An object of mass 100 kg is initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. At time t = 0, a horizontal force of 10 N is

applied to the object for 1 s and then removed. Which of the following is true of the object at time t = 2s if it is still on the surface?
(A) It is at the same position it had at t 0, since a force of 10 N is not large enough to move such a massive object.
(B) It is moving with constant nonzero acceleration.
(C) It is moving with decreasing acceleration.
(D) It is moving at a constant speed
(E) It has come to rest some distance away from the position it had att 0.

Answer:

(D) It is moving at a constant speed

Explanation:

Before t = 1s. Due to the force, albeit small, acting on the object, since there's no static friction stopping the object from moving, this mass object would have a constant acceleration and it's velocity would be increasing.

According to Newton's 1st law, an object will stay at a constant speed if the net force acting on it is 0. After t = 1s, horizontally speaking there's no other force exerting on the mass object. There is no friction force at play here as the surface is frictionless.

Therefore the correct statement is (D) It is moving at a constant speed

A 2.5-L tank initially is empty, and we want to fill it with 10 g of ammonia. The ammonia comes from a line with saturated vapor
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

592.92 x 10³ Pa

Explanation:

Mole of ammonia required = 10 g / 17 =0 .588 moles

We shall have to find pressure of .588 moles of ammonia at 30 degree having volume of 2.5 x 10⁻³ m³. We can calculate it as follows .

From the relation

PV = nRT

P x 2.5 x 10⁻³ =  .588 x 8.32 x ( 273 + 30 )

P = 592.92 x 10³ Pa

A 1000kg car is rolling slowly across a level surface at 1 m/s heading twoards a group o fsmall innocent children. The doors are
Degger [83]

Answer:

The force required to push to stop the car is 288.67 N

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 1 m/s

The car and push on the hood at an angle of 30° below horizontal, \theta=30^{\circ}

Distance, d = 2 m

Let F is the force must you push to stop the car.

According work energy theorem theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy as :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)F\times d=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

v = 0

Fd\ cos\theta=\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2)      F=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2)}{d\ cos\theta}F=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1000\times (1)^2}{2\ cos(30)}F = -288.67 N

The force required to push to stop the car is 288.67 N

A projectile has an initial horizontal velocity of 34.0 M/s at the edge of a roof top. Find the horizontal and vertical componen
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

v_x=34 m/s

v_y=53.9\ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch</u>

When an object is thrown horizontally with a speed v from a height h, it describes a curved path ruled by gravity until it eventually hits the ground.

The horizontal component of the velocity is always constant because no acceleration acts in that direction, thus:

vx=v

The vertical component of the velocity changes in time because gravity makes the object fall at increasing speed given by:

v_y=g.t

The horizontal component of the velocity is always the same:

v_x=34 m/s

The vertical component at t=5.5 s is:

v_y=9.8*5.5=53.9

v_y=53.9\ m/s

A 15 kg box is sliding down an incline of 35 degrees. The incline has a coefficient of friction of 0.25. If the box starts at re
valina [46]

The box has 3 forces acting on it:

• its own weight (magnitude <em>w</em>, pointing downward)

• the normal force of the incline on the box (mag. <em>n</em>, pointing upward perpendicular to the incline)

• friction (mag. <em>f</em>, opposing the box's slide down the incline and parallel to the incline)

Decompose each force into components acting parallel or perpendicular to the incline. (Consult the attached free body diagram.) The normal and friction forces are ready to be used, so that just leaves the weight. If we take the direction in which the box is sliding to be the positive parallel direction, then by Newton's second law, we have

• net parallel force:

∑ <em>F</em> = -<em>f</em> + <em>w</em> sin(35°) = <em>m a</em>

• net perpendicular force:

∑<em> F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> cos(35°) = 0

Solve the net perpendicular force equation for the normal force:

<em>n</em> = <em>w</em> cos(35°)

<em>n</em> = (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) cos(35°)

<em>n</em> ≈ 120 N

Solve for the mag. of friction:

<em>f</em> = <em>µ</em> <em>n</em>

<em>f</em> = 0.25 (120 N)

<em>f</em> ≈ 30 N

Solve the net parallel force equation for the acceleration:

-30 N + (15 kg) (9.8 m/s²) sin(35°) = (15 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> ≈ (54.3157 N) / (15 kg)

<em>a</em> ≈ 3.6 m/s²

Now solve for the block's speed <em>v</em> given that it starts at rest, with <em>v</em>₀ = 0, and slides down the incline a distance of ∆<em>x</em> = 3 m:

<em>v</em>² - <em>v</em>₀² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>

<em>v</em>² = 2 (3.6 m/s²) (3 m)

<em>v</em> = √(21.7263 m²/s²)

<em>v</em> ≈ 4.7 m/s
