, we have:

$p_1 = 75.9 kPa$ is the initial pressure

$V_1 = 639 cm^3$ is the initial volume

$p_2 = 125 kPa$ is the final pressure

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

$v_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(75.9)(639)}{125}=388 cm^3$

A 750-newton person stands in an elevator that is

blondinia [14]

When an elevator is accelerating downward, the normal force is equal to mg-ma (hence you feel a little lighter when accelerating downwards)

Therefore, the upward force of the elevator floor on the person must be less than 750N

What is needed to set a body in motion

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Newtons law

Explanation:

According to this law, a body at rest tends to stay at rest, and a body in motion tends to stay in motion, unless acted on by a net external force.
