An overnight rainstorm has caused a major roadblock. Three massive rocks of mass m1=584 kg, m2=838 kg, and m3=322 kg have blocke

d a busy road. The rocks are lined up from left to right in the order m1, m2, and m3. The city calls a local contractor to use a bulldozer to clear the road. The bulldozer applies a constant force to m1 in order to slide the rocks off the road. Assuming the road is a flat, frictionless surface and the rocks are all in contact, what force, ????A, must be applied to m1 to slowly accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s2?

Answer:

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Explanation:

Total force required = Mass x Acceleration,

F = ma

Here we need to consider the system as combine, total mass need to be considered.

Total mass, a = m₁+m₂+m₃ = 584 + 838 + 322 = 1744 kg

We need to accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s²

That is acceleration, a = 0.250 m/s²

Force required, F = ma = 1744 x 0.25 = 436 N

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Why are metals good conductors of both heat and electricity?
serious [3.7K]
They are both good conductors if both heat and electricity due to the sea of delocalized electrons that is floating around without getting bonded to an atom.

Such electrons can flow around freely to conduct heat and electricity.

the average time required for radioactive elements, whereby they decay to half their original mass is called the "average life"
VikaD [51]
I'm not sure what your question is. But, the half life is the amount of time required for half the material to decay. For U238 this is 4.5 billion years, whilst for Fr-223 (Francium) its about 22 minutes. To calculate the time for something to decay you need to use the equation:
Mass (after time t) = Mass (initial) * (0.5)^(time/half life)
Hope this helps

Assume that Parker Company will receive SF200,000 in 360 days. Assume the following interest rates:
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

b.  $96,914

Explanation:

360-day borrowing rate = 5%

spot rate = 0.48

360-day deposit rate  = 6%

Borrow at the rate of 5% to get

SF200,000/1.05 = $190,476.19

Convert at the spot rate of $0.48 to get

190,476.19*0.48 = $91,428.57

Invest at the interest rate of 6% to get

91,428.57/1.06 = 96,914.28

Therefore, Parker Company will receive $96,914 in 360 days.

A quick USB charger claims its output current is 1.97Amp. We know that the standard USB output voltage is 5V. What is the output
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Output power of the charger is 9.85 watts.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Output current of the USB charger, I = 1.97 A

The standard USB output voltage, V = 5 V

We need to find the output power of the charger. It can be determined using the following formula as :

P = V × I

P=5\ V\times 1.97\ A

P = 9.85 watts

The output power of the charger is 9.85 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.
