A kitten sits in a lightweight basket near the edge of a table. A person accidentally knocks the basket off the table. As the ki

tten and basket fall, the kitten rolls, turns, kicks, and catches the basket in its claws. The basket lands on the floor with the kitten safely inside. If air resistance is negligible, what is the acceleration of the kitten-basket system while the kitten and basket are in midair? A The acceleration is directed downward with magnitude less than g because the basket is light. B The acceleration is directed downward with magnitude equal to g because the system is a projectile. C The acceleration fluctuates because of the rolling, turning, and kicking motion of the kitten. D The acceleration cannot be determined without knowing how hard the basket is pushed.

Answer:

the answer is B

Explanation: this was actually an ap exam question a few years back. the reason for answer B is that the only force being applied to the kitten is the force of gravity after being pushed.

What are the effects of pressure on liquids?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: Changes in pressure have very little effect on the volume of a liquid. Liquids are slightly incompressible because any increase in pressure can only slightly minimize the distance between the closely packed molecules. Hope this helps.

student built a simple heat engine that could lift masses. If the heat engine takes in 300 J of heat and loses 50 J to the envir
k0ka [10]

Answer:

So it will lift the mass by h = 17 m

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we know that

Q_1 = W + Q_2

here we know that

Q_1 = 300 J

Q_2 = 50 J

now we have

W = 300 - 50

W = 250 J

so work done by the engine is 250 J

now we have

W = mgh

250 = 1.5 \times 9.81 \times h

h = 17 m

What is the maximum height a 95 W motor may vertically lift a 120 N weight in 6.2 s?
leva [86]

Answer:

a. 4.9 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must take into account that power is defined as the relationship between the work and the time in which the work is done.

P = W/t

where:

P = power = 95 [W] (units of watts)

W = work [J] (units of Joules)

t = time = 6.2 [s]

We can clear the work from the previous equation.

W = P*t

W = 95*6.2 = 589 [J]

Now we know that the work is defined by the product of the force by the distance, therefore we can express the work done with the following equation.

W = F*d

where:

F = force = 120 [N] (units of Newtons)

d = distance [m]

d = W/F

d = 589/120

d = 4.9 [m]
