Suppose you are on an airplane moving at high speed. If you flip a coin straight up it will land in your lap rather than a great

distance behind you. Explain why this is true and include any laws that help prove your point.

It will land in your lap because there's different frames of motion relative to yourself. For example, if you're running at a speed of 6 mph, it doesn't mean you'll run as fast as the Earth spins. Also, since you're on the interior of the plane, any kind of wind or weather on the outside will not affect the coin. A law to back up this claim is Einsteins Special Law of Relativity.

You don't need relativity to explain this. Only good old Newtonian mechanics. You are moving horizontally at high speed. You're holding the coin in your hand so the coin is also moving horizontally at high speed. If you toss it up temporarily it continues moving horizontally just like your lap.

How much heat has to be added to 508 g of copper at 22.3°C to raise the temperature of the copper to 49.8°C? (The specific heat
viva [34]

Answer:

Q = 5267J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of copper (S) = 0.377 J/g·°C.

Q = MSΔT

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT=49.8 - 22.3 = 27.5C

Q = change in energy = ?

M = mass of substance =508g

Q = (508g) * (0.377 J/g·°C) * (27.5C)

Q= 5266.69J

Approximately, Q = 5267J

Why do the magnetic forces acting on the coil change as the current running through the coil changes?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: The changing magnetic field caused by the material's motion induces a current in the coil of wire proportional to the change in field. If a 0 is represented, the magnetic field does not change between the two domains of a bit, so no current is induced as the magnetic material passes the coil.

An object of mass m = 4.0 kg, starting from rest, slides down an inclined plane of length l = 3.0 m. The plane is inclined by an
kirill [66]

Answer:

(a-1) d₂=4.89 m: The object slides 4.89 m along the rough surface

(a-2) Work (Wf) done by the friction force while the mass is sliding down the in- clined plane:

Wf=  -20.4 J    is negative

(b) Work (Wg) done by the gravitational force while the mass is sliding down the inclined plane:

Wg= 58.8 J is positive

Explanation:

Nomenclature

vf: final velocity

v₀ :initial velocity

a: acceleleration

d: distance

Ff: Friction force

W: weight

m:mass

g: acceleration due to gravity

Graphic attached

The attached graph describes the variables related to the kinetics of the object (forces and accelerations)

Calculation de of the components of W in the inclined plane

W=m*g

Wx₁ = m*g*sin30°

Wy₁=  m*g*cos30°

Object kinematics on the inclined plane

vf₁²=v₀₁²+2*a₁*d₁

v₀₁=0

vf₁²=2*a₁*d₁

v_{f1} = \sqrt{2*a_{1}*d_{1}  }  Equation (1)

Object kinetics on the inclined plane (μ= 0.2)

∑Fx₁=ma₁  :Newton's second law

-Ff₁+Wx₁ = ma₁   , Ff₁=μN₁

-μ₁N₁+Wx₁ = ma₁      Equation (2)

∑Fy₁=0   : Newton's first law

N₁-Wy₁= 0

N₁- m*g*cos30°=0

N₁  =  m*g*cos30°

We replace   N₁  =  m*g*cos30 and  Wx₁ = m*g*sin30° in the equation (2)

-μ₁m*g*cos30₁+m*g*sin30° = ma₁   :  We divide by m

-μ₁*g*cos30°+g*sin30° = a₁  

g*(-μ₁*cos30°+sin30°) = a₁  

a₁ =9.8(-0.2*cos30°+sin30°)=3.2 m/s²

We replace a₁ =3.2 m/s² and d₁= 3m in the equation (1)

v_{f1} = \sqrt{2*3.2*3}  }

v_{f1} =\sqrt{2*3.2*3}

v_{f1} = 4.38 m/s

Rough surface  kinematics

vf₂²=v₀₂²+2*a₂*d₂   v₀₂=vf₁=4.38 m/s

0   =4.38²+2*a₂*d₂  Equation (3)

Rough surface  kinetics (μ= 0.3)

∑Fx₂=ma₂  :Newton's second law

-Ff₂=ma₂

--μ₂*N₂ = ma₂   Equation (4)

∑Fy₂= 0  :Newton's first law

N₂-W=0

N₂=W=m*g

We replace N₂=m*g inthe equation (4)

--μ₂*m*g = ma₂   We divide by m

--μ₂*g = a₂

a₂ =-0.2*9.8= -1.96m/s²

We replace a₂ = -1.96m/s² in the equation (3)

0   =4.38²+2*-1.96*d₂

3.92*d₂ = 4.38²

d₂=4.38²/3.92

d₂=4.38²/3.92

(a-1) d₂=4.89 m: The object slides 4.89 m along the rough surface

(a-2) Work (Wf) done by the friction force while the mass is sliding down the in- clined plane:

Wf = - Ff₁*d₁

Ff₁= μ₁N₁= μ₁*m*g*cos30°= -0.2*4*9.8*cos30° = 6,79 N

Wf= -  6.79*3 = 20.4 N*m

Wf=  -20.4 J    is negative

(b) Work (Wg) done by the gravitational force while the mass is sliding down the inclined plane

Wg=W₁x*d= m*g*sin30*3=4*9.8*0.5*3= 58.8 N*m

Wg= 58.8 J is positive

A 10 kg brick and a 1 kg book are dropped in a vacuum. The force of gravity on the 10 kg brick is what?
Nadya [2.5K]
<span>10 times as much. Since F=m*a, and a is constant, the only thing that affects force is the mass.

In response to the below answer, the acceleration due to gravity does not change. The force due to gravity definitely DOES change depending on the mass of the object. Since the force is what the problem asks for, the answer is 10</span>
