<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 73 N

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Using the formula

2 T cos(30°) = w

Where; T is the tension on each string, while w is the weight of the box given by mg

Therefore;

W = 2Tcos 30°

    = 2 × 42 cos 30°

    = 84 cos 30°

    = 72.74

<u>   ≈ 73 N</u>

Two 800 cm^3 containers hold identical amounts of a monatomic gas at 20°C. Container A is rigid. Container B has a 100 cm^2 pis
Vikki [24]

Answer:

1) Final Temperature of the gas in A will be GREATER than the temperature in B

2) Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below

3) The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4) the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

Explanation:

Given that;

Temperature = 20°C = 293 K

mass of piston = 10 kg

Area = 100cm³

Volume V = 800 cm³ = 0.8 L

ideal gas constant R = 8.3 J/K·mol

1)

Final Temperature of the gas in A will b GREATER than the temperature in B

2)

Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below,

3)

Initial  pressures in containers A and B

PV = nRT

P = RT/V

we substitute

P = (8.3 × 293) /  0.8

P = 2431.9 / 0.8

P = 3039.87 J/liters

Therefore, The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4)

Given that;

power = 25 W

time t = 15s

the final volume of container B = ?

we know that;

work done = power × time

work done = 25 × 15 = 375

Also work done = P( V₂ - V₁ )

so we substitute

375 = 3039.87 ( V₂ - 0.8 )

( V₂ - 0.8 ) = 375 / 3039.87

V₂ - 0.8 = 0.12336

V₂ = 0.12336 + 0.8

V₂ = 0.92336 Litres

V₂ = 923.36 cm³

Therefore, the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

Newer aircraft jet catapult systems use magnets instead of steam. The launch still takes 1.19 seconds, but the acceleration is a
Westkost [7]

Answer:

33.6 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 47.41 m/s²

t = 1.19 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (1.19 s) + ½ (47.41 m/s²) (1.19 s)²

Δx = 33.6 m

A ball with a mass of 2000 g is floating on the surface of a pool of water. What is the minimum volume that the ball could have
Doss [256]

Answer:

2000\; {\rm cm^{3}}.

Explanation:

When the ball is placed in this pool of water, part of the ball would be beneath the surface of the pool. The volume of the water that this ball displaced is equal to the volume of the ball that is beneath the water surface.

The buoyancy force on this ball would be equal in magnitude to the weight of water that this ball has displaced.

Let m(\text{ball}) denote the mass of this ball. Let m(\text{water}) denote the mass of water that this ball has displaced.

Let g denote the gravitational field strength. The weight of this ball would be m(\text{ball}) \, g. Likewise, the weight of water displaced would be m(\text{water})\, g.

For this ball to stay afloat, the buoyancy force on this ball should be greater than or equal to the weight of this ball. In other words:

\text{buoyancy} \ge m(\text{ball})\, g.

At the same time, buoyancy is equal in magnitude the the weight of water displaced. Thus:

\text{buoyancy} = m(\text{water}) \, g.

Therefore:

m(\text{water})\, g = \text{buoyancy} \ge m(\text{ball})\, g.

m(\text{water}) \ge m(\text{ball}).

In other words, the mass of water that this ball displaced should be greater than or equal to the mass of of the ball. Let \rho(\text{water}) denote the density of water. The volume of water that this ball should displace would be:

\begin{aligned}V(\text{water}) &= \frac{m(\text{water})}{\rho(\text{water})} \\ &\ge \frac{m(\text{ball}))}{\rho(\text{water})}  \end{aligned}.

Given that m(\text{ball}) = 2000\; {\rm g} while \rho = 1.00\; {\rm g\cdot cm^{-3}}:

\begin{aligned}V(\text{water}) &\ge \frac{m(\text{ball}))}{\rho(\text{water})}  \\ &= \frac{2000\; {\rm g}}{1.00\; {\rm g\cdot cm^{-3}}} \\ &= 2000\; {\rm cm^{3}}\end{aligned}.

In other words, for this ball to stay afloat, at least 2000\; {\rm cm^{3}} of the volume of this ball should be under water. Therefore, the volume of this ball should be at least 2000\; {\rm cm^{3}}\!.
