The cart is initially at rest. Force F⃗ is applied to the cart for time Δ t, after which the car has speed v. Suppose the same f

orce is applied for the same time to a second cart with twice the mass. Friction is negligible. Afterward, the second carts speed will be

Answer:

v / 2

Explanation:

Force F is applied for Δ t time so

impulse = FΔ t

impulse = m( v -u )

= m( v -0 )

= mv

If same force is applied for the same time on mass 2m

FΔ t = 2m v_x

= mv = 2m v_x

v_x = v / 2

Cindy saw her mother heating a wet pan on the stove. As the pan got hotter, the water on the outside began to dry. Why?

dlinn [17]

Answer:

As the temperature of materials increase, the objects find a phenomenon called change of phase.

This means that if you give enough heat to a liquid, this can change of state from liquid state to gas state (the water evaporates)

So the water in the pan reaches the evaporation temperature (around 100°C) and it starts to evaporate, this is why the water on the outside begins to "dry"

How does wood and plastic relate to forces

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

There are six kinds of forces that act on objects when they come into contact with one another: Normal force, applied force, frictional force, tension force, spring force and resisting force. These forces make objects change their motion or movement , the act of going from one place to another.

A satellite is in a circular orbit around Mars, which has a mass M = 6.40 × 1023 kg and radius R = 3.40 ×106 m.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

a) The orbital speed of a satellite with a orbital radius R (in meters) will have an orbital speed of approximately $\displaystyle \sqrt\frac{4.27 \times 10^{13}}{R}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

b) Again, if the orbital radius R is in meters, the orbital period of the satellite would be approximately $\displaystyle 9.62 \times 10^{-7}\, R^{3/2}\; \rm s$ .

c) The orbital radius required would be approximately $\rm 2.04 \times 10^7\; m$ .

d) The escape velocity from the surface of that planet would be approximately $\rm 5.01\times 10^3\; m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

<h3>a)</h3>

Since the orbit of this satellite is circular, it is undergoing a centripetal motion. The planet's gravitational attraction on the satellite would supply this centripetal force.

The magnitude of gravity between two point or spherical mass is equal to:

$\displaystyle \frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r^{2}}$ ,

where

$G$ is the constant of universal gravitation.
$M$ is the mass of the first mass. (In this case, let $M$ be the mass of the planet.)
$m$ is the mass of the second mass. (In this case, let $m$ be the mass of the satellite.)
$r$ is the distance between the center of mass of these two objects.

On the other hand, the net force on an object in a centripetal motion should be:

$\displaystyle \frac{m \cdot v^{2}}{r}$ ,

where

$m$ is the mass of the object (in this case, that's the mass of the satellite.)
$v$ is the orbital speed of the satellite.
$r$ is the radius of the circular orbit.

Assume that gravitational force is the only force on the satellite. The net force should be equal to the planet's gravitational attraction on the satellite. Equate the two expressions and solve for $v$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r^{2}} = \frac{m \cdot v^{2}}{r}$ .

$\displaystyle v^2 = \frac{G \cdot M}{r}$ .

$\displaystyle v = \sqrt{\frac{G \cdot M}{r}}$ .

Take $G \approx 6.67 \times \rm 10^{-11} \; m^3 \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot s^{-2}$ , Simplify the expression $v$ :

$\begin{aligned} v &= \sqrt{\frac{G \cdot M}{r}} \cr &= \sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times \rm 10^{-11} \times 6.40 \times 10^{23}}{r}} \cr &\approx \sqrt{\frac{4.27 \times 10^{13}}{r}} \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \end{aligned}$ .

<h3>b)</h3>

Since the orbit is a circle of radius $R$ , the distance traveled in one period would be equal to the circumference of that circle, $2 \pi R$ .

Divide distance with speed to find the time required.

$\begin{aligned} t &= \frac{s}{v} \cr &= 2 \pi R}\left/\sqrt{\frac{G \cdot M}{R}} \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right. \cr &= \frac{2\pi R^{3/2}}{\sqrt{G \cdot M}} \cr &\approx 9.62 \times 10^{-7}\, R^{3/2}\; \rm s\end{aligned}$ .

<h3>c)</h3>

Convert $24.6\; \rm \text{hours}$ to seconds:

$24.6 \times 3600 = 88560\; \rm s$

Solve the equation for $R$ :

$9.62 \times 10^{-7}\, R^{3/2}= 88560$ .

$R \approx 2.04 \times 10^7\; \rm m$ .

<h3>d)</h3>

If an object is at its escape speed, its kinetic energy (KE) plus its gravitational potential energy (GPE) should be equal to zero.

$\displaystyle \text{GPE} = -\frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r}$ (Note the minus sign in front of the fraction. GPE should always be negative or zero.)

$\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^{2}$ .

Solve for $v$ . The value of $m$ shouldn't matter, for it would be eliminated from both sides of the equation.

$\displaystyle -\frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r} + \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^{2}= 0$ .

$\displaystyle v = \sqrt{\frac{2\, G \cdot M}{R}} \approx 5.01\times 10^{3}\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ .
