A sled is accelerating at 2 m/s2 because it is being pushed on ice by Jenny. Tommy then jumps on the sled (he has the same mass

as the sled). What has happened to the total mass Jenny is pushing, compared to before?

Answer:

The acceleration of the total mass decreases by half (1/2)

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of sled = 2 m/s²

From Newton's second law of motion, F = ma

⇒m = F/a

F is the force applied by Jenny

This force applied by Jenny should be the same, after Tommy jumps on the sled, but the acceleration will change.

F = m₁a₁ = m₂a₂

Since m₂ = 2m₁, then we calculate a₂

m₁a₁ = 2m₁a₂

a₂ = a₁/2

Therefore,The acceleration of the total mass decreases by half.

How much energy must a refrigerator absorb from 225 g of water so that the temperature of the water will drop from 35°c to 5°c
patriot [66]

Heat energy required to change the temperature is given by

Q = ms\Delta T

here we know that

m = 225 g = 0.225 kg

s = 4186 J/kg C

T_i = 5 ^0C

T_f = 35 ^0C

now from above formula we will have

Q = (0.225 kg)(4186 J/kg C) (35 - 5)

Q = 28255.5 J

So it will remove 28255.5 J heat from the water

Does riding a bike up a hill in higher gear burn more calories than a lower gear
Rasek [7]
Yes. If you are riding a bike up a hill in fifth gear, you will burn considerably more calories than if you were to bike up that hill in first gear. The lower the gear, the easier the pedaling, and therefore fewer calories are burned.

A wave traveling in a string has a wavelength of 35 cm, an amplitude of 8. 4 cm, and a period of 1. 2 s. What is the speed of th
Drupady [299]

0.29 m/s is the speed of this wave.

How can we determine a wave's speed?

Given: The wave's traveling wavelength is () = 35 cm

The wave's period (t) is 1.2 seconds.

The wave's frequency is 0.833 Hz.

We must ascertain a wave's wave speed.

Formula for wave speed is 35 x 0.833 (wavelength x frequency).

= 29.167 cm/sec

= 0.29 m/sec

As a result, the wave's speed is 0.29 m/s.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

1/4 of the original

Explanation:

That would be TWO half lives:

1/2  * 1/2   = 1/4   <======= 1/4 would be left

Two very small spheres are initially neutral and separated by a distance of 0.30 m. Suppose that 2.50 1013 electrons are removed
quester [9]

Answer:

F = - 1,598 10⁻³ N

Explanation:

Electic strength is given by Coulomb's law

          F = k q₁ q₂  / r²

Where k is the Coulomb constant that is worth 8.99 10⁸ N m²/C², q₁ and q₂ are the charges and r is the distance that separates the electric charges

In this case the charge of the two spheres is the same and of a different sign since when you remove the charge of a sphere that was initially neutral, it is left with that charge removed but of the opposite sign

       q₁ = q₂ = 2.50 10¹³ electrons = 2.50 10¹³ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

       q₀ = 4.0 10⁻⁶ C

Let's calculate

       F = - 8.99 10⁸ (4.0 10⁻⁶)² / 0.30²

       F = - 1,598 10⁻³ N
