A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +16.7 m/s in a time of 20.7 s.

The combined mass of the boat and trailer is 594 kg. The frictional force acting on the trailer can be ignored. What is the tension in the hitch that connects the trailer to the car?

Answer:

F = 479.21 N

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity = 0 m/s  

final velocity = 16.7 m/s        

time taken = 20.7 s          

combined mass of the boat and trailer  = 594 kg

tension in the hitch = ?          

using equation of motion          

v = u + a t

16.7 = 0 + a × 20.7

a = 0.807 m/s²              

Force = mass × acceleration        

F = 594 × 0.807                

F = 479.21 N

Hence, the tension in the hitch that connects the  trailer to the car is        F = 479.21 N

The average intensity of light emerging from a polarizing sheet is 0.708 W/m2, and that of the horizontally polarized light inci
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Angle θ = 30.82°

Explanation:

From Malus’s law, since the intensity of a wave is proportional to its amplitude squared, the intensity I of the transmitted wave is related to the incident wave by; I = I_o cos²θ

where;

I_o is the intensity of the polarized wave before passing through the filter.

In this question,

I is 0.708 W/m²

While I_o is 0.960 W/m²

Thus, plugging in these values into the equation, we have;

0.708 W/m² = 0.960 W/m² •cos²θ

Thus, cos²θ = 0.708 W/m²/0.960 W/m²

cos²θ = 0.7375

Cos θ = √0.7375

Cos θ = 0.8588

θ = Cos^(-1)0.8588

θ = 30.82°

How many joules of heat are needed to raise the temperature of 50.0 g of aluminum from 10°C to 110°C, if the specific heat of al
dusya [7]

Answer:

Heat required to raise the temperature of the aluminium is 4750 J

Explanation:

As we know that the heat energy required to raise the temperature of the aluminium is given as

Q = ms\Delta T

here we know that

m = 50 g

\Delta T = 110 - 10

\Delta T = 100 ^oC

so we have

Q = 50(0.95)(100)

Q = 4750 J

Equipotential surfaces a) make an angle of 45 degrees with the electric field. b) are parallel to the electric field. c) are per
Schach [20]

Answer:

Option c) are perpendicular to the electric field

Explanation:

Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field. the electric field lines are projected outwards from the equipotential surface, i.e., the lines of the electric field are at 90^{\circ} to the equipotential surface.

Equipotential surface are those surfaces that have the same potential at any point on the surface. Thus the potential difference at any point on the surface is zero due to same potential.

Any charge particle on this surface will move in a perpendicular direction to the Coulombian force. No work is done by the force on a particle moving on an equipotential surface.
