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}

Feliz [49]

Answer:

Speed changes at the rate of 24 m/s for each second over time.

Explanation:

We are told the object's acceleration is equal to 24 m/s²

Now we know that acceleration can also be defined as the rate of change of speed with time. Also speed has a unit known as m/s.

Thus, we can rephrase the acceleration in this question to mean;

Speed changes at the rate of 24 m/s for every second with time.

At the top of a pole vault, an athlete actually can do work pushing on the pole before releasing it. Suppose the pushing force t
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The work done on the athlete is approximately 2.09 J

Explanation:

From the definition of the work done by a variable force:

\displaystyle{\int_{x_i}^{x_j}F(x)dx}

and substituting with the function of our problem:

\displaystyle{\int_{0}^{0.19}(140x-190x^2)dx\approx2.09\mathrm{J}}

choli [55]

F = 52000 N

m = 1060 kg

a= F/m = 52000 N/1060 kg = 49.0566 m/s^2

When does sea breeze occur
Vladimir79 [104]
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the uneven  heating rates of water and land. The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the day.  At this rate, the air above the land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or replace the rising warm air.</span>
