A box is lowered using a rope. If the acceleration of the box, is 2.5 m/s2 (downward) and the tension in the rope is 31 N, what

is the mass of the box (in kg)?

F= ma
31-mg = m(-2.5m/s2)
31= mg-2.5 m
31 = m*(9.8m/s2 -2.5 m/s2)
31 = 7.3 m
m = 31/7.3
m = 4.25 kg

QveST [7]

Answer: Phillipe wins the race

Explanation:

Given

Length of track=20 m

Velocity of Phillippe=2 m/s w.r.t sidewalk

Velocity of sidewalk=1.5 m/s

Rena velocity=2 m/s

Therefore absolute velocity of P is 2+1.5=3.5 m/s

Time taken by phillippe $\frac{20}{3.5}+\frac{20}{3.5-1.5}$

$t_P$ =5.714+10=15.714 s

Time taken by rena

$t_r=\frac{20}{2}+\frac{20}{2}=20 s$

as the time taken by phillippe is less than rena therefore Phillippe wins the race.

a piece of metal with a mass of 15.3 grams has a temperature of 50.0°C. When the metal is placed in 80.2 grams of water at 21.0°

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

1.21

Explanation:

Heat rise in the body happens due to heat supplied by water to the body.

Heat rise in body = m₁ c₁ ΔT₁

Where m₁ is mass of body and c₁ is its specific heat of body

Heat lost from water to the body = m₂ c₂ ΔT₂

Where m₂ is mass of water and c₂ is its specific heat of water ( c₂ =1 (since water))

Equating both:

15.3 x c₁ x 4.3 = 80.2 x 1 x 4.3

⇒ c₁ = 80.2 / (15.3 x 4.3) = 1.21
