A constant force of 12N is applied for 3.0s to a body initially at rest. The final velocity of the body is 6.0ms–1. What is the

mass of the body?

From the question,
u = 0m {s}^{ - 1}
v = 6m {s}^{ - 1}

t = 3s
F=12N



Using Impulse, the product of the constant force, F and time t equals the product of the mass of the body and change in velocity.

Ft =m(v-u)


12(3.0)=m(6.0- \: 0)
This implies that

36.0 = 6m
m =  \frac{36.0}{6.0}
\therefore \: m = 6.0kg


You can also use the equation of linear motion,
v = u + at
6 = 0 + a(3)
6 = 3a
a =  \frac{6}{3}

a = 2 {ms}^{ - 2}
But
F=ma
12 = m(2)
12 = 2m
\frac{12}{2}  = m
\therefore \: m = 6kg

When making a turn, do not have the steering wheel turned in the direction of the turn before beginning the turning maneuver.a)
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

a) True.

Explanation:

If you turn the wheel in the direction of the turn before beginning the turning maneuver then it's possible that there might be not enough space available for turning and also if you are waiting for the traffic to get clear with rear  ended then it will get pushed forward onto the coming traffic.

A rubber ball is dropped and bounces vertically from a horizontal concrete floor. If the ball has a speed of 3 m/s just before s
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

F=12.5N

Explanation:

Net force = rate of change of momentum

F = m*a

so find the change of momentum P

Pdown

P=m*v_1=0.42kg*3m/s

Pup

P=m*v_1=0.42kg*6.5m/s

dP = change in P

dP= 0.42kg (3- -.6.5)m/s =3.99 kg m/s

dT = 0.32 s

so

F = \frac{dP}{dt}=\frac{3.99Kg*m/s}{0.32s} =12.468 N

one horsepower is a unit of power equal to 746w. how much energy can a 150-horsepower engine transform in 10.0s?
Dafna1 [17]

1 watt = 1 joule/second

1 horsepower = 746 watts = 746 joule/second

   (150 horsepower) x (746 watt/HP) x (1 joule/sec  /  watt) x (10 sec)

=  (150 x 746 x 1 x 10)  joule  =  1,119,000 joules .

k0ka [10]

Answer: a. boiler - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

b. combustion chamber - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

c. condenser - III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

d. control rod - I. part of a coal-fired power plant.

e. generator- III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

f. turbine - III. part of a coal-fired power plant and part of a nuclear power plant.

Explanation:

a. Boiler: It is used in the coal power plant to heat the water used for producing electricity. The boiler keeps the temperature of water or steam at a desired level.

b. Combustion chamber: It is used for combustion of coal and using thermal energy for electricity generation.

c. Condenser; It is used in both nuclear and coal power plants. It condense and receive from the turbine.

d. Control rod: It is used in the nuclear power plant for controlling the nuclear fission and fusion reactions of heavy metals.

e. Generator: It converts the thermal energy into electrical energy.

f. Turbine: The turbine blades move with the effect of steam or any form of energy and the energy so produce is used for generating electricity in generator.
