If a person pulls a cart to the right at 5N of force and another person pulls to the left with a 15N of force? What is the net f

Physics

zepelin [54]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The net force is 10 [N] acting to the left

Explanation:

To solve this type of problem we must make a sum of the forces acting on the cart, since the forces are vectors, we know that vectors can be added, In this way forces that go in the same direction are added and forces in opposite directions are subtracted.

FL = force to the left = - 15 [N]

FR = force to the right = 5 [N]

FT = Resultant force [N]

- 15 + 5 = FT

FT = - 10 [N]

The negative sign tells us that the force acts to the left.

Block 1, of mass m1 = 1.30 kg , moves along a frictionless air track with speed v1 = 27.0 m/s . It collides with block 2, of mas
Dennis_Churaev [7]

(A) The total initial momentum of the system is

(1.30 kg) (27.0 m/s) + (23.0 kg) (0 m/s) = 35.1 kg•m/s

(B) Momentum is conserved, so that the total momentum of the system after the collision is

35.1 kg•m/s = (1.30 kg + 23.0 kg) <em>v</em>

where <em>v</em> is the speed of the combined blocks. Solving for <em>v</em> gives

<em>v</em> = (35.1 kg•m/s) / (24.3 kg) ≈ 1.44 m/s

(C) The kinetic energy of the system after the collision is

1/2 (1.30 kg + 23.0 kg) (1.44 m/s)² ≈ 25.4 J

and before the collision, it is

1/2 (1.30 kg) (27.0 m/s)² ≈ 474 J

so that the change in kinetic energy is

∆<em>K</em> = 25.4 J - 474 J ≈ -449 J

Part a a calorimeter consists of an aluminum cup inside of an insulated container. The cup is weighed on a top-loading balance a
vovikov84 [41]

The change in heat q for the aluminum cup is 141 J.  

<h3>What is Specific heat?</h3>

A substance's heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to increase its overall temperature by one degree. The heat capacity is known as the specific heat capacity or the specific heat if the substance's mass is unity.

change in heat -

The amount of heat Q that is transported to create a temperature shift depends on the substance and phase involved, the mass of the system, and the magnitude of the temperature change. (A) The temperature change and the amount of heat transported are directly inversely related.

The answer's sign dig is determined by a calculation's lowest sign digits.

The solution will need 3 digits because the temperatures are provided with 3 significant digits and the specified heat has 3 significant digits (the mass has 4 significant digits).

31.91 g   * 0.903 J/g-C  *  (26.1 - 21.2 C) = 141 J

You will need to use the Momentum Principle to do the first part of this problem, and the Energy Principle to do the second part
My name is Ann [436]

Answer

given,

Mass of satellite, m = 4500 kg

Mass of the earth, M = 6 x 10²⁴ Kg

Earth circular orbit radius, R = 9.3 x 10⁶ m

a) To find the speed of the satellite

   we need to equate the gravitation force between earth and satellite with the centripetal force.

\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}=\dfrac{mV^2}{R}

V = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}

V = \sqrt{\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}}{9.3\times 10^6}}

   V = 6559.89 m/s

b) Minimum amount of energy of satellite

    E = \dfrac{GMm}{r}-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

    E =\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}\times 4500}{9.3\times 10^6}}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4500\times 6559.89^2

           E = 9.68 x 10¹⁰ J

Minimum amount of energy require to move satellite is equal to E = 9.68 x 10¹⁰ J

The force exerted by the wind on the sails of a sailboat is fsail = 410 n north. the water exerts a force of fkeel = 200 n east.
tangare [24]
The North and East forces are 90° apart, making a right triangle with the resultant as the hypotenuse.
(200)² + (410)² = F²
40,000 + 168,100 = F²
√(208,100) = F
456.18 N = F

F= ma
456.18 N = (300 kg)a
456.18 / 300kg = a
1.52 m/s² = a

The sailboat will be heading North East. To  find the angle of the boats trajectory use inverse tangent function.
tan(Ф) = opposite/adjacent
arctan(opposite/adjacent) = Ф

arctan(410/200) = 64° North East
