<span>We can assume that the horizontal surface has no friction and the pulley is massless. We can use Newton's second law to set up an equation. F = Ma F is the net force M is the total mass of the system a is the acceleration a = F / M a = (mb)(g) / (ma + mb) a = (6.0 kg)(9.80 m/s^2) / (6.0 kg + 14.0 kg) a = 58.8 N / 20 kg a = 2.94 m/s^2 The magnitude of the acceleration of the system is 2.94 m/s^2</span>

What is the magnitude of the largest net force that can be produced by combining a force of 6.0 N
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

10N

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the resultant is expressed as;

R = √F1²+F2²

F1 and F2 are the forces

Given

F1 = 6.0N

F2 = 8.0N

R = √6²+8²

R = √36+64

R = √100

R = 10.0N

Hence the magnitude of the net force is 10N

A 0.0550-kg ice cube at −30.0°C is placed in 0.400 kg of 35.0°C water in a very well-insulated container. What is the final temp
KatRina [158]

Answer:

19.34°C

Explanation:

When the ice cube is placed in the water, heat will be transferred from the hot water to it such that the heat gained (Q₁) by the ice is equal to the heat lost(Q₂) by the hot water and a final equilibrium temperature is reached between the melted ice and the cooling/cooled hot water. i.e

Q₁ = -Q₂                  ----------------------(i)

{A} Q₁ is the heat gained by the ice and it is given by the sum of ;

(i) the heat required to raise the temperature of the ice from -30°C to 0°C. This is given by [m₁ x c₁ x ΔT]

<em>Where;</em>

m₁ = mass of ice = 0.0550kg

c₁ = a constant called specific heat capacity of ice = 2108J/kg°C

ΔT₁ = change in the temperature of ice as it melts from -30°C to 0°C = [0 - (-30)]°C = [0 + 30]°C = 30°C

(ii) and the heat required to melt the ice completely - This is called the heat of fusion. This is given by [m₁ x L₁]

Where;

m₁ = mass of ice = 0.0550kg

L₁ = a constant called latent heat of fusion of ice = 334 x 10³J/kg

Therefore,

Q₁ = [m₁ x c₁ x ΔT₁] + [m₁ x L₁]        ------------------(ii)

Substitute the values of m₁, c₁, ΔT₁ and  L₁ into equation (ii) as follows;

Q₁ = [0.0550 x 2108 x 30] + [0.0550 x 334 x 10³]

Q₁ = [3478.2] + [18370]

Q₁ = 21848.2 J

{B} Q₂ is the heat lost by the hot water and is given by

Q₂ = m₂ x c₂ x ΔT₂                -----------------(iii)

Where;

m₂ = mass of water = 0.400kg

c₂ = a constant called specific heat capacity of water = 4200J/Kg°C

ΔT₂ = change in the temperature of water as it cools from 35°C to the final temperature of the hot water (T) = (T - 35)°C

Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;

Q₂ = 0.400 x 4200 x (T - 35)

Q₂ = 1680 x (T-35) J

{C} Now to get the final temperature, substitute the values of Q₁ and Q₂ into equation (i) as follows;

Q₁ = -Q₂

=> 21848.2 = - 1680 x (T-35)

=> 35 - T  = 21848.2 / 1680

=> 35 - T  = 13

=> T  = 35 - 13

=> T  = 22

Therefore the final temperature of the hot water is 22°C.

Now let's find the final temperature of the mixture.

The mixture contains hot water at 22°C and melted ice at 0°C

At this temperature, the heat (Q_{W}) due to the hot water will be equal to the negative of the one (Q_{I}) due to the melted ice.

i.e

Q_{W} = -Q_{I}             -----------------(a)

Where;

Q_{I} = m_{I} x c_{I} x ΔT_{I}         [m_{I} = mass of ice, c_{I} = specific heat capacity of melted ice which is now water and ΔT_{I} = change in temperature of the melted ice]

and

Q_{W} = m_{W} x c_{W} x ΔT_{W}    

[m_{W} = mass of water, c_{W} = specific heat capacity of water and ΔT_{W} = change in temperature of the water]

Substitute the values of Q_{W} and Q_{I} into equation (a) as follows

m_{W} x c_{W} x ΔT_{W}   =  - m_{I} x c_{I} x ΔT_{I}

Note that c_{W} and c_{I} are the same since they are both specific heat capacities of water. Therefore, the equation above becomes;

m_{W} x ΔT_{W}   = -m_{I} x ΔT_{I}   -----------------------(b)

Now, let's analyse ΔT_{W} and ΔT_{I}. The final temperature (T_{F}) of the two kinds of water(melted ice and cooled water) are now the same.

=> ΔT_{W} = change in temperature of water = final temperature of water(T_{F}) - initial temperature of water(T_{IW})

ΔT_{W} = T_{F} - T_{IW}

Where;

T_{IW} = 22°C           [which is the final temperature of water before mixture]

=> ΔT_{I} = change in temperature of melted ice = final temperature of water(T_{F}) - initial temperature of melted ice (T_{II})

ΔT_{I} = T_{F} - T_{II}

T_{II} = 0°C     (Initial temperature of the melted ice)

Substitute these values into equation (b) as follows;

m_{W} x ΔT_{W}   =  - m_{I} x ΔT_{I}

0.400 x (T_{F} - T_{IW}) = -0.0550 x (T_{F} - T_{II})

0.400 x (T_{F} - 22) = -0.0550 x (T_{F} - 0)

0.400 x (T_{F} - 22) = -0.0550 x (T_{F})

0.400T_{F} - 8.8 = -0.0550T_{F}

0.400T_{F} + 0.0550T_{F} =  8.8  

0.455T_{F} = 8.8

T_{F} = 19.34°C

Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture is 19.34°C

A 0.0223 m diameter coin rolls up a 12.0◦ inclined plane. The coin starts with an initial angular speed of 49.3 rad/s and rolls
zlopas [31]

Answer:

h = 0.0231 m

Explanation:

The movement of the coin is modelled after the Principle of Energy Conservation. The kinetic energy of the coin is the sum of the components associated with translation and rotation and there are no non-conservative forces. In addition, the coin starts moving at height of zero

K_{rot} + K_{tr} = U_{g}

\frac{1}{2} \cdot m_{coin} \cdot \omega^{2} \cdot R^{2} + \frac{1}{4} \cdot m_{coin} \cdot R^{2} \cdot \omega^{2} = m_{coin} \cdot g \cdot h\\

\frac{3}{4} \cdot R^{2} \cdot \omega^{2} = g \cdot h

The maximum vertical height is isolated in the previous equation:

h = \frac{3 \cdot R^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}}{4\cdot g}

h = \frac{3 \cdot (0.01115 m)^{2} \cdot (49.3 \frac{rad}{s} )^{2}}{4 \cdot (9.807 \frac{m}{s^{2}} )} \\h = 0.0231 m

What is matter? Give a grade 10/11/12 understanding.
lara [203]

Matter can be many things, but is mostly made of atoms. Atoms are small things that cannot be seen directly, as lights either passes through it or alters it. However, we know that atoms are made of 3 parts, those being the proton, neutron, and electron.

Protons have a positive electromagnetic charge.

Neutrons have no charge.

Electrons have a negative charge equal to the protons positive charge.

Protons and neutrons make up what's called the nucleus, which is orbited by the electrons.

Protons and neutrons also share another thing in common, that being their composition.

Until relatively recently, we thought that these were the smallest particles in the universe, and indestructible. However, modern discoveries have revealed that they are actually made of quarks and gluons.

These are actually indestructible, being part of the group that is elementary particles.

In doing a load of clothes, a clothes dryer uses 16 A of current at 240 V for 45 min. A personal computer, in contrast, uses 2.7
EastWind [94]

Answer:

(a) Total time will be 8.05 hour

(B) Total cost will be $417.6                

Explanation:

We have given dryer uses 16 A of current so current i = 16 A

Voltage V = 240 volt

Time t = 45 minutes =45×60 = 2700 sec

So power P = VI = 240×16 = 3840 W

So energy E = power×time = 3840×45×60 = 9396 KJ

(A) Now current in the computer i = 2.7 A

Voltage V = 120 V

So power P = 120×2.7 = 324 W

Now computer is using energy of dryer

So time by which it will use energy is t=\frac{9396000}{324}=29000sec=8.05hour

So time will be 8.05 hour

(b) Cost per kilowatt is $0.12

So total cost =3480×0.12 = $417.6
