Answer:

A heterogenous mixture.

Explanation:

If you added sand to your coffee, the kind of mixture your coffee would now

be is a heterogenous mixture.

A heterogenous mixture can be defined as any mixture which has a different or non-uniform composition and properties throughout any given sample of the mixture. This ultimately implies that, the constituents of a heterogenous mixture always remain separate in the sample and as such comprises of two or more phases.

Hence, a mixture of sand and coffee is simply a heterogenous mixture and can easily be separated into their various components.

Approximate the Sun as a uniform sphere of radius 6.96 X 108 m, rotating about its central axis with a period of 25.4 days. Supp

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

T = 184 seconds

Explanation:

First in order to solve this, we need to know which is the expression to calculate the period. This is an exercise of angular velocity, so:

T = 2π/w

Where w: angular speed (in rad/s)

So, let's calculate first the innitial angular speed:

w = 2π/T

Converting days to seconds:

25.4 days * 24 h/day * 3600 s/h = 2,194,560 s

Then the angular speed:

w = 2π / 2,194,560 = 2.863x10^-6 rad/s

Now, the innitial angular momentum is:

I = (2/5)Mr² replacing data:

I = 2/5* (6.96x10^8)² * M = 1.94x10^17m² * M

so the initial angular momentum would be:

L = Iω = 2.863x10^-6 * 1.94x10^17 M

L = 5.55x10^11 m²/s * M = final angular momentum

Now the final I = 2/5Mr²

Final I = 2/5 * (6.37x10^6)² * M = 1.62x10^13m² * M

Then 5.55x10^11m²/s * M = 1.62x10^13m² * M * ω → M cancels

ω = 3.42x10^-2 rad/s

Then the new period

T = 2π/ω = 2*3.14 / 3.42x10^-2

T = 184 seconds

9. A 50 kg physics i student trudges from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor, going up a total height of 13 m.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

6370 J

Explanation:

By the law of energy conservation, the work done by the student would be the change in potential enegy from 1st floor to 3rd floor, or a change of 13 m

$W = E_p = mgh$

where m = 50kg is the mass of the student, g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational constant and h = 13 m is the height difference

$W = 50*9.8*13 = 6370 J$

Model rocket engines are sized by thrust, thrust duration, and total impulse, among other characteristics. A size C5 model rocke

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

v_{f} = 115.95 m / s

Explanation:

This is an exercise of a variable mass system, let's form a system formed by the masses of the rocket, the mass of the engines and the masses of the injected gases, in this case the system has a constant mass and can be solved using the conservation the amount of movement. Which can be described by the expressions

Thrust = $v_{e} \frac{dM}{dt}$

$v_{f}$ -v₀ = v_{e} $ln ( \frac{M_{o} }{M_{f}} )$

where v_{e} is the velocity of the gases relative to the rocket

let's apply these expressions to our case

the initial mass is the mass of the engines plus the mass of the fuel plus the kill of the rocket, let's work the system in SI units

M₀ = 25.5 +12.7 + 54.5 = 92.7 g = 0.0927 kg

The final mass is the mass of the engines + the mass of the rocket

M_{f} = 25.5 +54.5 = 80 g = 0.080 kg

thrust and duration of ignition are given

thrust = 5.26 N

t = 1.90 s

Let's start by calculating the velocity of the gases relative to the rocket, where we assume that the rate of consumption is linear

thrust = v_{e} $\frac{M_{f} - M_{o} }{t_{f} - t_{o} }$

v_{e} = thrust $\frac{\Delta t}{\Delta M}$

v_{e} = 5.26 $\frac{1.90}{0.080 -0.0927}$

v_{e} = - 786.93 m / s

the negative sign indicates that the direction of the gases is opposite to the direction of the rocket

now we look for the final speed of the rocket, which as part of rest its initial speed is zero

v_{f}-0 = v_{e} $ln ( \frac{M_{o} }{M_{f} } )$

we calculate

v_{f} = 786.93 ln (0.0927 / 0.080)

v_{f} = 115.95 m / s

A 1500 kg tractor pulls a 750 kg trailer north and applies a 2250 N force on it. What is the force on the tractor?

Masja [62]

Answer:

law of Action and Reaction F = 2250 N

Explanation:

The tractor and the trailer are two bodies that interact, therefore, by the law of Action and Reaction, the force that one applies on the other is equal to the force that the second body (trailer) applies on the first (tractor), but with opposite direction

F = 2250 N

directed from trailer to tractor
