Answer:

F = 3600 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of force must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 2000 [kg]

a = acceleration = 1.8 [m/s^2]

Now replacing:

F = 2000*1.8

F = 3600 [N]

Ethylene glycol, the primary ingredient in antifreeze, has the chemical formula C2H6O2. The radiator fluid used in most cars is
disa [49]

Answer:

-30 °C

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the molality (m) of the solution. If the solution is 50% C₂H₆O₂ by mass. It means that in 100 g of solution, the are 50 g of solute (C₂H₆O₂) and 50 g of solvent (water).

The molar mass of C₂H₆O₂ is 62.07 g/mol. The moles of solute are:

50 g × (1 mol / 62.07 g) = 0.81 mol

The mass of the solvent is 50 g = 0.050 kg.

The molality is:

m = 0.81 mol / 0.050 kg = 16 m

The freezing-point depression (ΔT) can be calculated using the following expression.

ΔT = Kf × m = (1.86 °C/m) × 16 m = 30 °C

where,

Kf: freezing-point constant

The normal freezing point for water is 0°C. The freezing point of the radiator fluid is:

0°C - 30°C = -30 °C

g Suppose that you charge a 3 F capacitor in a circuit containing eight 3.0 V batteries, so the final potential difference acros
Vladimir79 [104]

The complex, highly technical formula for capacitors is

<em>Q = C V</em>

Charge = (capacitance) (voltage)

Charge = (3 F) (24 V)

<em>Charge = 72 Coulombs</em>

The positive plate of the capacitor is missing 72 coulombs worth of electrons.  They were sucked into positive terminal of the battery stack.

The negative plate of the capacitor has 72 coulombs worth of extra electrons.  They came from the negative terminal of the battery stack.

You should be aware that this is a humongous amount of charge !  An average <u><em>lightning bolt</em></u>, where electrons flow between a cloud and the ground for a short time, is estimated to transfer around <u><em>15 coulombs</em></u> of charge !

The scenario in the question involves a "supercapacitor".  3 F is is no ordinary component ... One distributor I checked lists one of these that's able to stand 24 volts on it, but that product costs $35 apiece, you have to order at least 100 of them at a time, and they take 2 weeks to get.  

Also, IF you can charge this animal to 24 volts, it will hold 864J of energy.  You'd probably have a hard time accomplishing this task with a bag of leftover AA batteries.

A wild pig attacks a hunter with a velocity of 5 m/s. At the instant when the pig is at a distance of 100 m the hunter shoots an
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

31.55 m/s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity of the arrow is u metre per second.

Angle of projection, θ = 40 degree

range = 100 m

Use the formula for the range.

R = \frac{u^{2}Sin2\theta }{g}

100 = u^2 Sin(2 x 40) / 9.8

100 x 9.8 = u^2 Sin 80

u^2 = 995.11

u = 31.55 m/s

When a person plucks a guitar string, the number of half wavelengths that fit into the length of the string determines the _____
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Each half wavelength has a point of largest amplitude (aka a node). Depending on the wavelength each node oscillates at a certain rate of swings per unit of time. The latter is referred to as frequency and measure in Hertz [Hz].
