Your shopping cart has a mass of 65 kilograms, In order to accelerate the shopping cart down an aisle at 0.3 m/sec2, what force

would you need to use or apply to the cart?

Remember Newton's second law: F=ma

to get the force in newtons, mass should be in kg and acceleration in m/s^2

conveniently, we don't need to convert units

we just need to multiply the two to get the force

65* 0.3 = 19.5 kg m/s^2 or N

if significant digit is an issue, the least number if sig figs is 1 so the answer would be 20 N

How many protons are in the radioactive isotope 40/19K?
trasher [3.6K]
First we have to establish that the number of protons is equivalent to the atomic number of element. Here I am assuming that you are referring to Potassium (K) - 40. Potassium, stable or unstable has 19 protons.

A bag containing 0ºC ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount of 0ºC water.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Explanation:

Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart such that, in the liquid, the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature. Similarly, energy is needed to vaporize a liquid, because molecules in a liquid interact with each other via attractive forces. There is no temperature change until a phase change is complete. The temperature of a cup of soda initially at 0ºC stays at 0ºC until all the ice has melted. Conversely, energy is released during freezing and condensation, usually in the form of thermal energy. Work is done by cohesive forces when molecules are brought together. The corresponding energy must be given off (dissipated) to allow them to stay together Figure 2.

The energy involved in a phase change depends on two major factors: the number and strength of bonds or force pairs. The number of bonds is proportional to the number of molecules and thus to the mass of the sample. The strength of forces depends on the type of molecules. The heat Q required to change the phase of a sample of mass m is given by

Q = mLf (melting/freezing,

Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation),

where the latent heat of fusion, Lf, and latent heat of vaporization, Lv, are material constants that are determined experimentally.

What resistance must be connected in parallel with a 633-Ω resistor to produce an equivalent resistance of 205 Ω?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

303 Ω

Explanation:

Given

Represent the resistors with R1, R2 and RT

R1 = 633

RT = 205

Required

Determine R2

Since it's a parallel connection, it can be solved using.

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2

Substitute values for R1 and RT

1/205 = 1/633 + 1/R2

Collect Like Terms

1/R2 = 1/205 - 1/633

Take LCM

1/R2 = (633 - 205)/(205 * 633)

1/R2 = 428/129765

Take reciprocal of both sides

R2 = 129765/428

R2 = 303 --- approximated

You are holding one end of an elastic cord that is fastened to a wall 3.0 m away. You begin shaking the end of the cord at 2.3 H
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Time take to fill the standing wave to the entire length of the string is 1.3 sec.

Explanation:

Given :

The length of the one end x= 3m, frequency of the wave f = 2.3 Hz, wavelength of the wave λ = 1 m.

Standing wave is the example of the transverse wave, standing wave doesn't transfer energy in a medium.

We know,

∴ v = fλ

Where v = speed of the standing wave.

also, ∴ v=\frac{x}{t}

where t = time take to fill entire length of the string.

Compare above both equation,

⇒   t = \frac{3}{2.3} sec

     t = 1.3sec

Therefore, the time taken to fill entire length 0f the string is 1.3 sec.

Rank in order, from smallest to largest, the six torques (torque 1 to torque 2) about the hinge.?
anzhelika [568]
The solution for this problem is:torque1 = torque2 = FL / 2 
Torque 3 = Torque 4 = FL / 2 * sin (theta) 
Torque 5 = 2 FL 
Torque 6 = 0 

So the order of the torques from smallest to largest is torque 6, (torque 3 and 4), (torque 1 and 2), torque 5.


Remember or just take note that sin (theta) < 1 is why 3 and 4 are less than 1 and 2.
