Answer:

-6.3 N

Explanation:

The equation we need to use is:

$F \Delta t = \Delta (mv)$

where

F is the force of friction, that slows down the bag

$\Delta t$ is the time of the motion

m is the mass of the bag

v is the speed of the bag

Since the mass of the bag does not change, we can rewrite the equation as

$F \Delta t= m \Delta v$

where we have:

$\Delta t=1.6 s\\m=5.0 kg\\\Delta v=-2.0 m/s$

Substituting and re-arranging the equation, we can find the force of friction:

$F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}=\frac{(5.0 kg)(-2.0 m/s)}{1.6 s}=-6.3 N$

where the negative sign means that the force is in the opposite direction to the motion of the bag.

If the mass of a material is 47 grams and the volume of the material is 15 cm^3, what would the density of the material be?

uranmaximum [27]

Density is calculated as mass per unit volume. In this case, since the material has a mass of 47 grams and we have the volume of 15 cm^3, we can simply divide the values:
Density = 47 grams / 15 cm^3 = 3.1 g/cm^3
Therefore, the material has a density of 3.1 g/cm^3

The famous black planet, haunch, has a radius of 106 m, a gravitational acceleration at the surface of 4 m/s2 , and the tangenti

statuscvo [17]

Gravity on the surface = 4 m/s^2
Now, the acceleration due to centripetal motion, a = v^2/R

Where,
v= 10^3 m/s, R = 10^6 m
Then,
a = (10^3)^2/(10^6) = 1 m^2/s

The net gravitational acceleration = 4-1 = 3 m/s^2

The reading on the spring scale = ma = 40*3 = 120 N

An 8.75 kg point mass and a 14.0 kg point mass are held in place 50.0 cm apart. A particle of mass m is released from a point be

marysya [2.9K]

Answer

given,

mass of the = m₁ = 8.75 Kg

another mass of the object = m₂ = 14 Kg

distance between them = 50 cm

R₁ = 17 cm

R₂ = 50 -17 = 33 cm

a) Force applied due to the Mass 8.75 in +ve x- direction

$F_1 = \dfrac{GM_1 m}{R_1^2}$

$F_1 = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times 8.75\ m}{0.17^2}$

$F_1 = 2.019\times 10^{8}\ m$

Force applied due to mass 14 Kg in -ve x-direction

$F_2 = \dfrac{GM_2 m}{R_2^2}$

$F_2 = \dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times 14\ m}{0.33^2}$

$F_2 = 0.857\times 10^{8}\ m$

net force

F = F₁ + F₂

$F = 2.019\times 10^{8}\ m - 0.857\times 10^{8}\ m$

$F = 1.162\times 10^{8}\ m$

Using newton second law

$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$

$a = \dfrac{ 1.162\times 10^{8}\ m}{m}$

$a =1.162\times 10^{8} \ m/s^2$

b) As the acceleration of mass comes out to be +ve hence, the direction will be toward the mass of 8.75 Kg

if only conductive heat loss was significant for a house then by what percentage would you lower the heat loss fi the temp was r

Maslowich

I think the conductive heat loss is proportional to the DIFFERENCE
between the inside and outside temperatures. In other words, if it's the
same temperature inside and outside, then no matter what that temperature
is, no heat flows through the walls of the house in either direction.

You said it's 20° outside, and you turn the thermostat down from 70° to 60°.
So you'd be reducing the DIFFERENCE between the inside and outside
temperatures from 50° to 40°.

From 50 to 40 is a decrease of (10/50) = 20%. So your heat loss ... and
the amount that gets added to your heating bill ... becomes 20% less for
each hour that the inside and outside temperatures stay like this.

Astronomers have found that the level of the Sun's activity varies over the centuries. How did they come to realize that this is

goldfiish [28.3K]

They realized this as result of the number of sunspots getting larger and smaller over the course of the years .

<h3>What is Sunspot?</h3>

This is defined as a temporary phenomena on the Sun's photosphere that appear as spots darker than the surrounding areas.

The presence of these sunspots is what gave Astronomers the idea of the Sun having varying levels of activities over the years.
