What does Newton's first law of motion tell us about velocity?

1 answer:

6 0

Every body continues in a state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a resultant external force. That's approximately Newton's first law of motion.
So, the velocity of something tends to remain the same, unless an external force changes it. This is sometimes called "inertia". A body at rest, as in with "no velocity" will tend to remain at rest, unless there's a force on it. inertia again.

The coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump is 1.6. Calculate the heating effect in kJ/s this heat pump will produ

grin007 [14]

Answer:

8 KJ/ s

Explanation:

Heat pumps Transfer thermal energy through absorbing of heat that comes from cold region and then release to warmer area by utilizing external power.

The coefficient of performance known as COP provide the ratio of both heating and cooling that are supplied to required work.

✓QH=The rate at which heat is produced = ?

✓COP= Coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump = 1.6

✓ W(in)= power consumption= 5KW

QH=The rate at which heat is produced=[Coefficient of performance of a residential heat pump] × [power consumption]

= 1.6 × 5KW

=8 KJ/ s

In still water, a boat averages 18 18 miles per hour. it takes the same amount of time to travel 16 miles 16 miles downstream,

Vladimir79 [104]

<span>The current is 6 miles per hour.
Let's create a few equations:
Traveling with the current:
(18 + c)*t = 16

Traveling against the current:
(18 - c)*t = 8

Let's multiply the 2nd equation by 2
(18 - c)*t*2 = 16

Now subtract the 1st equation from the equation we just doubled.
(18 - c)*t*2 = 16
(18 + c)*t = 16

(18 - c)*t*2 - (18 + c)*t = 0
Divide both sides by t
(18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0

Now solve for c
(18 - c)*2 - (18 + c) = 0
36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
36 - 2c - 18 - c = 0
18 - 3c = 0
18 = 3c
6 = c

So the current is 6 mph.
Let's verify that.
(18 + 6)*t = 16
24*t = 16
t = 16/24 = 2/3

(18 - 6)*t = 8
12*t = 8
t = 8/12 = 2/3

And it's verified.</span>

The maximum force that the athlete exerts on the bag is equal to 1,500 N and in the opposite direction as the force that the bag exerts on the athlete.

<h3>Newton's third law of motion</h3>

Newton's third law of motion states that action and reaction are equal and opposite.

Fa = -Fb

The force exerted by the athlete on the bag is equal to the force the bag exerted on the athlete but in opposite direction.

Thus, the maximum force that the athlete exerts on the bag is equal to 1,500 newtons and in the opposite direction as the force that the bag exerts on the athlete.
