Answer:

4.36 seconds

Explanation:

According to the question;

Force is 550 N
Mass of the car is 1200 kg
Velocity of the car is 2.0 m/s

We are needed to find the time the car must the tow track pull the car.

From Newton's second law of motion;
Impulsive force, F = Mv÷t , where m is the mass, v is the velocity and t is the time.

Rearranging the formula;

t = mv ÷ F

Thus;

Time = (1200 kg × 2.0 m/s²) ÷ 550 N

= 4.36 seconds

Thus, the time needed to pull the car is 4.36 seconds

11 e) Can a conductor be given limitless charge? Obtain the equivalent resistance of several resistors if (a) they are in series

horsena [70]

Answer:

(e) no

(a) Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b) 1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''

Explanation:

11 e)

Practically it is not possible to give limitless charge to a conductor. It depends to the number of valence electrons.

(a) When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in series combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I.

According to Ohm's law

Voltage across R', V' = I R'

Voltage across R'', V'' = I R''

Voltage across R''', V''' = I R'''

So, let the equivalent resistance is Rs.

I Rs = I R' + I R'' + I R'''

Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b)

When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in parallel combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I', I''. I'''.

Current in R', I' = V/R'

Current in R'', I'' = V/R''

Current in R''', I''' = V/R'''

The equivalent resistance is Rp.

V/Rp = V/R' + V/ R'' + V/R'''

1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''

Much of the energy of falling water in a waterfall is converted into heat. If all the mechanical energy is converted into heat t

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Explanation:

potential energy of water is converted into heat energy

P E = mgh = m x 9.8 x 111

= 1087.8 m .

Let rise in temperature θ

m x s x θ = heat absorbed

m x s x θ = 1087.8 m

m x 4182 x θ = 1087.8 m

θ = 0.26 degree celsius .

A 2.45-kg frictionless block is attached to an ideal spring with force constant 355 N/m. Initially the spring is neither stretch

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A. A = 0.913 m

B. amax = 132.24m/s^2

C. Fmax = 324.01N

Explanation:

When the block is moving at the equilibrium point , its velocity is maximum.

A. To find the amplitude of the motion you use the following formula for the maximum velocity:

$v_{max}=A\omega$ (1)

vmax = maximum velocity = 11.0 m/s

A: amplitude of the motion = ?

w: angular frequency = ?

Then, you have to calculate the angular frequency of the motion, by using the following formula:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ (2)

k: spring constant = 355 N/m

m: mass of the object = 2.54 kg

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{355N/m}{2.45kg}}=12.03\frac{rad}{s}$

Next, you solve the equation (1) for A and replace the values of vmax and w:

$A=\frac{v}{\omega}=\frac{11.0m/s}{12.03rad/s}=0.913m$

The amplitude of the motion is 0.913m

B. The maximum acceleration of the block is given by:

$a_{max}=A\omega^2 = (0.913m)(12.03rad/s)^2=132.24\frac{m}{s^2}$

The maximum acceleration is 132.24 m/s^2

C. The maximum force is calculated by using the second Newton law and the maximum acceleration:

$F_{max}=ma_{max}=(2.45kg)(132.24m/s^2)=324.01N$

It is also possible to calculate the maximum force by using:

Fmax = k*A = (355N/m)(0.913m) = 324.01N

The maximum force exertedbu the spring on the object is 324.01 N
