A sportscar has a mass of 1500 kg and accelerates at 5 meters per second squared. What is the magnitude of the force acting on t

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

7500 Newtons

Explanation:

Mass of the sportscar= 1500 kg

Acceleration of the sportscar= 5m/s^2

Hence, let the Force acting on it be F

$We\ know\ that,\\Force=Mass*Acceleration\\F=ma\\\\Here,\\F=1500*5\\=7500 kg m/s^2\ or\ 7500\ Newtons$

When a 10 V battery is connected to a resistor, 5 A of current flows through the resistor. What is the resistor's value?

SashulF [63]

Given data

*The value of battery voltage is V = 10 V

*The current flows through the resistor is I = 5 A

The formula for the resistor is given by the Ohm's law as

$R=\frac{V}{I}$

Substitute the values in the above expression as

$\begin{gathered} R=\frac{10}{5} \\ =2\text{ ohm} \end{gathered}$

During an experiment of momentum, trolley, X, of mass (2.34 ± 0.01) kg is moving away from another trolley, Y, of mass (2.561 ±

Alla [95]

Answer:

P = 1 (14,045 ± 0.03 ) k gm/s

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked about the uncertainty of the momentum of the two carriages

Δ (Pₓ / Py) =?

Let's start by finding the momentum of each vehicle

car X

Pₓ = m vₓ

Pₓ = 2.34 2.5

Pₓ = 5.85 kg m

car Y

Py = 2,561 3.2

Py = 8,195 kgm

How do we calculate the absolute uncertainty at the two moments?

ΔPₓ = m Δv + v Δm

ΔPₓ = 2.34 0.01 + 2.561 0.01

ΔPₓ = 0.05 kg m

Δ $P_{y}$ = m Δv + v Δm

ΔP_{y} = 2,561 0.01+ 3.2 0.001

ΔP_{y} = 0.03 kg m

now we have the uncertainty of each moment

P = Pₓ / $P_{y}$

ΔP = ΔPₓ/P_{y} + Pₓ ΔP_{y} / P_{y}²

ΔP = 8,195 0.05 + 5.85 0.03 / 8,195²

ΔP = 0.006 + 0.0026

ΔP = 0.009 kg m

The result is

P = 14,045 ± 0.039 = (14,045 ± 0.03 ) k gm/s

Suppose that instead of being inclined to Earth's orbit around the Sun, the Moonâs orbit was in the same plane as Earthâs orbit

ycow [4]

Answer:

c) 12

Explanation:

A Solar eclipse occurs when The Sun, The Earth and The Moon comes in a straight line with the Moon being in between the Earth and the Sun. At this point the Moon appears to block the Sun and Moon's shadow falls on Earth. This would occur only on the day of the New Moon.

If the Moon's orbit was in the same plane as that of the Earth's orbit. Every new Moon, there would be a Solar Eclipse. The Lunar cycle is of 29.5 Days which means there will be one new Moon every month. So there will be 12 Solar Eclipses every year.

Currently, the orbit of the Moon is tilted at an angle of 5° thus we don't see that many Solar eclipses. Maximum of 5 solar eclipses can occur in an year.

A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.

momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s

= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.

momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s

= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .

Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .

Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ

vertical component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ

For making total momentum in the plane zero

.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s

.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s

Dividing

Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83

θ = 40⁰.

The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.
