Answer:
Resultant horizontal force = 143 N
Explanation:
Since the a gle is 30° northwest, then it means the resultant force will be horizontal and as such;
Resultant horizontal force = 165 * cos 30
Resultant horizontal force = 142.89
Approximating to a whole number gives;
Resultant horizontal force = 143 N
Answer:
Explanation:
The period of a physical pendulum is:
The length of the leg is approximately the height of the person:
The period is:
Answer:
40479.6 J
Explanation:
Applying,
q = cm(t₂-t₁).................... Equation 1
Where q = change in heat content of the system, c = specific heat capacity of the system, m = mass of the system, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = final temperature.
From the question,
Given: m = 79 g = 0.079 kg, t₁ = 21°C, t₂ = 143°C
Constant: c = 4200 J/kg.°C
Substitute these values into equation 1
q = 4200(0.079)(143-21)
q = 331.8(122)
q = 40479.6 J
Answer:
It has been converted into thermal energy due to friction
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only transformed from one form into another.
Applied to this problem, it means that the total initial energy of the spring-toy system must be conserved.
Therefore:
- At the beginning, the total energy stored in the spring is 10 J
- After the toy is released, the total energy must still be 10 J.
In reality, we are told that the kinetic energy of the car is only 8 J. The other 2 J have not been destroyed, but they have been converted into thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces that act against the motion of the toy car.
