A pulled tablecloth exerts a frictional force of 0.6 n on a plate with a mass of 0.4 kg. what is the acceleration of the plate?

Physics
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
6 0
The formula for acceleration is a = F/m; Where: F = force; m = mass
Given: F = .6n; m = .4kg; a = ?
a = F/m
  = .6/.4
  = 1.5

Therefore, the acceleration of the plate is 1.5 m/s^2

A satellite circles the earth in an orbit whose radius is six times the earth's radius. The earth's mass is 5.98 1024 kg, and it
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The period of the satellite is 12.05 s.

Explanation:

The period of the satellite can be determined by;

T = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi ^{2} r^{2}  }{GM} }

where: T is the period, r is the radius of the orbit, G is the gravitation constant and M is the mass of the Earth.

Given that: r = 6 x (6.38 x 10^{6}) = 38.28 x 10^{6} m, M = 5.98 x  10^{24} kg, G = 6.673 x 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/ kg^{2}.

Therefore,

T = \sqrt{\frac{4*(\frac{22}{7} )^{2} (38.28*10^{6}) ^{2}  }{6.673*10^{-11} *5.98*10^{24} } }

  = \sqrt{\frac{5.79*10^{16} }{3.99*10^{14} } }

  = \sqrt{145.113}

  = 12.0463

T = 12.05 s

The period of the satellite is 12.05 s.

An inductor is connected to the terminals of a battery that has an emf of 12.0 V and negligible internal resistance. The current
algol13

Answer:

R = 2481 Ω  

L= 1.67 H

Explanation:

(a) We have an inductor L which has an internal resistance of R. The inductor is connected to a battery with an emf of E = 12.0 V. So this circuit is equivalent to a simple RL circuit. It is given that the current is 4.86 mA at 0.725 ms after the connection is completed and is 6.45 mA after a long time. First we need to find the resistance of the inductor. The current flowing in an RL circuit is given by

i = E/R(1 -e^(-R/L)*t)                                                   (1)

at t --> ∞ the current is the maximum, that is,  

i_max = E/R

solve for R and substitute to get,  

R=  E/i_max

R = 2481 Ω  

(b) To find the inductance we will use i(t = 0.940 ms) = 4.86 mA, solve (1) for L as,  

Rt/L = - In (1  - i/i_max )

Or,  

L = - Rt/In (1  - i/i_max )

substitute with the givens to get,

L = -(2481 Si) (9.40 x 10-4 s)/ In (1  - 4.86/6.45 )  

L= 1.67 H

<u><em>error maybe in calculation but method is correct</em></u>

Explain why it is easier to climb a mountain on a zigzag path rather than one straight up the side.
GaryK [48]
Although a zig zag pattern going up a mountain means you walk further, the incline of the slope is a lot less so you don't have to work as hard.

Rita jeptoo of kenya was the first female finisher in the 110th boston marathon. she ran the first 10.0 km in a time of 0.5689 h
stira [4]

Part a

Answer: 17.58 km/h

Average speed=\frac{Total\hspace{1mm}Distance}{Total\hspace{1mm}Time}

Total Distance =10 km

Total time =0.5689 h

\Rightarrow Average speed=\frac{10\hspace{1mm}km}{0.5689\hspace{1mm}h}=17.6 \hspace{1mm}km/h

Part b

Answer: 17.626 km/h

Average speed=\frac{Total\hspace{1mm}Distance}{Total\hspace{1mm}Time}

Total Distance =42.195 km

Total time =2.3939 h

\Rightarrow Average speed=\frac{42.195\hspace{1mm}km}{2.3939\hspace{1mm}h}=17.626\hspace{1mm}km/h
