A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 90.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force

is negligible. The block starts from rest and moves a distance 13.0 m in a time of 4.50 s .(a) What is the mass of the block of ice?

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

whats an isotope? give the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral atom of each of the following isotopes, Carbo
melamori03 [73]
Isotopes refer to different atoms of the same element (i.e. same number of protons) that differ in the number of neutrons they have (giving them different atomic weights). Atomic weight is the sum of protons and neutrons (each contributes 1 atomic mass unit).

Carbon has 6 protons by definition. If you have a carbon-13 atom (the 13 referring to its mass), the atom has 13 - 6 = 7 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 6 electrons.

Sulfur has 16 protons by definition. If you have a sulfur-32 atom, the atom has 32 - 16 = 16 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 16 electrons.

Virty [35]

There is a total of 6 half lives that need to take place.


ONE HALF LIFE = 200

TWO HALF LIFES = 100

THREE HALF LIFES  = 50

FOUR HALF LIFES = 25

FIVE HALF LIFES = 12.5

SIX HALF LIFES = 6.25


The answer is 6.25g
