Answer:

a = 3.27 m/s²

T = 275 N

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass m₁ = 42.p0 kg

Mass m₂ = 21.0 kg

Consider both masses to be in a whole system, then:

The acceleration can be determined as:

(m_1+m_2)a = g(m_1-m_2)

Making acceleration the subject in the above formula;

a =\dfrac{g(m_1-m_2)}{(m_1+m_2)}

a =\dfrac{9.8(42.0-21.0)}{(42.0+21.0)}

a =\dfrac{9.8(21.0)}{(63.0)}

a =\dfrac{205.8}{(63.0)}

a = 3.27 m/s²

in the string, the tension is calculated using the formula:

T = \dfrac{2m_1m_2g}{(m_1+m_2)}

T = \dfrac{2(42)(21)(9.81)}{(42+21)}

T = \dfrac{17304.84}{63}

T = 274.68 N

T ≅ 275 N

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$ 3085713685.71

Explanation:

\lambda_0 = Actual wavelength = 700 nm

\lambda = Changed wavelength = 500 nm

Let the wavelength of red color be 700 nm and green be 500 nm

Change in wavelength is

\Delta \lambda=700-500\\\Rightarrow \theta\lambda=200\ nm

We have the relation

\dfrac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda_0}=\dfrac{v}{c}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{\Delta\lambda}{\lambda_0}c\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{200}{700}\times 3\times 10^8\\\Rightarrow v=85714285.7143\ m/s

The speed of the vehicle is 85714285.7143 m/s

\dfrac{85714285.7143\times 3600}{1000}=308571428.571\ km/h

By how much was the car speeding

308571428.571-60=308571368.571\ km/h

The number of 10 km/h in the above speed

308571368.571\times\dfrac{1}{10}=30857136.8571

Cost of the ticket

30857136.8571\times 100=\$ 3085713685.71

The cost of the ticket is $ 3085713685.71

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

It is a law of mechanics and physics discovered by Robert Hooke. This theory of elasticity says the extension of a spring is proportional to the load applied to it. Many materials obey this law as long as the load does not exceed the material's elastic limit.

One peice of evidence that the universe is expanding
AnnyKZ [126]
Who Figured This Out? The American astronomer Edwin Hubble made the observations in 1925 and was the first to prove that the universe is expanding. He proved that there is a direct relationship between the speeds of distant galaxies and their distances from Earth. This is now known as Hubble's Law.

Which process requires more energy: completely vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at 1 atm pressure or completely vaporiz
Lilit [14]
The correct answer would be the first option. The process that would need more energy would be vaporizing 1 kg of saturated liquid water at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. This can be seen from the latent heat of vaporization of each system. For the saturated water at 1 atm, the latent heat is equal to 40.7 kJ per mole while, at 8 atm, the latent heat is equal to 36.4 kJ per mole. The latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat needed in order to vaporize a specific amount of substance without any change in the temperature. As we can observe, more energy is needed by the liquid water at 1 atm.
