A wheelbarrow is experiencing two forces. One is pushing 5 N to the east and the other 5 N in the exact opposite direction. What

Answer:

its acceleration must be 0.

Explanation:

According the second Newton's law, the net force applied in a object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration:

F_{net} =m.a

In this case, the net force is

F_{net}=5N-5N=0

What makes sense since both forces have the same value and opposite directions.

Since the mass of the object can't be zero, the acceleration is the one that must be 0 in order fulfill the equation of the second newton's law.

Another option is that, since both forces are opposite, the wheelbarrow could be at rest. Though this is correct, this is not always true.

In conclusion, the only  statement that always is true about the wheelbarrow's motion is that its acceleration must be 0.

Assuming no other forces are acting on the wheelbarrow, it must be stationary.

Vector ????⃗ has a magnitude of 16.6 and is at an angle of 50.5∘ counterclockwise from the +x‑axis. Vector ????⃗ has a magnitude
natka813 [3]

Answer:

For vector u, x component = 10.558 and  y component =12.808

unit vector = 0.636 i+ 0.7716 j

For vector v, x component = 23.6316 and y component = -6.464

unit vector = 0.9645 i-0.2638 j

Explanation:

Let the vector u has magnitude 16.6

u makes an angle of 50.5° from x axis

So u_x=ucos\Theta =16.6\times cos50.5=10.558

Vertical component u_y=usin\Theta =16.6\times sin50.5=12.808

So vector u will be u = 10.558 i+12.808 j

Unit vector u=\frac{10.558i+12.808j}{\sqrt{10.558^2+12.808^2}}=0.636i+0.7716j

Now in second case let vector v has a magnitude of 24.5

Making an angle with -15.3° from x axis

So horizontal component v_x=vcos\Theta =24.5\times cos(-15.3)=23.6316

Vertical component v_y=vsin\Theta =24.5\times sin(-15.3)=-6.464

So vector v will be 23.6316 i - 6.464 j

Unit vector of v =\frac{23.6316i-6.464}{\sqrt{23.6316^2+6.464^2}}=0.9645i-0.2638j

A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oF. The air undergoes a process to a state where the
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The work and heat transfer for this process is = 270.588 kJ

Explanation:

Take properties of air from an ideal gas table.  R = 0.287 kJ/kg-k

The Pressure-Volume relation is <em>PV</em> = <em>C</em>

<em>T = C </em> for isothermal process

Calculating for the work done in isothermal process

<em>W</em> = <em>P</em>₁<em>V</em>₁ ln[\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }]

   = <em>mRT</em>₁ln[\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} }]      [∵<em>pV</em> = <em>mRT</em>]

   = (5) (0.287) (272.039) ln[\frac{2.0}{1.0}]

   = 270.588 kJ

Since the process is isothermal, Internal energy change is zero

Δ<em>U</em> = mc_{v}(T_{2}  - T_{1} ) = 0

From 1st law of thermodynamics

Q = Δ<em>U  </em>+ <em>W</em>

   = 0 + 270.588

   = 270.588 kJ

Compare and contrast the life cycle of a low mass star and a high mass star
True [87]
Low mass: Live for billions (trillions?) of years. The first low mass red dwarfs in this universe still haven't died off yet, so we aren't completely sure what happens when they "die." 

<span>Very High Mass: Run through their fuel exceedingly fast. *Die* relatively quickly (in the range of tens to hundreds of millions of years instead of billions and beyond) and go out with style, Supernova that will leave behind a neutron star (the *kind of very high mass stars" end this way) or a black hole (the *very very high mass stars* end this way.)</span>

A thin stream of water flows smoothly from a faucet and falls straight down. at one point the water is flowing at a speed of v1
kati45 [8]
<span>The formulas are, v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1) h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2) Given that, v1 = 1.71 m/s we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor d2 =0.805d1 then, v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)² cancelled both side d1² then we get, v1 = v2 (0.805)² v1 = v2 (0.648025) Sub v1 = 1.71, 1.71 = v2 (0.648025) v2 = 1.71/0.648025 v2 = 2.638787083831642 v2 = 2.64 m/s The vertical distance formula, h = (v2²-v1²)/2g We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s² h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8) h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6 h = (4.0455)/19.6 h = 0.2064030612244898 h = 0.21 cm Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>

It takes a truck 3.56 seconds to slow down from 112 km/h to 87.4 km/h. What is its average acceleration?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

option B

−1.92 m/s2

Explanation:

Given in the question,

time took by truck to slow down = 3.56 sec

initial speed of truck = 112 km/h

final speed of truck = 87.4 km/h

1 km/h = 0.277778 m/s

112 = 31.1 m/s

87.4 = 24.28 m/s

Formula use to calculate the acceleration

v - u = at

where v is final speed

           u is initial speed

           a is acceleration

           t is time

plug values in the equation

24.28 - 31.1 = a(3.56)

-6.8 = a(3.56)

a = -6.8 / 3.56

a = -1.9 m/s²
