Answer:

The answer to your question is:

a) 2.7 m/s²

b) -3.6 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

mass of the toolbox = 3.2 kg

a = ?

F = 40 N and F = 20 N

g = 9.81 m/s²

Formula

Second law of motion = F = ma

                              a + g = F / m

                              a = F/m - g

a)                            a = 40/3.2 - 9.81

                              a = 2.69 ≈ 2.7 m/s²   positive up

b)                            a = 20/ 3.2 - 9.81

                              a = 6.25 - 9.81

                                  = - 3.56 ≈ - 3.6 m/s²  negative down

A gas in a closed container is heated with 10J of energy, causing the lid of the container to rise 2m with 3N of force. What is
AveGali [126]

Explanation:

For this problem, use the first law of thermodynamics. The change in energy equals the increase in heat energy minus the work done.

ΔU=Q−W

We are not given a value for work, but we can solve for it using the force and distance. Work is the product of force and displacement.

W=FΔx

W=3N×2m

W=6J

Now that we have the value of work done and the value for heat added, we can solve for the total change in energy.

ΔU=Q−W

ΔU=10J−6J

ΔU=4J

Answer is 4J

The two equal strong kids are having a tug a war. What do you expect to happen to the ball in this situation
borishaifa [10]

Answer:as per as Newtons second law, The forces exerted on the rope create tension.

As such,The tension is equal to the applied force.The tension is trasmitted to the opposite side and of the rope delivering the applied force.

Hope this helps.. :)

Which statement best describes a wave?
dedylja [7]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A continuous transmission of energy from one location to the next.

Explanation:

Waves include the carrier of energy without the carrier of matter. In outcome, a wave can be characterized as a change that progresses into a medium, carrying energy from one spot (its source) to different spot without carrying matter.

A 15-ft3 tank contains oxygen initially at 14.7 psia and 80°F. A paddle wheel within the tank is rotated until the pressure insi
Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

Equation for energy balance will be as follows.

         \Delta E_{system} = E_{in} - E_{out}

        \Delta U = W_{in} - Q_{out}

Hence,    W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})

Therefore, we will calculate the final temperature as follows.

            \frac{P_{1}V}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V}{T_{2}}

       T_{2} = \frac{20 psia}{14.7}(638 R)

                   = 868.03 R

Now, we will calculate the mass as follows.

             m = \frac{P_{1}V}{RT_{1}}

                 = \frac{14.7 psia \times 15 ft^{3}}{0.3353 psi ft^{3}/lbm R \times 638 R}

                 = 1.031 lbm

Hence,

        W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})

Putting the values into the above equation as follows.

            W_{in} = Q_{out} + mC_{v} (T_{2} - T_{1})

    W_{in} = 20 Btu + 1.031 lbm (\frac{0.160 Btu}{lbm R})(735 - 540)R

            W_{in} = 655.2 Btu

Thus, we can conclude that work done by paddle wheel is 655.2 Btu.

madam [21]

Answer:

Light does not need a medium to travel travel through, but since waves must have a medium to vibrate, sound is not created where no air is present.
