Answer:

2677.3 N

Explanation:

v₀ = initial speed of the hand = 4.75 m/s

v  = final speed of the hand = 0 m/s

m = Total mass of hand and forearm = 1.55 kg

t = time interval for hand to come to rest = 2.75 ms = 0.00275 s

F = Force applied on the leg

Using Impulse-change in momentum equation

F t = m (v - v₀)

F (0.00275) = (1.55) (0 - 4.75)

F = - 2677.3 N

magnitude of force = 2677.3 N

The specific heat of substance A is greater than that of substance B. Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equa
Sonja [21]

Answer:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

Explanation:

For this case we know the following info:

c_{pA} > c_{pB}

Where c means specific heat for the substance A and B.

We also know that the initial temperatures for both sustances are equal:

T_{iA}= T_{iB}

We assume that we don't have melting or vaporization in the 2 substances. So we just have presence of sensible heat given by this formula:

Q = m c_p \Delta T

And for this case we know that Both A and B are at the same initial temperature when equal amounts of energy are added to them, so then we have this:

Q_A = Q_B

And if we replace the formula for sensible heat we got:

m_A c_{pA} \Delta T_A = m_B c_{pB} \Delta T_B

And if we replace for the change of the temperature we got:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T_{iA}) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T_{iB})

And since T_{iA}= T_{iB}= T we have this:

m_A c_{pA} (T_{fA} -T) = m_B c_{pB} (T_{fB}- T)

For this case, if we try to find the final temperature of A and B, we see that we will obtain an expression in terms of specific heats and masses, from the information given we know the relationship between specific heats, but we don't know the relationship that exists among the masses, then the best option for this case is:

d) More information is needed

(The relation between the masses is not given)

A museum curator moves artifacts into place on various different display surfaces. If the curator moves a 145 kg aluminum sculpt
NikAS [45]
We are given the mass of an <span>aluminum sculpture which is 145 kg and a horizontal force equal to 668 Newtons. The coefficient of friction can be determined by dividing the horizontal force by the weight of the object. In this case, 668 N / 145 * 9.8 equal to coeff of friction of 0.47</span>

When Mendeleev organized elements in his periodic table in order of increasing mass, similar elements with similar properties we
Temka [501]
Similar elements with similar properties were in the same groups and periods for instance lithium(Li) and sodium(Na) are alkaline metals and so belong to the same group (that is group 1).Also Hydrogen(H) and Helium(He) both have only one shell or energy level and so belong to the same period.

The magnitude of the charge of the electron is:
brilliants [131]

Answer:

a. Exactly the same as the magnitude of the charge of the proton.

Explanation:

The elementary charge (e) is the smallest electric charge that can exist in the universe. Any positive or negative electric charge can be expressed as a multiple of the elementary charge, since is the electric charge carried by a single proton or, equivalently, the magnitude of the electric charge carried by a single electron (-1e).
