kvv77 [185]

Answer:

a) 1.73*10^5 J

b) 3645 N

Explanation:

106 km/h = 106 * 1000/3600 = 29.4 m/s

If KE = PE, then

mgh = 1/2mv²

gh = 1/2v²

h = v²/2g

h = 29.4² / 2 * 9.81

h = 864.36 / 19.62

h = 44.06 m

Loss of energy = mgΔh

E = 780 * 9.81 * (44.06 - 21.5)

E = 7651.8 * 22.56

E = 172624.6 J

Thus, the amount if energy lost is 1.73*10^5 J

Work done = Force * distance

Force = work done / distance

Force = 172624.6 / (21.5/sin27°)

Force = 172624.6 / 47.36

Force = 3645 N

A 320 g air track cart traveling at 1.25 m/s collides with a stationary 270 g cart. What is the speed of the 270 g cart after th
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The speed of the 270g cart after the collision is 0.68m/s

Explanation:

Mass of air track cart (m1) = 320g

Initial velocity (u1) = 1.25m/s

Mass of stationary cart (m2) = 270g

Velocity after collision (V) = m1u1/(m1+m2) = 320×1.25/(320+270) = 400/590 = 0.68m/s

A planet exerts a gravitational force of magnitude 9e22 N on a star. If the planet were 2 times closer to the star (that is, if
Dmitrij [34]

To solve this problem we will use the related concepts in Newtonian laws that describe the force of gravitational attraction. We will use the given value and then we will obtain the proportion of the new force depending on the Radius. From there we will observe how much the force of attraction increases in the new distance.

Planet gravitational force

F_p = 6*10^{22}N

F_p = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

F_p = 9*10^{22}N

Distance between planet and star

r = \frac{R}{2}

Gravitational force is

F = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Applying the new distance,

F = \frac{GMm}{(\frac{R}{2})^2}

F =  4\frac{GMm}{R^2}

Replacing with the previous force,

F = 4F_p

Replacing our values

F= 4(9*10^{22}N)

F = 36*10^{22}N

Therefore the magnitude of the force on the star due to the planet is  36*10^{22}N

Krishna wants to measure the mass and volume of a key. Which tools should she use?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

a balance and a beaker of water

Explanation:

The mass can easily be measured with balance. If you drop the key in a beaker of water, the water inside the beaker will increase and this increases the volume of water that will be equal to volume of key.
