A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force resisting the carts moti

on is 15.0 N, how hard does the man have to push so that the cart accelerates at 1.50m/s/s.

The force applied by the man is 60 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that:

\sum F = ma (1)

where

\sum F is the net force acting on the child+cart

m is the mass of the child+cart system

a is their acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 30.0 kg is the mass

a=1.50 m/s^2

And there are two forces acting on the child+cart system:

  • The forward force of pushing, F
  • The force resisting the cart motion, R = 15.0 N

Therefore we can write the net force as

\sum F = F -R

where R is negative since its direction is opposite to the motion

So eq.(1) can be rewritten as

F-R=ma

And solving for F,

F=ma+R=(30.0)(1.50)+15.0=60 N

What is the wavelength (in air) of a 13.0 khz vlf radio wave?
bonufazy [111]
Since,
Speed = Frequency * WaveLength

=> WaveLength = Speed / Frequency --- (A)

Frequency = 13.0 kHz.
As the radio waves are electromagnetic waves, their speed is equals to the speed of light. Therefore,
Speed = C = 3 *  10^{8}  m/ s^{2}

Plug in the values in equation(A):

A => WaveLength = \frac{3 * 10^{8}}{13*10^{3}}

Ans: Wavelength = 23.077 kilometers.

What ocean depth would the volume of an aluminium sphere be reduced by 0.10%
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

6400 m

Explanation:

You need to use the bulk modulus, K:

K = ρ dP/dρ

where ρ is density and P is pressure

Since ρ is changing by very little, we can say:

K ≈ ρ ΔP/Δρ

Therefore, solving for ΔP:

ΔP = K Δρ / ρ

We can calculate K from Young's modulus (E) and Poisson's ratio (ν):

K = E / (3 (1 - 2ν))

Substituting:

ΔP = E / (3 (1 - 2ν)) (Δρ / ρ)

Before compression:

ρ = m / V

After compression:

ρ+Δρ = m / (V - 0.001 V)

ρ+Δρ = m / (0.999 V)

ρ+Δρ = ρ / 0.999

1 + (Δρ/ρ) = 1 / 0.999

Δρ/ρ = (1 / 0.999) - 1

Δρ/ρ = 0.001 / 0.999

Given:

E = 69 GPa = 69×10⁹ Pa

ν = 0.32

ΔP = 69×10⁹ Pa / (3 (1 - 2×0.32)) (0.001/0.999)

ΔP = 64.0×10⁶ Pa

If we assume seawater density is constant at 1027 kg/m³, then:

ρgh = P

(1027 kg/m³) (9.81 m/s²) h = 64.0×10⁶ Pa

h = 6350 m

Rounded to two sig-figs, the ocean depth at which the sphere's volume is reduced by 0.10% is approximately 6400 m.

A object with a mass of 1.5 kg is lifted from the ground to a height of 0.22 m what is the objects potential energy
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

<h2>3.3 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 1.5 × 10 × 0.22

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.3 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

d = 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is 0.251m

Explanation:

Given that

frequency of the sound is 5920 Hz

v=1485m/s

t=5.63s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\\\vt=2d\\\\d=\frac{vt}{2}

d=\frac{1485*5.63}{2}\\d= 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is \lambda = v/f

= (1485)/(5920)

= 0.251 m
