How does Newton's second law of motion can be used to calculate the acceleration of an object?

1 answer:

4 0

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Estimate the mass of the Great Pyramid of Giza, in tons. You make may use of the following information: the Great Pyramid is in

postnew [5]

Answer:

6005803.83105 short tons

Explanation:

The definition of density is $\rho = \frac{m}{V}$ , and the volume of a pyramid is (confusingly written on the proposal) $V=\frac{1}{3} Ah$ , so we can write:

$m=\rho V=\rho V \frac{1}{3} Ah=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h$

Where s is the side of the base, being $s^2$ the area of that square.

We will write everything in S.I., and the best way to convert units is using conversion factors, for example, since 1m=100cm, we know that $\frac{1m}{100cm}=1$ , and we can use this factor to convert anything written in cm to anything written in m. Example:

$500cm=500cm\frac{1m}{100cm}=5m$

Here we just multiplied 500cm by something that is equal to 1 (as every conversion factor must), so <em>it's not doing anything but changing the units</em>.

We can use this tool like this:

$2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}=2.1\frac{g}{cm^3}(\frac{1Kg}{1000g})(\frac{100cm}{1m})^3=2100Kg/m^3$

Where we have used the fact that $1^3=1$ (<u>we can elevate any conversion factor to any number and they still will be 1</u>) and where we have placed strategically what is the numerator and what in the denominator so the units we don't want cancel out and the units we want appear.

Substituting then our values:

$m=\rho V \frac{1}{3} s^2h=(2100Kg/m^3)\frac{1}{3} (230.34m)^2(146.7m)=5448373586.96Kg$

And now we will convert to short tons using two conversion factors at the same time:

$m=5448373586.96\ Kg(\frac{1\ lb}{0.45359237\ Kg})(\frac{1\ short\ ton}{2000\ lb} )=6005803.83105\ short \ tons$

Remember, their value is 1, and we place the units to cancel the ones we don't want and keep the ones we want, here Kg cancel out, and lb cancel out, leaving the short tones.

An emf is induced in a conducting loop of wire 1.22 m long as its shape is changed from square to circular. Find the average mag

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The induced emf in the loop is $7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V$

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 1.22 m

It changes its shape is changed from square to circular. Then the side of square be its circumference, 4a = L

4a = 1.22

a = 0.305 m

Area of square, $A=a^2=(0.305)^2=0.0930\ m^2$

Circumference of the loop,

$C=2\pi r=L\\\\r=\dfrac{L}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.22}{2\pi}=0.194\ m$

Area of circle,

$A'=\pi r^2\\A'=\pi (0.194)^2\\\\A'=0.118\ m^2$

The induced emf is given by :

$\epsilon=\dfrac{\d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\dfrac{\d(BA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=B\dfrac{A'-A}{t}\\\\\epsilon=0.125 \times \dfrac{0.118-0.0930}{4.25}\\\\\epsilon=7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V$

So, the induced emf in the loop is $7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V$

In a shipping yard, a crane operator attaches a cable to a 1,400 kg shipping container and then uses the crane to lift the conta

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of crane $m=1400\ kg$

distance moved $d=40\ m$

Since it is moving with a constant velocity therefore net force on it is zero

Tension force=weight

T=mg

Work done by Tension T is

$W_T=T\cdot d$

$W_T=1400\times 9.8\cdot 40$

$W_T=548.8\ KJ$

Work done by Gravity will be equal in magnitude but opposite in sign and can be obtained by work energy theorem which states that change in kinetic energy of object is equal to work done by all the forces

$W_T+W_g=0$

$W_g=-548.8\ KJ$
