For 3 kg mass: F = $\lpha ma,a$ = $\frac{F}{m}$ = $\frac{12N}{3kg}$ = 4 $\lpha m$ / $s^{2}$

For 6 kg mass: F = $\lpha ma,a$ = $\frac{F}{m}$ = $\frac{12N}{6kg}$ = 2 $\lpha m$ / $s^{2}$

Hope this helped, have a great day!~

If a scale on Earth reads 650 N, what is your mass?

OlgaM077 [116]

If the scale reads 650N, then the mass of whoever it is standing on the scale is

(weight) / (gravity) = (650N) / (9.8 m/s²) = 66.3 kilograms .

It's not MY mass, even if I'm the one standing on the scale.
If I stand on a scale and it reads 650 N, the scale is broken.

A bird sits on top of a 639 m tall tower. If it's gravitational potential energy up there is 2033 J, what is its mass?

iris [78.8K]

The mass of the bird is 0.32 kg.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, the energy exhibited by an object at rest due to the influence of gravitational force. So the increase in distance of object from the surface of earth leads to increase in the gravitational potential energy. Thus,

$\text {Gravitational potential energy}=m \times \text { Acceleration } \times \text { Distance of bird from bottom }$

So, as the gravitational potential energy is given as 2033 J and the position of bird placed on the tall tower is 639 m away from the bottom, then the mass (m) of the bird can be found as below.

$m o f \text { bird }=\frac{\text {Gravitational potential energy}}{a \times \text {Distance}}=\frac{2033}{9.8 \times 639}=\frac{2033}{6262.2}$

So, finally we get the bird's mass as,

m of bird = 0.32 kg

A rotating paddle wheel is inserted in a closed pot of water. The stirring action of the paddle wheel heats the water. During th

Answer:

the final energy of the system is 35.5 kJ.

Explanation:

Given;

initial energy of the system, E₁ = 10 kJ

heat transferred to the system, q₁ 30 kJ

Heat lost to the surrounding, q₂ = 5kJ

heat gained by the system, Q = q₁ - q₂ = 30 kJ - 5kJ = 25 kJ

work done on the system, W = 500 J = 0.5 kJ

Apply first law of thermodynamic,

ΔU = Q + W

where;

ΔU is change in internal energy

Q is the heat gained by the system

W is work done on the system

ΔU = 25kJ + 0.5 kJ

ΔU = 25.5 kJ

The final energy of the system is calculated as;

E₂ = E₁ + ΔU

E₂ = 10 kJ + 25.5 kJ

E₂ = 35.5 kJ.

Therefore, the final energy of the system is 35.5 kJ.
