What is the approximate weight of a 20-kg cannonball on earth?

Physics

disa [49]3 years ago

The weight of an object is taken to be the force on the object due to gravity. The weight ( W ) is the product of the mass ( m ) of the object and the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration ( g ).
On Earth: g = 9.81 m/s²
m = 20 kg
W = m · g = 20 kg · 9.81 m/s² = 196.2 N

A 2.00-kg object traveling east at 20.0 m/s collides with a 3.00-kg object traveling west at 10.0 m/s.
ELEN [110]
Momentum = mass x velocity

Before collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x 20 m /s = 40 kg x m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x -10m/s = -30 kg x m/s

After collision
Momentum 1 = 2 kg x -5 m/s = -10 m/s
Momentum 2 = 3 kg x V2 = 3V2

Total momentum before = total momentum after
40 + -30 = -10 + 3V2
V2 = <span>6.67 m/s

Total kinetic energy before
</span><span>= (1/2) [ 2 kg * 20 m/s * 2 + 3 kg * ( -10 m/s) *2 ]
= 550 J
</span>
<span>Total kinetic energy after
</span>= (1/2) [ 2 kg * ( - 5 m/s) * 2 + 3 kg * 6.67 m/s *2 ]
= 91.73 J

Total kinetic energy lost during collision
=<span>550 J - 91.73 J
= 458.27 J</span>

What is the magnitude of the net torque on the pulley about the axle?
jeyben [28]

Answer: Torque= tangential force × radius of the pulley

Explanation:

Pulley is a simple machine which helps us to lift loads by applying the force in a convenient direction. It consists of a grooved wheel which is free to rotate about an axle passing through the center of the pulley.

For a pulley, the torque T= tangential force × radius of the pulley

Pulleys can be used in combination also to achieve a desired output.

Grocery store managers contend that there is less total energy consumption in the summer if the store is kept at a low temperatu
butalik [34]

Answer:

Argument in favor of less total energy consumption if the store is kept at a low temperature

Explanation:

Have in mind that if the store has numerous refrigerators and freezers, the energy consumption of those machines have to be included into the analysis.

Recall that the efficiency (or Coefficient Of Performance - COP) of a frezzer or refrigerator is inversely proportional to the temperature difference between the inside of th machine and the environment where it is operation, therefore the smaller the difference, the highest their efficiency. Therefore, the cooler the environment (the temperature at which the store is kept) the better performance of the running refrigerators and freezers.

The period of a simple pendulum is 3.5 s. The length of the pendulum is doubled. What is the period T of the longer pendulum?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Explanation:

T = 2π√(L/g)

If you increase L to 2L, the period is increased by a factor of √2

T = 3.5√2 ≈ 4.9 s
