Explanation :

Water is used to cool down automobile engines when they get hot. It is used as a coolant because it has a high heat capacity. It is approximately equal to $4.186\ J/g\ ^0C$ .

The heat capacity of a substance is defined as the change in temperature due to the addition and removal of heat. Its SI unit is joule per kelvin. It is also an extensive property of matter.

The specific heat of water shows that each gram of water can absorb or release 4.186 joules of heat.

In the case of water, it will soak up a large amount of heat and its do not increase by very large amount.

So, the correct option is (d) "Water has a high heat capacity".

Find the net force and acceleration. 10 points. Will give brainliest.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

a) 16 N

b) 2.13 m/s²

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the tv stand. There are four forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing up,

Friction force Nμ pushing left,

and applied force P pulling right.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

The net force in the x direction is:

∑F = P − Nμ

∑F = P − mgμ

∑F = 25 N − (7.5 kg) (10 m/s²) (0.12)

∑F = 16 N

Net force equals mass times acceleration:

∑F = ma

16 N = (7.5 kg) a

a = 2.13 m/s²

The gravitational force,F, on a rocket at a distance,r, from the center of the earth isgiven byF=kr2wherek= 1013N·km2. (Newton·k

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The gravitational force changing velocity is

$\frac{dF}{dt}=-8\frac{N}{s}$

Explanation:

The expression for the gravitational force is

$F=\frac{k}{r^{2}}\\\\k=10x10^{13} N*km^{2}\\\\r=10x10^{4} km\\\\V=0.4 \frac{km}{s}$

Differentiate the above equation

$\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{k}{r^{2}}\\\frac{dF}{dt}=k*r^{-2}\\\frac{dF}{dt}=-2*k*r^{-3} \frac{dr}{dt}\\\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-2k}{r^{3}}\frac{dr}{dt}$

The velocity is the distance in at time so

$V=\frac{dr}{dt}=0.4 \frac{km}{s}$

$\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-2*k}{r^{3}}*0.4\\\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-8*10x^{13}N*km^{2} }{(10x10^{4}) ^{3}} \\\frac{dF}{dt}=\frac{-8x10^{12} }{1x10^{12}}$

$\frac{dF}{dt}=-8\frac{N}{s}$

ONLINE CALCULATOR .A force of 187 pounds makes an angle of 73 degrees 36 ' with a second force. The resultant of the two forces

saul85 [17]

Answer:

The magnitudes of the second force is $Z = 129.9 N$

The magnitudes of the resultant force is $R = 256.047 N$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The force is $F = 187 \ lb$

The angle made with second force $\theta_o = 73 ^o 36' = 73 + \frac{36}{60} = 73.6^o$

The angle between the resultant force and the first force $\theta _1 = 29 ^o 1 ' = 29 + \frac{1}{60} = 29.0167^o$

For us to solve problem we are going to assume that

The magnitude of the second force is Z N

The magnitude of the resultant force is R N

According to Sine rule

$\frac{F}{sin (\theta _o - \theta_1 } = \frac{Z}{\theta _1}$

Substituting values

$\frac{187}{sin(73.3 - 29.01667)} =\frac{Z}{sin (29.01667)}$

$267.82 =\frac{Z}{0.4851}$

$Z = 129.9 N$

According to cosine rule

$R = \sqrt{F ^2 + Z^2 + 2(F) (Z) cos (\theta _o) }$

Substituting values

$R = \sqrt{187^2 + 129.9 ^2 + 2 (187 ) (129.9) cos (73.6)}$

$R = 256.047 N$
