"watt" means "Joule of energy per second"

"60 watts" means "60 Joules per second"

(60 joules per second) x (5 seconds) = <em>300 Joules of energy</em>

Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up

Westkost [7]

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

$m$ = mass of the cube = $6.0 kg$

Consider the three cubes together as one.

$M$ = mass of the three cubes together = $3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg$

$a$ = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

$F$ = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

$F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N$

$F_{L}$ = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

$F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N$

3. What are the challenges of looking for Dyson spheres?

S_A_V [24]

1. it is difficult to search for it . Because infrared rays will never penetrate through earth atmosphere.

2. we are unaware of how it looks like and we only know it is red and will glow . A damaged star also looks like this.

3. Dust also makes is hard to detect Dyson spheres . So we will get confused between Dyson sphere and a star surrounded by dust.

How much heat is absorbed by a 450g gold block as energy from the sun causes its temperature to change from 27°C to 32°C? (Speci

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Q = 1057.5 [cal]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.

$Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where:

Q = heat energy [cal]

Cp = specific heat = 0.47 [cal/g*°C]

T_final = final temperature = 32 [°C]

T_initial = initial temperature = 27 [°C]

m = mass of the substance = 450 [g]

Now replacing:

$Q=450*0.47*(32-27)\\Q=1057.5[cal]$

A 790kg car moving at 7 m/s takes a turn around a circle with a radius of 20 m. Determined the net force (in Newton’s) acting up

prisoha [69]

1935.5 N is the "net force" acting on a car.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

Mass of the car is 790 kg.

Velocity of the car is 7 m/s. (v)

It turned around with 20 m. (r)

We know that, Net force = m × a

$\text { Here, acceleration of the car is radial acceleration } a_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{v^{2}}{r}$

$\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{7^{2}}{20}$

$\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{49}{20}$

$a_{\text {rad }}=2.45 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Now, Net force = m × a

Net force = 790 × 2.45

Net force = 1935.5 N
