Making Soap

Explanation:

The colonists were making soap. A lot of people don't know that soap is the result of reacting a base (potassium hydroxide) and an acid (animal fat) which produces a salt which is the white stuff we see in soap. This process is called saponification. Manufacturers just put additives like colors and scents to make them more appealing.

How are the forces observed related to the motion of the earth around the sun
Inga [223]

This question sounds like it came after some activity where
some forces were observed.  Since we were not there, and
we don't know what the activity was, we don't know what forces
were observed, and we have no clue to how they might be related
to the motion of the Earth around the sun.

A 2.1 ✕ 103-kg car starts from rest at the top of a 5.9-m-long driveway that is inclined at 19° with the horizontal. If an avera
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

3.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car,m=2.1\times 10^3 kg

Initial velocity,u=0

Distance,s=5.9 m

\theta=19^{\circ}

Average friction force,f=4.0\times 10^3 N

We have to find the speed of the car at the bottom of the driveway.

Net force,F_{net}=mgsin\theta-f=2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Acceleration,a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}

v=\sqrt{2as}

v=\sqrt{2\times \frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}\times 5.9}

v=3.9 m/s

An airplane weighing 11,000 N climbs to a
Gennadij [26K]

The power in horsepower is 40.1 hp

Explanation:

We start by calculating the work done by the airplane during the climb, which is equal to its change in gravitational potential energy:

W=(mg)\Delta h

where

mg = 11,000 N is the weight of the airplane

\Delta h = 1.6 km = 1600 m is the change in height

Substituting,

W=(11,000)(1600)=17.6\cdot 10^6 J

Now we can calculate the power delivered, which is given by

P=\frac{W}{t}

where

W=17.6\cdot 10^6 J is the work done

t=9.8 min \cdot 60 = 588 s is the time taken

Substituting,

P=\frac{17.6\cdot 10^6 J}{588}=2.99\cdot 10^4 W

Finally, we can convert the power into horsepower (hp), keeping in mind that

1 hp = 746 W

Therefore,

P=\frac{2.99\cdot 10^4}{746}=40.1 hp
