Imagine you are on the top of a mountain with four basketballs. The mass of the four basketballs are 100 kilograms, 200 kilogram

s, 300 kilograms, and 400 kilograms. If the basketballs rolled down the hill, which one would supply the greatest force at the bottom of the mountain (assume that their velocities were equal at the bottom of the mountain)?

Answer:

400 kilogram

Explanation:

Force exerted is directly proportional to the mass of an object.

F=ma where m is mass and a is acceleration. Taking uniform acceleration on all objects then the larger the mass the higher the force and vice versa. Theredore, among the masses given, 400 kilograms is the largest hence it exerts the largest force at the bottom

What is the weight of an object when the object has a mass of 22kg

Savatey [412]

Assuming the object is on earth the objects weight would be equal to its mass multiplied by the gravitational field constant

mass=22kg
g=9.80665N/kg

weight=(22 kg) (9.80665 N/kg)=215.7463N

generally g is rounded to be 10 N/kg so for any question where it asks the weight given the mass just multiply by 10 and that should suffice. In this case the answer would be 220 N

g a small smetal sphere, carrying a net charge is held stationarry. what is the speed are 0.4 m apart

weeeeeb [17]

Complete Question

A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q1=−2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q2= -8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q1. When the two spheres are 0.80m apart, q2 is moving toward q1 with speed 20ms−1. Assume that the two spheres can be treated as point charges. You can ignore the force of gravity.The speed of q2 when the spheres are 0.400m apart is.

Answer:

The value $v_2 = 4 \sqrt{10} \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge on the first sphere is $q_1 = 2\mu C = 2*10^{-6} \ C$

The charge on the second sphere is $q_2 = 8 \mu C = 8*10^{-6} \ C$

The mass of the second charge is $m = 1.50 \ g = 1.50 *10^{-3} \ kg$

The distance apart is $d = 0.4 \ m$

The speed of the second sphere is $v_1 = 20 \ ms^{-1}$

Generally the total energy possessed by when $q_2$ and $q_1$ are separated by $0.8 \ m$ is mathematically represented

$Q = KE + U$

Here KE is the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1 }{2} m (v_1)^2$

substituting value

$KE = \frac{1 }{2} * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (20 )^2$

$KE = 0.3 \ J$

And U is the potential energy which is mathematically represented as

$U = \frac{k * q_1 * q_2 }{d }$

substituting values

$U = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6} }{0.8 }$

$U = 0.18 \ J$

So

$Q = 0.3 + 0.18$

$Q = 0.48 \ J$

Generally the total energy possessed by when $q_2$ and $q_1$ are separated by $0.4 \ m$ is mathematically represented

$Q_f = KE_f + U_f$

Here $KE_f$ is the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

$KE_f = \frac{1 }{2} m (v_2^2$

substituting value

$KE_f = \frac{1 }{2} * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (v_2 )^2$

$KE_f = 7.50 *10^{ -4} (v_2 )^2$

And $U_f$ is the potential energy which is mathematically represented as

$U_f = \frac{k * q_1 * q_2 }{d }$

substituting values

$U_f = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6} }{0.4 }$

$U_f = 0.36 \ J$

From the law of energy conservation

$Q = Q_f$

So

$0.48 = 0.36 +(7.50 *10^{-4} v_2^2)$

$v_2 = 4 \sqrt{10} \ m/s$

What is the reaction force if a girl pulls on a cow?

Papessa [141]

Answer : B) The cow pulls back on the girl.

From newton’s third law we know that every action has a reaction force pushing back. So when the girl pulls on a cow, the cow is pulling back on her.

A wave traveling in water has a frequency of 500.0 Hz and a wavelength of 3.00 m. What is the speed of the wave?

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

1500 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that for a wave,

Speed = frequency x wavelength

here we are given frequency = 500 Hz and wavelength = 3m

simply substitute into above equation

Speed = 500 Hz x 3m

= 1500 m/s
