539000J


PE = mgh


PE = 500kg * 9.8m/s * 110m


PE = 539000J

Which chemical reaction is the fastest?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

D. Baking soda produces bubbles when vinegar is poured on it.

Explanation:

Acetic acid = C₂H₄O₂

Baking soda = NaHCO₃

C₂H₄O₂ + NaHCO₃ → NaC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O + CO₂

When baking soda is added to vinegar, a chemical reaction will take place producing a huge amount of carbon-dioxide in the form of bubbles in the foaming mixture.

A small ball is attached to one end of a spring that has an unstrained length of 0.169 m. The spring is held by the other end, a
Nadya [2.5K]

The ball moves around in circular motion. The centripetal force keeping it in circular motion is given by:

F = mv²/r

F = centripetal force, m = mass of ball, v = velocity of ball, r = radius of motion

The force the spring exerts on the ball is given by:

F = kΔx

F = spring force, k = spring constant, Δx = change of spring length

The spring provides the centripetal force that keeps the ball in circular motion, so set the spring force equal to the centripetal force:

kΔx = mv²/r

Let's do some algebra:

m/k = rΔx/v²

Now if we attach the same spring to the ceiling with the ball still fixed to one end and let the ball hang in static equilibrium, the spring force would balance the ball's weight:

kΔx' = mg

k = spring constant, Δx' = new change in spring length, m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration

Let's do some more algebra:

Δx' = gm/k

Substitute m/k with our previous result, rΔx/v²:

Δx' = grΔx/v²

Given values:

g = 9.81m/s²

r = 0.169m + 0.0131m = 0.1821m

Δx = 0.0131m

v = 3.15m/s

Plug in the values and solve for Δx':

Δx' = 9.81(0.1821)(0.0131)/3.15²

Δx' = 0.0024m

A 10-kg mass slides down a flat hill that makes an angle of 10° with the horizontal. If friction is negligible, what is the resu
slega [8]

Answer:

Resultant force = 17.02 N

Explanation:

As we assume the coefficient of friction is negligible, the normal force won't affect the resultant force.

As a result of this, the sine of the angle times the force of gravity on the 10 kg mass is equal to the resultant force, which is, force due to gravity = m × a = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 98 N

98 sin(10)=?

Sin(10)= 0.1736

98 x 0.1736= 17.02 N.

Therefore, the resultant force = 17.02 N

How does the scientific meaning of the words work, energy, force and efficiency compare to their every day meaning? State the si
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Force

If you're taking classical physics, simply stated, a force is a push or a pull of some sort. But there is one other very important thing to understand about Force. A true Force is always an interaction (at least from a classical perspective). That means that forces always come in pairs. This is stated in Newton's Third Law (equal and opposite forces). Every action must have a reaction. This is required for all true forces. Another consequence of this is that force is a vector, meaning it has a magnitude and a direction. The action and reaction will always be opposite in direction.

A lot of people will say F=ma. This is true. However, it is important to keep in mind that this definition is a calculational tool. It is more precise to say the Sum of all forces=ma. The point is that ma is not a force. Forces are things like weight, tension, normal, friction, gravity, electrostatic, magnetic, and various other applied forces. The sum of forces on an object equals the product of its mass times its acceleration.

It is important to keep in mind that the force is on the object that accelerates. Another way to state this is that objects cannot accelerate themselves. You cannot push yourself back (or forwards). But if you push a heavy object like a desk forwards, then the desk can push you back.

Energy

There are many kinds of energy. There are two important things to know.

Energy is the ability to do work. It doesn't mean work is being done, but that work can be done. (So you can see there is an intimate relationship between work and energy).

Energy is conserved. That means the total amount of energy is always constant. If the energy is a system changes somehow, that means some work was done in order to move the energy from one system to another.

Energy is also a scalar (given that Work is a scalar).
