You are pulling your little sister on her sled across an icy (frictionless) surface. When you exert a constant horizontal force

of 120 N , the sled has an acceleration of 2.3 m/s2 . Part A If the sled has a mass of 8.0 kg , what is the mass of your little sister

Answer:

Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, the magnitude of force applied on the sled is given by the following formula:

F = ma

where,

F = Force Applied = 120 N

a = Acceleration = 2.3 m/s²

m = Mass of Sled + Mass of Little Sister = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Therefore,

120 N = (2.3 m/s²)(8 kg + Mass of Little Sister)

(120 N)/(2.3 m/s²) = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Mass of Little Sister = 52.17 kg - 8 kg

<u>Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg</u>

An energy transformation occurs and results in increased disorder.
Zinaida [17]

Answer: 5) The second law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

According to the <u>second principle of thermodynamics:</u>  

<em>"The amount of entropy in the universe tends to increase over time"</em>

So, in this context, entropy is a thermodynamic quantity defined as a criterion to predict the evolution or transformation of thermodynamic systems. In addition, it is used to measure the degree of organization of a system.  

In other words: <u>Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system</u> and is a function of state.

A frictionless toy car is placed on a ramp, which is inclined at an unknown angle with respect to the horizontal. Starting from
NikAS [45]

The final speed of the toy car at the end of the given time period is 3.58 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • distance traveled by the car, s = 1.2 m
  • time of motion of the car, t = 0.67 s
  • initial velocity of the car, u = 0

The acceleration of the car is calculated as;

s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\1.2 = 0 + 0.5\times a\times (0.67)^2\\\\1.2 = 0.225a\\\\a = \frac{1.2}{0.225} \\\\a = 5.33 \ m/s^2

The final velocity of the toy car is calculated as;

v_f^2 = u^2 + 2as\\\\v_f^2 = 0 + 2\times 5.33 \times 1.2\\\\v_f^2 = 12.792\\\\v_f = \sqrt{12.792} \\\\v_f = 3.58 \ m/s

Thus, the final speed of the toy car at the end of the given time period is 3.58 m/s.

when the sun and moon are in a line with the earth, the: group of answer choices arrival of high tide will be delayed. gravitati
Alecsey [184]

When the sun, moon, and Earth are lined up (during a new or full moon), the solar tide adds to the lunar tide to produce extremely high  tides and very low tides, both of which are known as spring tides.

  • Basically describes a situation in astronomy where three celestial bodies align in a straight line as part of a gravitational system. The phrase is frequently used to describe how the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in a straight line.
  • The moon is responsible for causing high and low tides. The tidal force is produced by the moon's gravitational pull. Earth and its water protrude outward on both the side that is closest to and farthest from the moon as a result of the tidal force. These watery peaks are high tide
