Answer:

the second law of thermodynamics. that some energy is destroyed in every energy conversion.

Explanation:

According to the second law of thermodynamics, energy conversion is never 100% efficient. Some energy is always lost as it is being converted from one form to the other.

The fact that a steer must eat at least 100 pounds of grain to gain less than 10 pounds of muscle tissue shows that not all the energy taken up from the grain is channelled towards building the muscle tissue. Some energy from the grains are lost on the way according to the second law of thermodynamics.

A student pushes on a 8-kg box with a force of 35 N forward. The force of sliding friction is 10 N backward. What is the acceler
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

(35 N - 10 N)/8kg = 3.125 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula for Force is:

Force = Mass*Acceleration

(Force is equal to Mass times Acceleration)

Since we're told to find the acceleration of the box. We make acceleration the subject of the equation:

Acceleration = Force/Mass

(Acceleration equal to Force divided by Mass)

We know that the force are 35 N forward and 10 N backward, and the weight of the box is 8kg.

= (35 N - 10 N)/8kg

The reason that 35 N minus 10 N is because the 10 N is pushing the box backward.

= 25 N/8kg

= 3.125 m/s^2

Hope it helps :DD

a uniform rod is hung at onen end and is partially submerged in water. If the density of the rod is 5/9 than of wter, find the f
34kurt

Answer:

    \frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} } = 5/9

Explanation:

This is an exercise that we can solve using Archimedes' principle which states that the thrust is equal to the weight of the desalted liquid.

         B = ρ_liquid  g V_liquid

let's write the translational equilibrium condition

         B - W = 0

let's use the definition of density

        ρ_body = m / V_body

        m = ρ_body  V_body

        W = ρ_body  V_body  g

we substitute

          ρ_liquid  g  V_liquid = ρ_body  g  V_body

          \frac{\rho_{body}   }{\rho_{liquid} } } =  \frac{V_{liquid}   }{V_{body} } }

In the problem they indicate that the ratio of densities is 5/9, we write the volume of the bar

          V = A h_bogy

Thus

          \frac{V_{liquid} }{V_{1body} } = \frac{ h_{liquid} }{h_{body} }

we substitute

           5/9 = \frac{h_{liquid} }{ h_{body} }

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 3.0 km/h
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

Speed = 3.0 km/h

Speed of second tugboat = 11 km/h

We need to calculate the speed

v_{1}=\dfrac{3.0\times10^{3}}{3600}

v_{1}=0.833\ m/s

The force F₁is constant acceleration is also a constant.

F_{1}=ma_{1}

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

a_{1}=\dfrac{v}{t}

a_{1}=\dfrac{0.833}{10}

a_{1}=0.083\ m/s^2

Similarly,

F_{2}=ma_{2}

For total force,

F_{3}=F_{2}+F_{1}

ma_{3}=ma_{2}+ma_{1}

The speed of second tugboat is

v=\dfrac{11\times10^{3}}{3600}

v=3.05\ m/s

We need to calculate total acceleration

a_{3}=\dfrac{v}{t}

a_{3}=\dfrac{3.05}{10}

a_{3}=0.305\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the acceleration a₂

0.305=a_{2}+0.083

a_{2}=0.305-0.083

a_{2}=0.222\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the factor of F₁ and F₂

Dividing force F₁ by F₂

\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=\dfrac{m\times0.83}{m\times0.22}

\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=3.7

F_{1}=3.7F_{2}

Hence, The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

What is the final velocity of a body if it is moving with 13 m/s in 300 seconds and its acceleration is 30 m/s 2.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

9013m/s

Explanation:

acceleration= v- u/ t

=> at = v-u

=> v = at + u

=> v =30*300+13

= 9013m/s

The linear momentum of a truck of mass 5000 kg that is moving at a velocity of +30 m/a is ___ kg m/s
miv72 [106K]

Linear momentum of a truck is 1,50,000 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Linear momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. It is a vector quantity, which have a magnitude and a direction.

Linear momentum is a property of an object which is in motion with respect to a reference point (i.e. any object changing its position with respect to the reference point).

It's SI units are kg.m/s

Linear momentum is a vector quantity.

Linear momentum formula (p) = mass × velocity

Given data mass = 5000 kg ; velocity = 30 m/s

P = 5000 × 30

Linear momentum p= 1,50,000 kg.m/s
