Answer:

F = 589.040 N

Number of significant digits = 6

Explanation:

As we know that all the measurements in which the value is given with some decimal then in that case all the numbers in the given measurement is always significant digits.

Since here the force measurement gives the value with decimal as

F = 589.040 N.

So here we can say that total digits in this measurement is significant figures.

So correct answer is 6 digits

It's not true.

The crucial principle for a scientific experiment is to keep only ONE variable at a time.

In this case, the variable of this experiment is actually the tomato is in sunny part or in shady part, instead of whether applying Ca fertilizer.

A 0.400-kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 5.86 m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0.900-kg puck initially at rest.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

a) The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second, b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards, c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

Explanation:

a) Since collision is perfectly elastic and there are no external forces exerted on pucks system, the phenomenon must be modelled after the Principles of Momentum and Energy Conservation. Changes in gravitational potential energy can be neglected. That is:

Momentum

$m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}$

Energy

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2})=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+ m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})$

$m_{1}\cdot v_{1,o}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,o}^{2} = m_{1}\cdot v_{1,f}^{2} + m_{2}\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

Where:

$m_{1}$ , $m_{2}$ - Masses of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in kilograms.

$v_{1,o}$ , $v_{2,o}$ - Initial speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Final speeds of the 0.400-kg and 0.900-kg pucks, measured in meters per second.

If $m_{1} = 0.400\,kg$ , $m_{2} = 0.900\,kg$ , $v_{1,o} = +5.86\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v_{2,o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the system of equation is simplified as follows:

$2.344\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s} = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f} + 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}$

$13.736\,J = 0.4\cdot v_{1,f}^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

Let is clear $v_{1,f}$ in first equation:

$0.4\cdot v_{1,f} = 2.344 - 0.9\cdot v_{2,f}$

$v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f}$

Now, the same variable is substituted in second equation and resulting expression is simplified and solved afterwards:

$13.736 = 0.4\cdot (5.86-2.25\cdot v_{2,f})^{2}+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$13.736 = 0.4\cdot (34.340-26.37\cdot v_{2,f}+5.063\cdot v_{2,f}^{2})+0.9\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$13.736 = 13.736-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} +2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}$

$2.925\cdot v_{2,f}^{2}-10.548\cdot v_{2,f} = 0$

$2.925\cdot v_{2,f}\cdot (v_{2,f}-3.606) = 0$

There are two solutions:

$v_{2,f} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ or $v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s}$

The first root coincides with the conditions before collision and the second one represents a physically reasonable solution.

Now, the final speed of the 0.400-kg puck is: ( $v_{2,f} = 3.606\,\frac{m}{s}$ )

$v_{1,f} = 5.86-2.25\cdot (3.606)$

$v_{1,f} = -2.254\,\frac{m}{s}$

The final speed of the 0.400-kg puck after the collision is 2.254 meters per second.

b) The negative sign of the solution found in part a) indicates that 0.400-kg puck is moving westwards.

c) The speed of the 0.900-kg puck after the collision is 3.606 meters per second eastwards.

A uniform solid disk rolls without slipping down an incline making an angle θ with the horizontal. What is its acceleration? (En

Maru [420]

Answer:

aCM = (2/3)*g*Sin θ

Explanation:

Consider a uniform solid disk having mass M, radius R and rotational inertia I about its center of mass, rolling without slipping down an inclined plane.

In order to get the linear acceleration of the object’s center of mass, aCM ,

down the incline, we analyze this as follows:

The force of gravity (W = Mg) acting straight down is resolved into components parallel and perpendicular to the incline.

Since the object rolls without slipping there is a force of friction (Ff) acting on the object, at it’s point of contact with the incline, in the direction up the incline.

Newton’s 2nd Law gives then for acceleration down the incline

∑Fx' = m*aCM ⇒ m*g*Sin θ - Ff = m*aCM

The force of friction also causes a torque around the center of mass

having lever arm R so we can also write

τ = R*Ff = I*α

Solving for the friction, Ff = I*α / R

This is used in the expression derived from the 2nd Law:

m*g*Sin θ - Ff = m*g*Sin θ - (I*α / R) = m*aCM

The objects angular acceleration is related to the linear acceleration of the edge that contacts the incline by

a = R*α

Since the object rolls without slipping this has the same magnitude as aCM so we have that

α = aCM / R

Using this in

m*g*Sin θ - (I*α / R) = m*g*Sin θ - (I*(aCM / R) / R) = m*aCM

⇒ aCM = (m*g*Sin θ*R²) / (I + m*R²)

if I = (1/2)*m*R² (for a uniform solid disk)

we get

aCM = (2/3)*g*Sin θ

A = delta v over delta t delta v is calculated with final velocity less initial velocity then delta v is equals to 20 - 0 that is 20m/s and to calculate delta t is like delta v is final time less initial time as initial time always is 0 the delta t is equals to 10s then a = 20/10 then acceleration is 10m/s^2 (remember that is squared)
