A student sets up an experiment to determine the inertial mass of a cart. The student has access to the following measurement eq

uipment: a spring scale, a meterstick, and a stopwatch. The student uses the spring scale to pull the cart starting from rest along a horizontal surface such that the reading on the spring scale is always constant. All frictional forces are negligible. In addition to the spring-scale reading, which two of the following quantities could the student measure with the available equipment and then use to determine the inertial mass of the cart? Select two answers.

Answer:

i. The total distance traveled by the cart after it has been in motion.

ii. The average speed of the cart while in motion.

Explanation:

Inertial mass is a measure of an object's resistance to acceleration when a force is applied. So in determining the inertial mass, force and acceleration are important.

From Newton's second law of motion, the force on an object is equal to the objects mass multiplied by it's acceleration;

                       F = m × a

The spring scales determines or measures the value of the force.

The acceleration of the cart can be determined as it moves by the use of the meter stick and stop watch.

With the known values of displacement of the spring and acceleration, then the mass can be calculated.

A 0.150 kg ball on the end of a 1.10 m long cord (negligible mass)is swung in a vertical circle..
Aneli [31]
<span> For any body to move in a circle it requires the centripetal force (mv^2)/r. In this case a ball is moving in a vertical circle swung by a mass less cord. At the top of its arc if we draw its free body diagram and equate the forces in radial direction to the centripetal force we get it as T +mg =(mv^2)/r T is tension in cord m is mass of ball r is length of cord (radius of the vertical circle) To get the minimum value of velocity the LHS should be minimum. This is possible when T = 0. So minimum speed of ball v at top =sqrtr(rg)=sqrt(1.1*9.81) = 3.285 m/s In the second case the speed of ball at top = (2*3.285) =6.57 m/s Let us take the lowest point of the vertical circle as reference for potential energy and apllying the conservation of energy equation between top & bottom we get velocity at bottom as 9.3m/s. Now by drawing the free body diagram of the ball at the bottom and equating the net radial force to the centripetal force T-mg=(mv^2)/r We get tension in cord T=13.27 N</span>

A rope is tied to a box and used to pull the box 2.3 m along a horizontal floor. The rope makes an angle of 30∘ with the horizon
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

A) The work done by gravity is zero because displacement and the gravitational force are perpendicular to each other.

W= FS cosθ

θ= 90 ⇒cos90 = 0 ⇒W= 0

B) work done by tension

W= Tcosθ×S= 5cos30×2.30= 10J

C) Work done by friction force

W= f×s=1×2.30= 2.30 J

D) Work done by normal force is Zero because the displacement and the normal force are perpendicular to each other.

E) The net work done= Work done by tension in the rope - frictional work

=10-2.30= 7.7 J

A school bus moves at speed of 35 mi/hr for 20 miles. How long will it take the bus to get to school
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming school is at the end of the 20 mile route, then

20 mi / 35 mi/hr = 0.57142...hr

which is about 34 minutes 17 seconds

A car accelerates from rest at 3.6 m/s 2 . How much time does it need to attain a speed of 5 m/s?
Olenka [21]

car starts from rest

v_i = 0

final speed attained by the car is

v_f = 5 m/s

acceleration of the car will be

a = 3.6 m/s^2

now the time to reach this final speed will be

t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}

t = \frac{5 - 0}{3.6}

t = 1.39 s

so it required 1.39 s to reach this final speed
