Answer:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time = Δv/Δt. To do these problems, you need to find out how much the speed changed and over what period of time it changed.

Snail 1 changes from 4 cm/min to 7 cm/min in 3 minutes. Subtract the starting velocity (4 cm/min) from the ending velocity (7 cm/min) then divide by the time (3 min):

Snail 1 = (7 cm/min. - 4 cm/min)/(3 minutes) = ? (remember to put down the units)

Snail 2 changed from 7 cm/min. down to 1 cm/min. in 3 minutes

Snail 2 = (1 cm/min. - 7 cm/min.)/(3 min.) = ? (note that the acceleration is negative when you slow down)

I hope this helps you

A regular atom has a net charge of _____

Doss [256]

An atom is defined as having the same number of electrons (negative charge), protons (positive charge) and neutrons (no charge). This means that it will have the same amount of negative and positive charge, giving it a net zero charge. On the other hand, an ion has different amount of electrons and protons.

A Shaolin monk of mass 60 kg is able to do a ‘finger stand’: he supports his whole weight on his two index fingers, giving him a

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

1500000 Pa

Explanation:

The formula for pressure is force per unit area.

P=F/A where F is force and A is area

Given that ;

F= mass * acceleration due to gravity

F= 60 * 9.81 = 588.6 = 589 N

A= area = 4cm² = 0.0004 m²

P= F/A = 589 / 0.0004

P= 1471500

P=1500000 Pa

A 10 kg monkey climbs up a massless rope that runs over a frictionless tree limb and back down to a 15 kg package on the ground.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

A. 4,9 m/s2

B. 2,0 m/s2

C. 120 N

Explanation:

In the image, 1 is going to represent the monkey and 2 is going to be the package. Let a_mín be the minimum acceleration that the monkey should have in the upward direction, so the package is barely lifted. Apply Newton’s second law of motion:

$\sum F_y=m_1*a_m_i_n = T-m_1*g$

If the package is barely lifted, that means that T=m_2*g; then:

$\sum F_y =m_1*a_m_i_n=m_2*g-m_1*g$

Solving the equation for a_mín, we have:

$a_m_i_n=((m_2-m_1)/m_1)*g = ((15kg-10kg)/10kg)*9,8 m/s^2 =4,9 m/s^2$

Once the monkey stops its climb and holds onto the rope, we set the equation of Newton’s second law as it follows:

For the monkey: $\sum F_y = m_1*a \rightarrow T-m_1*g=m_1*a$

For the package: $\sum F_y = m_2*a \rightarrow m_2*g - T = m_2*a$

The acceleration a is the same for both monkey and package, but have opposite directions, this means that when the monkey accelerates upwards, the package does it downwards and vice versa. Therefore, the acceleration a on the equation for the package is negative; however, if we invert the signs on the sum of forces, it has the same effect. To be clearer:

For the package: $\sum F_y = -m_2*a \rightarrow T-m2*g=-m_2*a \rightarrow m_2*g -T=m_2 *a$

We have two unknowns and two equations, so we can proceed. We can match both tensions and have:

$m_1*a+m_1*g=m_2*g-m_2*a$

Solving a, we have

$(m_1+m_2)*a =(m_2 - m1)*g\\\\a=((m_2-m_1)/(m_1+m_2))*g \rightarrow a=((15kg-10kg)/(10kg+15kg))*9,8 m/s^2\\\\a= 2,0 m/s^2$

We can then replace this value of a in one for the sums of force and find the tension T:

$T = m_1*a+m_1*g \rightarrow T=m_1*(a+g)\\\\T = 10kg*(2,0 m/s^2+9,8 m/s^2) \\\\T = 120 N$

Why is it good practice for scientists to repeat trails

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

It makes the data thet they collect more reliable so if they need the data again, they have already tested it a few times so therefor they know that it is right.
