Given:

mass = 6 kg

velocity = 4 m/s

To find:

Kinetic energy of the cart = ?

Formula used:

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

Where m = mass of the cart

v = velocity with which the cart is moving

Solution:

Kinetic energy of the moving cart is given by,

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

Where m = mass of the cart

v = velocity with which the cart is moving

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times \ 4 \times 4$

Kinetic energy = 48 Joule

Thus, the kinetic energy of the moving cart is 48 Joule.

If an exit sign is hanging from the ceiling by three chains each of which has a tension of 15N what is the weight of the sign

kvasek [131]

The weight is 45 N, because the three chains hold the sign, and each contributes 15 N.

Notice that the mass would be the weight/acceleration of gravity, m = 45/9.8 kg. But they ask the weight (force, so Newtons)

Please help I'll mark brainliest!!!!

This question is based on the fundamental assumption of vector direction.

A vector is a physical quantity which has magnitude as well direction for its complete specification.

The magnitude of a physical quantity is simply a numerical number .Hence it can not be negative.

A negative vector is a vector which comes into existence when it is opposite to our assumed direction with respect to any other vector. For instance, the vector is taken positive if it is along + X axis and negative if it is along - X axis.

As per the first option it is given that a vector is negative if its magnitude is greater than 1. It is not correct as magnitude play no role in it.

The second option tells that the magnitude of the vector is less than 1. Magnitude can not be negative. So this is also wrong.

Third one tells that a vector is negative if its displacement is along north. It does not give any detail information about the negativity of a vector.

In a general sense we assume that vertically downward motion is negative and vertically upward is positive. In case of a falling object the motion is vertically downward. So the velocity of that object is negative .

So last option is partially correct as the vector can be negative depending on our choice of co-ordinate system.

Ali mixes 20g of Sodium Chloride in 100g of water at 15 Degree °C. Calculate the mass of the solution

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The mass of the solution is 120 g.

Explanation:

The mass of the solution is given by:

$m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2}$

Where:

$m_{sol}$ : is the mass of the solution

$m_{1}$ : is the mass of the solvent

$m_{2}$ : is the mass of the solute

In the solution, the solvent is the majority compound (in mass) and the solute is the minority (in mass), so the solvent is the water and the solute is sodium chloride.

Hence, the mass of the solution is:

$m_{sol} = m_{1} + m_{2} = 100 g + 20 g = 120 g$
