If the net force on an object is in a negative direction, what will the direction of the resulting acceleration be?

1 answer:

5 0

Newton's 2nd law says: Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

I wrote Force and acceleration in bold letters because
they're both vectors ... they have size and direction.

The equation is saying that the Force and the acceleration
are both in the same direction.

Which of the following terms is best described as the number of waves that pass a point in one second? A) wave speed B) period C

ehidna [41]

The term that best describes how many waves that pass? It's frequency because how many waves are passed by a given point or time is called the waves frequency. I hope this helped you out on your assignment.

A round pipe of varying diameter carries petroleum from a wellhead to a refinery. At the wellhead, the pipe's diameter is 50.9 c

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Flow rate 2.34 m3/s

Diameter 0.754 m

Explanation:

Assuming steady flow, the volume flow rate along the pipe will always be constant, and equals to the product of flow speed and cross-section area.

The area at the well head is

$A = \pi r_w^2 = \pi (0.509/2)^2 = 0.203 m^2$

So the volume flow rate along the pipe is

$\dot{V} = Av = 0.203 * 11.5 = 2.34 m^3/s$

We can use the similar logic to find the cross-section area at the refinery

$A_r = \dot{V}/v_r = 2.34 / 5.25 = 0.446 m^2$

The radius of the pipe at the refinery is:

$A_r = \pi r^2$

$r^2 =A_r/\pi = 0.446/\pi = 0.141$

$r = \sqrt{0.141} = 0.377m$

So the diameter is twice the radius = 0.38*2 = 0.754m

A student attempted to measure the specific latent heat of vaporisation of water.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.4 kJ/g

Explanation:

The given readings are;

The first (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₁ = 581 g

The second (mass) balance reading (of the water) in grams, m₂ = 526 g

The first joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₁ = 195 kJ

The second joulemeter reading in kilojoules (kJ), Q₂ = 327 kJ

The latent heat of vaporization = The heat required to evaporate a given mass water at constant temperature

Based on the measurements, we have;

The latent heat of vaporization = ΔQ/Δm

∴ The latent heat of vaporization of water = (327 kJ - 195 kJ)/(581 g - 526 g) = 2.4 kJ/g

The latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.4 kJ/g

A 4.3-kg block slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Starting from rest, the block slide

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

0.56

Explanation:

Let the coefficient of friction is μ.

m = 4.3 kg, θ = 30 degree, initial velocity, u = 0, s = 2.7 m, t = 5.8 s

By the free body diagram,

Normal reaction, N = mg Cosθ = 4.3 x 9.8 x Cos 30 = 36.49 N

Friction force, f = μ N = 36.49 μ

Net force acting on the block,

Fnet = mg Sinθ - f = 4.3 x 9.8 x Sin 30 - 36.49 μ

Fnet = 21.07 - 36.49μ

Net acceleartion, a = Fnet / m

a = (21.07 - 36.49μ) / 4.3

use second equation of motion

s = ut + 1/2 a t^2

2.7 = 0 + 1/2 x (21.07 - 36.49μ) x 5.8 x 5.8 / 4.3

By solving we get

μ = 0.56
