Manuel is holding a 5kg box. How much force is the box exerting on him?In what direction

1 answer:

3 0

The force the box is exerting on Manuel is the weight of the box, downward:
$W=mg=(5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=49.05 N$
and this force is perfectly balanced by the constraint reaction applied by Manuel's hand, pushing upward.

A sealed container holding 0.0255 L of an ideal gas at 0.981 atm and 65 ∘ C is placed into a refrigerator and cooled to 41 ∘ C w

user100 [1]

Answer:

0.911 atm

Explanation:

In this problem, there is no change in volume of the gas, since the container is sealed.

Therefore, we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"For a fixed mass of an ideal gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature"

Mathematically:

$p\propto T$

where

p is the gas pressure

T is the absolute temperature

For a gas undergoing a transformation, the law can be rewritten as:

$\frac{p_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2}{T_2}$

where in this problem:

$p_1=0.981 atm$ is the initial pressure of the gas

$T_1=65^{\circ}+273=338 K$ is the initial absolute temperature of the gas

$T_2=41^{\circ}+273=314 K$ is the final temperature of the gas

Solving for p2, we find the final pressure of the gas:

$p_2=\frac{p_1 T_2}{T_1}=\frac{(0.981)(314)}{338}=0.911 atm$

One billiard ball is shot east at 2.2 m/s. A second, identical billiard ball is shot west at 0.80 m/s. The balls have a glancing

Leona [35]

Answer:

(a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of one ball u₁= 2.2i m/s

Velocity of second ball u₂=- 0.80i m/s

Final velocity of the second ball v₂= 1.36j m/s

The mass of the identical balls are

$m = m_{1}=m_{2}$

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the first ball after the collision

Using law of conservation of momentum

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

Along X- axis

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}$

$v_{1}=u_{1}+u_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=2.2i-0.80i$

$v_{1}=1.4i\ m/s$

Along Y-axis

$0=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}$

$m_{1}v_{1}=-m_{2}v_{2}$

$v_{1}=-v_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{1}=-1.36j\ m/s$

Then the final speed of the first ball

$v_{1}=\sqrt{(1.4)^2+(1.36)^2}$

$v_{1}=1.95\ m/s$

(b) We need to calculate the direction of the first ball after the collision

Using formula of direction

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}$

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-1.36}{1.4}$

$\theta=-44.16^{\circ}$

Negative sign shows the direction of first ball .

Hence, (a). The speed of the first ball after the collision is 1.95 m/s.

(b). The direction of the first ball after the collision is 44.16° due south of east.
