Two forces P and Q act on an object of mass 7.00 kg with Q being the larger of the two forces. When both forces are directed to

the left, the magnitude of the acceleration of the object is 1.30 m/s2. However, when the force P is directed to the left and the force Q is directed to the right, the object has an acceleration of 0.600 m/s2 to the right. Find the magnitudes of the two forces P and Q in newtons.

Answer:

P = 2.45 N

Q = 6.65 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd Law:

Unbalanced Force = ma

where,

m = mass = 7 kg

a = acceleration

In the first case when both forces P and Q act on left side:

Unbalanced Force = P + Q

a = 1.3 m/s²

Therefore,

P + Q = (7 kg)(1.3 m/s²)

P + Q = 9.1 N   ------------------------- equation 1

Now, in second case when both forces have different directions:

Unbalanced Force = Greater Force - Smaller Force

Unbalanced Force = Q - P

a = 0.6 m/s²

Therefore,

Q - P = (7 kg)(0.6 m/s²)

Q - P = 4.2 N   ------------------- equation 2

Adding equation 1 and equation 2, we get:

(Q + P) + (Q - P) = 9.1 N + 4.2 N

2 Q = 13.3 N

<u>Q = 6.65 N</u>

Using this value in equation 2, we get:

6.65 N - P = 4.2 N

<u>P = 2.45 N</u>

The time between a lightning flash and the following thunderclap may be used to estimate, in kilometers, how far away a storm is
Kruka [31]

Given Information:  

Elapsed time = t = 6 seconds

Required Information:

Distance = d = ?

Answer:

Distance = d = 2.058 km

Explanation:

We know that the speed of sound in the air is given by

v = 343 m/s

The relation between distance, speed and time is given by

distance = speed*time

substituting the given values yields,

distance = 343*6

distance = 2058 m

There are 1000 meters in 1 km so

d = 2058/1000

d = 2.058 km

Therefore, the storm is about 2.058 km away when elapse time between the lightning and the thunderclap is 6 seconds.

Describe a real-world example of the law of conservation of momentum.
mario62 [17]
Imagine a car crash. A car coming at a high speed has a head on collision with a car at rest. When the car makes impact, it will move the other car with it at a slower speed then it was travelling at. In this case, the velocity decreased since the car slowed down, but the mass increased since there are now two cars moving. Momentum was conserved because the change in mass accounts for the loss of velocity.

Your washer has power of 450 watts, and your dryer has a power of 3000
qaws [65]

Answer:

See explanations below

Explanation:

Power = Workdone/Time

Power of washer = 450watts

Time used to clean the clothes = 1hour = 3600secs

Energy used to clean a load of clothes in 1 hour of

washing = 450/3600

Energy used to clean a load of clothes in 1 hour of

washing = 0.125Joules

For drying;

Energy = 3000/1.5*3600

Energy = 3000/5400

Energy = 0.556Joules

Hence the energy in washing id 0.556Joules

How are ice liquid water and water vapor different from each other?
olga_2 [115]
The molecules of ice stick together in the process of cohesion. They are tightly packed so there isn't much room to move. Liquid water is a looser hold. The molecules can go past one another, and they will take the shape of whatever container they occupy. Water vapor is loosely contained, and it will will fill whatever container it is kept in, and it will take its shape, too.
