8. A book is pushed a distance of 0.78 m by a force that gives the book an acceleration of 1.54 m/s². If 1.56 J of work is done

on the book, what is the book’s mass?

Answer:

1.29 kg

Explanation:

As we know that

W= FS

1.56 = F (0.78)

F= 1.56/0.78

F= 2 N

Now, According to the definition of Force

F= ma

then

m= F /a

m= 2 / 1.54

m = 1.29 kg

A heavy anvil is suspended by a 0.75 m long steel wire that has a mass of 12 g. When the wire is plucked, it hums at its fundame

Dima020 [189]

Explanation:

It is given that,

length of steel wire, l = 0.75 m

Mass of the wire, m = 12 g = 0.012 kg

Fundamental frequency, f = 120 Hz

We need to find the mass of the anvil (m'). The fundamental frequency is given by :

$f=\dfrac{v}{2l}$

v is the speed of the mass

Speed is given by :

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

$\mu$ is the mass per unit length, $\mu=\dfrac{m}{l}$

$f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}$

T is the tension in the wire,

$f=\dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{Tl}{m}}$

$T=4f^2lm$

$T=4(120)^2\times 0.75\times 0.012$

T = 518.4 N

Tension in the wire, T = m' g

$m'=\dfrac{T}{g}$

$m'=\dfrac{518.4}{9.8}$

m' = 52.89 kg

So, the mass of the anvil is 52.89 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which term is a scalar quantity?

balu736 [363]

Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Distance is a scalar quantity. It refers only to how far an object has traveled. For example, 4 feet is a distance; it gives no information about direction.

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. What total distance does the m

harina [27]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A mass oscillates up and down on a vertical spring with an amplitude of 3 cm and a period of 2 s. It is a case of simple harmonic motion. If the amplitude of a wave is T seconds, then the distance cover by that object is 4 times the amplitude.

In 2 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 12 cm.

In 1 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 6 cm

So, in 16 seconds, distance covered by the mass is 96 cm

So, the distance covered by the mass in 16 seconds is 96 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.
