Answer:

Force exerted, F = 1.5 N

Explanation:

It is given that, a boxer punches a sheet of paper in midair and brings it from rest up to a speed of 30 m/s in 0.060 s.

i.e. u = 0

v = 30 m/s

Time taken, t = 0.06 s

Mass of the paper, m = 0.003 kg

We need to find the force the boxer exert on it. The force can be calculated using second law of motion as :

$F=m\times a$

$F=m\times (\dfrac{v-u}{t})$

$F=0.003\times (\dfrac{30}{0.06})$

F = 1.5 N

So, the force the boxer exert on the paper is 1.5 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Is the state of the air in an isolated room completely specified by the temperature and the pressure? Explain

anyanavicka [17]

I think these two variables are sufficient to completely specify the state.

In an isolated room with air only ,the volume is fixed.Mass ,density and its specific volume can be easily known.

Other thermodynamic properties like entropy, enthalpy etc are also fixed at a given temperature & pressure.

The instantaneous speed of a particle moving along one straight line is v(t) = ate−6t, where the speed v is measured in meters p

beks73 [17]

Answer:

v_max = (1/6)e^-1 a

Explanation:

You have the following equation for the instantaneous speed of a particle:

$v(t)=ate^{-6t}$ (1)

To find the expression for the maximum speed in terms of the acceleration "a", you first derivative v(t) respect to time t:

$\frac{dv(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[ate^{-6t}]=a[(1)e^{-6t}+t(e^{-6t}(-6))]$ (2)

where you have use the derivative of a product.

Next, you equal the expression (2) to zero in order to calculate t:

$a[(1)e^{-6t}-6te^{-6t}]=0\\\\1-6t=0\\\\t=\frac{1}{6}$

For t = 1/6 you obtain the maximum speed.

Then, you replace that value of t in the expression (1):

$v_{max}=a(\frac{1}{6})e^{-6(\frac{1}{6})}=\frac{e^{-1}}{6}a$

hence, the maximum speed is v_max = ((1/6)e^-1)a

Calculate the potential energy stored in a metal ball of a mass of 80 kg kept at a height of 15m from the earth surface.What wil

True [87]

Answer:

39200 joules

the potential energy will be zero

Explanation:

we know that potential energy is found by multiplying mass, acceleration due to gravity and height from the Earth's surface

so it will be

potential energy= mgh

80x9.8x15

= 39200 joules

the potential energy of the mental ball will be zero when kept on the Earth's surface because the height from the Earth's surface will be zero and zero multiplied to any number is zero only

I have a doubt with the second one, this is what I think it is. Consult your teacher if you think my answer for the second one is wrong
