You run a race with your friend. At first you each have the same kinetic energy, but then you find that she is beating you. When

you increase your speed by 23%, you are running at the same speed she is. If your mass is 84 kg, what is her mass

Answer:

53.54 Kg

Explanation:

We know that kinetic energy is given by 0.5mv^{2}[\tex] where m is mass and v is the speed.Let your speed be v and the speed of the friend will be 1.23vSince kinetic energy is the same then[tex]0.5\times84v^{2}=0.5m_u(1.23)^{2}\\\m_u=53.54 Kg

A 100 N force is applied to a 50 kg crate resting on a level floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15. What is the acc
Nookie1986 [14]

The acceleration of the crate after it begins to move is 0.5 m/s²

We'll begin by calculating the the frictional force

Mass (m) = 50 Kg

Coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) = 0.15

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Normal reaction (N) = mg = 50 × 10 = 500 N

<h3>Frictional force (Fբ) =?</h3>

Fբ = μN

Fբ = 0.15 × 500

<h3>Fբ = 75 N</h3>

  • Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the crate

Frictional force (Fբ) = 75 N

Force (F) = 100 N

<h3>Net force (Fₙ) =?</h3>

Fₙ = F – Fբ

Fₙ = 100 – 75

<h3>Fₙ = 25 N</h3>

  • Finally, we shall determine the acceleration of the crate

Mass (m) = 50 Kg

Net force (Fₙ) = 25 N

<h3>Acceleration (a) =?</h3>

a = Fₙ / m

a = 25 / 50

<h3>a = 0.5 m/s²</h3>

Therefore, the acceleration of the crate is 0.5 m/s²

A 5-g lead bullet traveling in 20°C air at 300 m/s strikes a flat steel plate and stops.
densk [106]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Kinetic Energy and the Energy Produced by the heat loss. In mathematical terms kinetic energy can be described as:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

Replacing we have that the Total Kinetic Energy is

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

KE = \frac{1}{2} (5*10^{-3})(300)^2

KE =  225J

On the other hand the required Energy to heat up t melting point is

Q_1 = mC_p \Delta T

Q_2 = L_f m

Where,

m = Mass

C_p =Specific Heat

\Delta T =Change at temperature

L_f = Latent heat of fussion

Heat required to heat up to melting point,

Q = Q_1+Q_2

Q = mC_p \Delta T+L_f m

Q = 5*0.128*(327-20) + 5*24.7

Q = 310J

The energy required to melt is larger than the kinetic energy. Therefore the heat of fusion of lead would be 327 ° C: The melting point of lead.

A student measures the mass 8cm block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar.
antoniya [11.8K]

Correction

A student measures the mass <em><u>8cm3</u></em> block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar

Answer:

1.6\ g/cm^{3}

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume of an object expressed as \rho=\frac {m}{v} where \rho is the density, m is the mass of sugar and v is the volume of the sugar. Considering that the volume is given as 8cm3 for sugar then we substitute this for v and mass of 12.9 g we substitute for g then the density will be

\rho=\frac {12.9 g}{8 cm3}=1.6125\ g/cm^{3}\approx 1.6\ g/cm^{3}

In which space, outdoors or in your classroom, would it be easier to hear a musician? Explain
bixtya [17]

Answer:

It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom than outdoors

Explanation:

It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom due to the improved acoustics provided by the walls of the classroom whereby along with the direct sound of the musician, which is the lead source of the sounds, there is an increased number of indirect sound reaching the ear in the classroom than outdoors and due to precedence effect, all the sound appear to come from the musician

In music played outside, along side the direct sound from the musician, the indirect sound that reach the ear is echoed from maybe by only the ground while the majority of the sound from the music wanders away with the wind and in other directions as well as being absorbed such that speakers will be required to improve the sound of the music outdoors.
