Answer:

7 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the jet is traveling 37.6 m/s when the pilot receives the message. 

And it takes the pilot 5.37 s to bring the plane to a halt.

Acceleration of the plane can be calculated by using first equation of motion

V = U - at

Since the plane is going to stop, the final velocity V = zero.

And the acceleration will be negative

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

0 = 37.6 - 5.37a

5.37a = 37.6

Make a the subject of formula

a = 37.6 / 5.37

a = 7.0 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the plane to bring the plane to a halt is 7 m/s^2

A 5 kgkg sphere having a charge of ++ 8 μCμC is placed on a scale, which measures its weight in newtons. A second sphere having
Mrac [35]

Answer:

 F_Balance = 46.6 N    ,m' = 4,755 kg

Explanation:

In this exercise, when the sphere is placed on the balance, it indicates the weight of the sphere, when another sphere of opposite charge is placed, they are attracted so that the balance reading decreases, resulting in

          ∑ F = 0

          Fe –W + F_Balance = 0

         F_Balance = - Fe + W

           

The electric force is given by Coulomb's law

          Fe = k q₁ q₂ / r₂

The weight is

          W = mg

Let's replace

           F_Balance = mg - k q₁q₂ / r₂

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

          q₁ = + 8 μC = +8 10⁻⁶ C

          q₂ = - 3 μC = - 3 10⁻⁶ C

          r = 0.3 m = 0.3 m

Let's calculate

         F_Balance = 5 9.8 - 8.99 10⁹  8 10⁻⁶ 3 10⁻⁶ / (0.3)²

         F_Balance = 49 - 2,397

         F_Balance = 46.6 N

This is the balance reading, if it is calibrated in kg, it must be divided by the value of the gravity acceleration.

Mass reading is

          m' = F_Balance / g

          m' = 46.6 /9.8

          m' = 4,755 kg

When you drop soap on the ground does the ground get dirty or does the soap get clean?
Greeley [361]

No, and no.  In fact, the consequences are exactly opposite to your description.  

When you drop soap on the ground, the soap ... which had been clean ... gets dirty, and the ground ... which had been dirty ... gets clean.

What happens when a substance undergoes a physical change
zysi [14]

Physical changes are those which do not affect the chemical properties of a substance. For example, when a paper is cut, the two pieces obtained are still paper. The chemical properties have not changed. Only, physically when one piece is cut to two. A chemical change occurs when the chemical properties change and a new substance with different chemical properties is obtained. For example, when the paper is burnt, it turns to ashes. Hence, this is a chemical change.

When a substance undergoes a physical change, the physical properties of the substance changes like the state (solid to liquid during melting), shape, size, volume etc. Many physical changes are reversible whereas, in general many chemical changes are irreversible.
