If you ignore air resistance after an initial force launches a projectile, name all forces acting on it as it moves through the

air. What does this force cause the object to do?

Answer:

Neglecting air resistance, the only force acting on a projectile is gravity.

This force causes the object to accelerate.

Explanation:

As a projectile moves upward, there is a downward force and a downward acceleration due to force of gravity. That is, as the object is moving upward, force of gravity acting on the projectile is causing a steady slowing down of the projectile.

Hence, Gravity is the downward force upon a projectile that influences its vertical motion and causes the parabolic trajectory that is characteristic of projectiles.

From Newton's law of motion, it suggest that force is required to cause an acceleration and not motion. Therefore, force of gravity causes the object to accelerate downwards.

What total mass must be converted into energy
Eduardwww [97]

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
 
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

ruslelena [56]
The harmonic frequency of a musical instrument is the minimum frequency at which a string that is fixed at both ends in the instrument may vibrate. The harmonic frequency is known as the first harmonic. Each subsequent harmonic has a frequency equal to:
n*f, where n is the number of the harmonic and f is the harmonic frequency. Therefore, the harmonic frequency may be calculated using:
f = 100 / 2
f = 50 Hz

An electromagnet is strong enough to lift 200 kg of mass. If you double the number of turns of wire around the core and triple t
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:1200 kg

Explanation:

Given

Electromagnet can lift a mass of  200\ kg

Magnetic force necessary to hold mass is proportional to Magnetic field

and magnetic field (B) is proportional to NIA

where N=no of turns

I=current in the magnet

A=area of cross-section

When we double the no of turns and triple the current then

N becomes 2 N

I becomes 3 I

therefore magnetic field becomes 6 times

Thus magnetic force becomes 6 times and we can say that electromagnet can hold the 6 times of given weight

i.e. 6\times 200=1200\ kg
