Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a sled. The first child exerts a

force of 79 N, the second a force of 92 N, kinetic friction is 5.5 N, and the mass of the third child plus sled is 24 kg.
1. Using a coordinate system where the second child is pushing in the positive direction, calculate the acceleration in m/s2.
2. What is the system of interest if the accelaration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated?
3. Draw a free body diagram including all bodies acting on the system
4. What would be the acceleration if friction were 150 N?

Answer:

Please, read the anser below

Explanation:

1. In order to calculate the acceleration of the children you use the Newton second law for the summation of the implied forces:

F_2-F_1-F_f=Ma          (1)

Where is has been used that the motion is in the direction of the applied force by the second child

F2: force of the second child = 92N

F1: force of the first child = 79N

Ff: friction force = 5.5N

M: mass of the third child = 24kg

a: acceleration of the third child = ?

You solve the equation (1) for a, and you replace the values of the other parameters:

a=\frac{F_2-F_1.F_f}{M}=\frac{96N-79N-5.5N}{24kg}=0.48\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration is 0.48m/s^2

2. The system of interest is the same as before, the acceleration calculated is about the motion of the third child.

3. An image with the diagram forces is attached below.

4. If the friction would be 150N, the acceleration would be zero, because the friction force is higher than the higher force between children, which is 92N.

Then, the acceleration is zero

A person wants to determine the spring constant of an exercise stretch cord. He pulls the cord with a force probe that exerts a
Burka [1]

Answer:

350 N/m

Explanation:

If we are assuming the stretch does not exceed the elastic range of the material, then by Hooke's law the spring constant of the cord is simply the ratio between the force 70N acting on the cord to stretch 20cm or 0.2m

k = 70 / 0.2 = 350 N/m

The spring constant is 350 N/m

Steam at 100°C is condensed into a 38.0 g aluminum calorimeter cup containing 280 g of water at 25.0°C. Determine the amount of
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

7.2g

Explanation:

From the expression of latent heat of steam, we have

Heat supplied by steam = Heat gain water + Heat gain by calorimeter

mathematically,

m_{s}c_{w} \alpha _{w} + m_{s}l=m_{w}c_{w} \alpha _{w} +m_{c}c_{c} \alpha c_{c}

L=specific latent heat of water(steam)=2268J/g

c_{w}=specific heat capacity=4.2J/gK

c_{c}=specific heat capacity of calorimeter =0.9J/gk

m_{w}=280g

m_{c}=38g

α=change in temperature

\alpha _{c}=(40-25)=15

\alpha _{w}=(40-25)=15

\alpha _{s}=(100-40)=60

Note: the temperature of the calorimeter is the temperature of it content.

From the equation, we can make m_{s} the subject of formula

m_{s}=\frac{m_{w}c_{w} \alpha +m_{c}c_{c}\alpha}{c_{w}\alpha +l}

Hence

m_{s}=\frac{(280*4.2*15) +(38*0.9*15)}{(4.2*60) +2268} \\m_{s}=\frac{18153}{2520}\\ m_{s}=7.2g

Hence the amount of steam needed is 7.2g
