The best answer is C) total mass of the team.

In tug of war, the mass of each team is a critical factor in determining which side wins. The team with greater mass will require greater force to move, and also is likely able to exert greater force on the other team due to the correlation between strength and mass.

At what height from the surface of the earth does the value of acceleration due to gravity be 2.45 m/s square where the radius o

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Explanation: RADIUS OF EARTH = 6400X1000m =

ACC DUE GRAVITY ABOVE SURFACE OF EARTH = g' =2.45 m/s^2

ACC DUE GRAVITY ON SURFACE OF EARTH =g= 9.8 m/s^2

A/C TO FORmULA

g'/g=1-2h/Re

g'/g +2h/Re = 1

2h/Re =1- g'/g

2h= (1- g'/g)Re

2h=(1-2.45 /9.8)

6400X1000

2h = (0.75)6400X1000

2h = 4800000

h= 2400000

A 0.75 kilogram apple is thrown upward from the ground. The apple reaches a height of 5.5m, what is the beginning gravitational

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

U(0.0m) = 0J

U(5.5m) = 40.42 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is given by the following formula:

$U=mgh$

h: height

m: mass of the apple = 0.75kg

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

When the apple is at 5.5m from the ground the gravitational potential energy is:

$U=(0.75kg)(9.8m/s^2)(5.5m)=40.42\ J$

when the apple is on the ground you have:

$U=mg(0m)=0\ J$

A 20-kg block is held at rest on the inclined slope by a peg. A 2-kg pendulum starts at rest in a horizontal position when it is

gregori [183]

Complete Question

The diagram of this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The distance the block slides before stopping is $d = 0.313 \ m$

Explanation:

The free body diagram for the diagram in the question is shown

From the diagram the angle is $\theta = 25 ^o$

$sin \theta = \frac{h}{d}$

Where $h = h_b - h_a$

So $d sin \theta = h_b - h_a$

From the question we are told that

The mass of the block is $m = 20 \ kg$

The mass of the pendulum is $m_p = 2 \ kg$

The velocity of the pendulum at the bottom of swing is $v_p = 15 m/s$

The coefficient of restitution is $e =0.7$

The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu _k = 0.5$

The velocity of the block after the impact is mathematically represented as

$v_2 f = \frac{m_b - em_p}{m_b + m_p} * v_2 i + \frac{[1 + e] m_1}{m_1 + m_2 } v_p$

Where $v_2 i$ is the velocity of the block before collision which is 0

$= \frac{20 - (0.7 * 2)}{(2 + 20)} * 0 + \frac{(1 + 0.7) * 2 }{2 + 20} * 15$

Substituting value

$v_2 f = 2.310\ m/s$

According to conservation of energy principle

The energy at point a = energy at point b

So $PE_A + KE _A = PE_B + KE_B + E_F$

Where

$PE_A$ is the potential energy at A which is mathematically represented as

$PE_A = m_b gh_a$ = 0 at the bottom

$KE _A$ is the kinetic energy at A which is mathematically represented as

$K_A = \frac{1}{2} m_b * v_2f^2$

$PE_B$ is the potential energy at B which is mathematically represented as

$PE_B = m_b gh$

From the diagram $h = h_b -h_a$

$PE_B = m_b g(h_b - h_a)$

$KE _B$ is the kinetic energy at B which is 0 (at the top )

Where is $E_F$ is the workdone against velocity which from the diagram is

$\mu_k m_b g cos 25 *d$

So

$\frac{1}{2} m_b v_2 f^2 = m_b g h_b + \mu_k m_b g cos \25 * d$

Substituting values

$\frac{1}{2} * 20 * 2.310^2 = 20 * 9.8 * d sin(25) + 0.5* 20 * 9.8 * cos 25 * d$

So

$d = 0.313 \ m$

As keisha runs the generator, which best describes what should happen to the needle that measures electric current? it will move

SOVA2 [1]

The diagram shows a simple electric generator. The needle that measures electric current will move back and forth between a largely positive and a large negative value.

What is an electric generator?

An electric generator is physically equivalent to an electric motor. but it converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
The electrical field generated is dependent on the inclination of the wire with respect to magnetic field lines, and this inclination changes over time,

because of that she will experience a varying electrical field, and thus a varying electric current will be zero.

The maximum positive value will occur when the wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines after one-fourth of rotation, and then zero.

Hence option C is correct.
