A constant force is exerted for a short time interval on a cart that is initially at rest on an air track. This force gives the

cart a certain final speed. Suppose we repeat the experiment but, instead of starting from rest, the cart is already moving with constant speed in the direction of the force at the moment we begin to apply the force.
After we exert the same constant force for the same short time interval, the increase in the cart's speed:

A. is equal to two times its initial speed.
B. is equal to the square of its initial speed.
C. is equal to four times its initial speed.
D. is the same as when it started from rest.
E. cannot be determined from the information provided.

Answer:

d) is the same as when it started from rest

Explanation:

using equation of motion

v = u + at

second law of momentum defines

F = ma

a = F /m

the equation becomes

v = u + (F/m)t

from hear

since v is directly proportional to the force and the force remain the same, the increase in the cart speed will also remain the same.

Arada [10]
Yes. take a bow for instance. while pulling back the string you have potential energy. when you let the string go and the arrow flies towards your target the string is filled with kinetic energy.

Which explanation describes the forces involved for a person to walk down the sidewalk?
Svet_ta [14]

The person walking down the sidewalk follows the newton's third law of motion.

Explanation:

  • A person is able to walk down the sidewalk by using the reaction forces from the ground.
  • In simple term, feet pushes the ground and the reaction forces makes the feet able to walk.
  • Another important force included in the walking mechanism is friction. With out friction one cannot walk down the sidewalks.
  • Hence the forces involved in the walking of a person down the sidewalk are:
  1. Friction force
  2. Action and reaction force between ground and person's feet.

A geothermal plant uses geothermal water (yes a liquid) extracted from beneath the Earth using drilling apparatus. The geotherma
leva [86]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of heat change and thermal efficiency.

The heat rate can be expressed under the function

Q = \dot{m} (h_1-h_2)

Where,

m = Mass

h_i = Enthalpy at each state

Our values are given as,

\dot{m} = 200kg/s

T_H = 200\°C

W = 6000kW

T_{H,2} = 90\°C

T_L = 25\°C

From the tables of Enthalpy of Water at 200°C (Saturated liquid state)

h_1 = 852.4kJ/Kg

At the same time for 80°C

h_2 = 334.9kJ/Kg

Applying the equation of Heat,

Q = \dot{m}(h_1-h_2)

Replacing,

Q = 200*(852.4-334.9)

Q = 103500kW

Therefore the efficiency would be

\eta = \frac{Q_L}{Q_H}

\eta = \frac{6000}{103500}

\eta = 0.0579

Therefore the actual thermal efficiency of the turbine in percent is 0.0579.

Do you think it would take more force to transport five blocks in the sled or in the wagon?
enot [183]
It will depend on the frictional force involved in the two. I think it will take more force in sled.
