For the given question, the mass of the cart is 320 Kg.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Newton’s second law, the rate of change in momentum exerted by an object is directly proportional to the unbalanced force exerted on the object. So

        \text {Unbalanced Force } F=\frac{d(\text {momentum})}{d t}

As momentum of an object is derived from the product of mass and velocity of the object. Thus,

                        \text {Momentum}=m \times v

So,

               \text {Unbalanced Force } F=\frac{d(m \times v)}{d t}

As mass of an object tend to be same irrespective of time and velocity can vary with time, we obtain,

\text {Unbalanced Force } F=m \times \frac{d v}{d t}=m \times \text { accelearation }

As it is known that rate of change in velocity is equal to the acceleration exerted by the object. Thus, Newton’s second law can also be stated as that the external unbalanced force exerted on the object will be equal to the mass of the object and the acceleration exerted by the object. So in the present case, as we known the force and acceleration, the mass of the object will be determined by the formula F = ma.

               F=m \times \text {acceleration}

Therefore,

             \text {Mass}=\frac{\text { Force }}{\text { Acceleration }}=\frac{8480}{26.5}=320 \mathrm{kg}

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Autotrophs

Explanation:

When you go down a food chain continuing to ask "what does it eat?" the last living thing that you will land upon is an autotroph.

Autotrophs are the primary producers as they (photoautotrophs) use the energy either from the sun to prepare  there food by the process of photosynthesis or, more rarely, obtain chemical energy through oxidation (chemoautotrophs) to make organic substances from inorganic ones.

Autotrophs get consumed by the primary consumers in the food chain.

A golf club with 65J of kinetic energy strikes a stationary golf ball with a mass of 46g. The energy transfer is only 20% effici
umka21 [38]
Kinetic energy of golf club = 65J, 
kinetic energy supplied to golf ball = 20% of 65 = 0.2 * 65 = 13J,
kinetic energy of ball = [mass * Velocity²]/2,
mass = 46gm = 0.046Kg,
[0.046 * V²]/2 = 13, or 0.046 *V² = 26, 
V² = 26/0.046 = 565.22, 
V = 23.77 m/sec = initial velocity of golf ball after hitting.

A car company wants to ensure its newest model can stop in less than 450 ft when traveling at 60 mph. If we assume constant dece
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Explanation:

Given;

maximum distance to be traveled by the car when the brake is applied, d = 450 ft

initial velocity of the car, u = 60 mph = (1.467 x 60) = 88.02 ft/s

final velocity of the car when it stops, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to solve for the deceleration of the car.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 88.02² + (2 x 450)a

-900a = 7747.5204

a = -7747.5204 / 900

a = -8.61 ft/s²

|a| = 8.61 ft/s²

Therefore, the value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Which is a scalar quantity displacement distance force acceleration​
cestrela7 [59]

A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.

I hope this helps you.
