A car generates 2,552 N and weighs 2,250 pounds. what is the rate of acceleration

1 answer:

6 0

Ans: a = 2.50 m/s^2

Explanation:
First convert the mass in its standard unit i.e. kilogram(kg):
2250 lbs = 1020.583kg

Next use Newton's Second law:
F = ma

Where F = 2552N
m = 1020.583kg

=> a = (2552/1020.583)
a = 2.50 m/s^2

Suppose you designed a spacecraft to work by photon pressure. The sail was a completely absorbing fabric of area 1.0 km2 and you

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

(a) F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

(b) P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

Explanation:

Area of sail A = 1.0 km² = 1.0 * 10⁶m²

Wavelength of light λ = 650 nm = 650 * 10⁻⁹ m

Rate of impact of photons R = 1 mol/s = 6.022 * 10²³ photons/s

(a)

Momentum of each photon is Ρ = h/λ = 6.625 * 10⁻³⁴ / 650 * 10⁻⁹

= 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ kg.m/s

Since the photons are absorbed completely, in every collision the above momentum is transferred to the sail.

Momentum transferred to the sail per second is product of rate of impact of photons and momentum transferred by each photon.

dp/dt = R * h/ λ

This is the force acting on the sail.

F = R * h/λ = 6.022 * 10²³ * 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

Pressure exerted by the radiation on the sail = Force acting on the sail / Area of the sail

P = F/A = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ / 1.0 * 10⁶ = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

Acceleration of spacecraft a = F/m = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ /1.0 = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴m/s²

As the spacecraft starts from rest, initial speed u=0,m/s ,

final speed is u = 1.0 m/s after time t

v = u+at

t = 1.0 - 0/ 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ = 1629s = 27.2 min

t = 27.2 min

A ball bearing of radius of 1.5 mm made of iron of density

Serjik [45]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Viscosity \ of \ glycerine \ (\eta) = 14.382 \ poise}$

Given:

Radius of ball bearing (r) = 1.5 mm = 0.15 cm

Density of iron (ρ) = 7.85 g/cm³

Density of glycerine (σ) = 1.25 g/cm³

Terminal velocity (v) = 2.25 cm/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 980.6 cm/s²

To Find:

Viscosity of glycerine ( $\sf \eta$ )

Explanation:

$\boxed{ \bold{v = \frac{2}{9} \frac{( {r}^{2} ( \rho - \sigma)g)}{ \eta} }}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \frac{( {r}^{2}( \rho - \sigma)g )}{v}$

Substituting values of r, ρ, σ, v & g in the equation:

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \frac{( {(0.15)}^{2} \times (7.85 - 1.25) \times 980.6)}{2.25}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \frac{(0.0225 \times 6.6 \times 980.6)}{2.25}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \times \frac{145.6191}{2.25}$

$\sf \implies \eta = \frac{2}{9} \times 64.7196$

$\sf \implies \eta = 2 \times 7.191$

$\sf \implies \eta = 14.382 \: poise$

Calculate the heat energy needed to change the temperature of 2 kg of copper from 10°C to 110°C.

serious [3.7K]

<span>The specific heat (or the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by 1 degree Celsius) of copper is about 0.386 J/g/degree Celsius. This means that if we supply 0.386 J of energy to 1 gram of copper, its temperature will increase by 1 degree Celsius.</span>
