Answer: The Second Law is also known as "The Law of Force and Acceleration." This relates to the observation that an object experiences an acceleration "a" when acted upon by a force "F" whereby these two are in linear relationship F = ma (with "m" the mass of the object)

Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.

A 50 Ohm resistance causes a current of 5 milliamps to flow through a circuit connected to a battery. What is the power in the c

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:0.00125 watts

Explanation:

resistance=50 ohms

Current=5 milliamps

Current=5/1000 milliamps

Current =0.005 amps

power=(current)^2 x (resistance)

Power=(0.005)^2 x 50

Power=0.005 x 0.005 x 50

Power=0.00125 watts

A pendulum of length L=36.1 cm and mass m=168 g is released from rest when the cord makes an angle of 65.4 degrees with the vert

pychu [463]

(a) -0.211 m

At the beginning the mass is displaced such that the length of the pendulum is L = 36.1 cm and the angle with the vertical is

$\theta=65.4^{\circ}$

The projection of the length of the pendulum along the vertical direction is

$L_y = L cos \theta = (36.1 cm)(cos 65.4^{\circ})=15.0 cm$

the full length of the pendulum when the mass is at the lowest position is

L = 36.1 cm

So the y-displacement of the mass is

$\Delta y = 15.0 cm - 36.1 cm = -21.1 cm = -0.211 m$

(b) 0.347 J

The work done by gravity is equal to the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the mass, which is equal to

$\Delta U = mg \Delta y$

where we have

m = 168 g = 0.168 kg is the mass of the pendulum

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

$\Delta y = 0.211 m$ is the vertical displacement of the pendulum

So, the work done by gravity is

$W=(0.168 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0.211 m)=0.347 J$

And the sign is positive, since the force of gravity (downward) is in the same direction as the vertical displacement of the mass.

(c) Zero

The work done by a force is:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this situation, the tension in the string always points in a radial direction (towards the pivot of the pendulum), while the displacement of the mass is tangential (it follows a circular trajectory): this means that the tension and the displacement are always perpendicular to each other, so in the formula

$\theta=90^{\circ}, cos \theta = 0$

and so the work done is zero.

The density of gold is 19.3. G/cm(3). If a nugget of iron pyrite and nugget of gold each have a mass of 50 g, what can you concl

tangare [24]

The pyrite will be bigger, because its density is much lower.

I <em>do</em> know that the gold's volume will be 2.5906 (With a bunch more numbers after it)

50 divided by 19.3 = 2.5906

Zielflug [23.3K]

There are a few reasons that one teams could win. It depends if the on of the teams has a better grip on the rope or not or maybe one off the teams has more friction between the ground and there shoes. So really it no matter what one of the teams will win.
