Answer:

If thermal energy is the motion energy of the particles of a substance, which has more thermal energy—the cup of hot tea or a spoonful of hot tea? It makes sense that the more particles of a substance you have, then the more thermal energy the substance has. The cup of hot tea would have more thermal energy, even if the temperature of the tea is the same in the cup and in the spoon. But which cools down the quickest (has the highest rate of thermal energy transfer)—the tea in the cup or the tea in the spoon? If I have fewer particles of the same substance, then the rate of thermal energy transfer is faster. The tea in the spoon would lose thermal energy more rapidly. So the amount of a substance you have is one factor that affects the rate of thermal energy transfer.

A violin string vibrates at 260 Hz when unfingered. At what frequency will it vibrate if it is fingered one fourth of the way do

Advocard [28]

Answer:

346.66 Hz

Explanation:

$l_1$ = Length of string which is unfingered = l

$l_2$ = Length of string which is vibrate when fingered = $l-\dfrac{1}{4}l=\dfrac{3}{4}l$

$f_1$ = Unfingered frequency = 260 Hz

$f_2$ = Fingered frequency

Frequency is inversely proportional to length

$f=\dfrac{1}{l}$

So,

$\dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{l_2}{l_1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}l}{l}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{f_1}{f_2}=\dfrac{3}{4}\\\Rightarrow f_2=\dfrac{4}{3}f_1\\\Rightarrow f_2=\dfrac{4}{3}260\\\Rightarrow f_2=346.66\ Hz$

The frequency of the fingered string is 346.66 Hz

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?

Ludmilka [50]

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

The force of gravity acting<br> on a child's mass on earth is 490 newtons. what's the child's mass?

UNO [17]

F = m • a

What we know:
- Gravity: 9.8 m/s
- Force: 490 N

Equation derived:
m = F/a
m = 490/9.8
= 50 kg

Can someone help me with this question

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Net force: 20 N to the right

mass of the bag: 20.489 kg

acceleration: 0.976 m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the normal force and the weight are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, they add up to zero in the vertical direction. In the horizontal direction, the 195 N tension to the right minus the 175 force of friction to the left render a net force towards the right of magnitude:

195 N - 175 N = 20 N

So net force on the bag is 20 N to the right.

The mass of the bag can be found using the value of the weight force: 201 N:

mass = Weight/g = 201 / 9.81 = 20.489 kg

and the acceleration of the bag can be found as the net force divided by the mass we just found:

acceleration = 20 N / 20.489 kg = 0.976 m/s^2
