Answer:

The mass of the ice block is equal to 70.15 kg

Explanation:

The data for this exercise are as follows:

F=90 N

insignificant friction force

x=13 m

t=4.5 s

m=?

applying the equation of rectilinear motion we have:

x = xo + vot + at^2/2

where xo = initial distance =0

vo=initial velocity = 0

a is the acceleration

therefore the equation is:

x = at^2/2

Clearing a:

a=2x/t^2=(2x13)/(4.5^2)=1.283 m/s^2

we use Newton's second law to calculate the mass of the ice block:

F=ma

m=F/a = 90/1.283=70.15 kg

<h2>Answer:</h2>

70.31kg

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

<em>Step I:</em> Consider Newton's second law of motion which states that;

∑F = m x a;

<em>Where;</em>

∑F = net force acting on a body

m = the mass of the body

a = acceleration due to the force on the body.

<em>Step II:</em><em> Now to the question;</em>

Since frictional force is negligible and the only force acting on the block of ice is the applied force by the dockworker, the net force on the body (block of ice) is the constant horizontal force. i.e

∑F = 90.0N

<em>Also;</em>

the block starts from rest and moves a distance (s) of 13.0m in a time (t) of 4.50s. Here, we can get the acceleration in that duration of time using one

the equations of motion as follows;

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at²            ------------------------------(ii)

<em>Where;</em>

s = distance covered = 13.0m

u = initial velocity = 0      [since the block starts from rest]

t = time taken to cover the distance = 4.50s

a = acceleration of the body.

<em>Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

13.0 = 0(4.5) + \frac{1}{2}(a)(4.50)²

13.0 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}(a)(20.25)

13.0 = \frac{1}{2}(a)(20.25)

13.0 = 10.125a

Solve for a;

a = \frac{13.0}{10.125}

a = 1.28m/s²

<em>Step III:</em> Now substitute the values of a = 1.28m/s² and ∑F = 90.0N into equation (i) as follows;

90.0 = m x 1.28

m = \frac{90.0}{1.28}

m = 70.31

Therefore, the mass of the block of ice is 70.31kg

A batter hits a fly ball which leaves the bat 0.89 m above the ground at an angle of 62 ∘ with an initial speed of 29 m/s headin
KatRina [158]

consider the motion in Y-direction

v₀ = initial velocity = 29 Sin62 = 25.6 m/s

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel

Y = vertical displacement = - 0.89 m

using the equation

Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

- 0.89 = (25.6) t + (0.5) (- 9.8) t²

t = 5.3 sec


consider the motion along the horizontal direction :

v₀ = initial velocity = 29 Cos62 = 13.6 m/s

a = acceleration = 0 m/s²

t = time of travel = 5.3 sec

X = horizontal displacement =?

using the equation

X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

X = (13.6) (5.3) + (0.5) (0) t²

X = 72.1 m


d = distance traveled by the center fielder to catch the ball = 107 - x = 107 - 72.1 = 34.9 m

t = time taken = 5.3 sec

v = speed of center fielder

using the equation

v = d/t

v = 34.9/5.3

v = 6.6 m/s

A small hot-air balloon is filled with 1.01×106 l of air (d = 1.20 g/l). as the air in the balloon is heated, it expands to 1.10
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>Volume of air in the balloon 1.01 x 10^6 L
 Density of air is 1.20 g/l
 Mass = Density X Volume

 So mass of the air in the Balloon= ( 1.01 x 10^6) X 1.20 = 1.212 x 10^6 g
 As the air is heated, the volume of air in the balloon expands to 1.10x 10^6 L Density= Mass/ voume So the Density of heated air = 1.212 x 10^6/ 1.10x 10^6 = 1.101 g/l The answer is 1.101 g/l.</span>

1. Which system has a higher random, average kinetic energy of its atoms, a glass of iced tea or a cup of hot tea?
natita [175]
The average kinetic energy of the particles is higher in the hot tea, so it also has greater thermal energy then the cold tea.
