Answer:

-50 N

Explanation:

Givens:

V_i = 36 km/h

V_f = 18 km/h

t = 2 s

m = 20 kg

First we have to convert our km/h into m/s:

(36 km*(1000 m/1 km)) / (60 min *(60 s/1 min)) = 10 m/s

(18 km*(1000 m/1 km)) / (60 min *(60 s/1 min)) = 5 m/s

a = (V_f - V_i)/t

a = (5 m/s - 10 m/s) / 2 s

a = -2.5 m/s^2

F = m(a)

F = 20 kg(-2.5 m/s^2)

F = -50 N

It's a negative force meaning its acting on it opposite its current direction of movement.

Which of these statements best describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field?
Sveta_85 [38]
The only statement that makes sense as to which one describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field is the first one - <span>Southern lights are seen at high altitude places like Alaska.
Normally, Southern lights are seen around the South Pole, which means that it is quite odd for them to be seen in Alaska, which is near the North Pole.</span>

Using energy considerations, calculate the average force (in N) a 67.0 kg sprinter exerts backward on the track to accelerate fr
Illusion [34]

Answer:

F_{sprinter}=110.4N

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=67.0 kg

Final Speed vf=8.00 m/s

Initial Speed vi=2.00 m/s

Distance d=25.0 m

Force F=30.0 N

From work-energy theorem we know that the work done equals the change in kinetic energy

W=ΔK=Kf-Ki=1/2mvf²-1/2mvi²

And

W=F_{total}.d

So

W=1/2mv_{f}^2-1/2mv_{i}^2\\F_{total}=\frac{1/2mv_{f}^2-1/2mv_{i}^2}{d} \\F_{total}=\frac{1/2(67.0kg)(8.00m/s)^2-1/2(67.0kg)(2.00m/s)^2}{25.0m} \\F_{total}=80.4N

and we know that the force the sprinter exerted Fsprinter the force of the headwind Fwind=30.0N

So

F_{sprinter}=F_{total}+F_{wind}\\F_{sprinter}=80.4N+30N\\F_{sprinter}=110.4N

An insulated thermos contains 106.0 cm3 of hot coffee at a temperature of 80.0 °C. You put in 11.0 g of ice cube at its melting
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

the final temperature is T f = 64.977 ° C≈ 65°C

Explanation:

Since the thermus is insulated, the heat absorbed by the ice is the heat released by the coffee. Thus:

Q coffee + Q ice = Q surroundings =0 (insulated)

We also know that the ice at its melting point , that is 0 °C ( assuming that the thermus is at atmospheric pressure= 1 atm , and has an insignificant amount of impurities ).

The heat released by coffee is sensible heat : Q = m * c * (T final - T initial)

The heat absorbed by ice is latent heat and sensible heat : Q = m * L + m * c * (T final - T initial)

therefore

m co * c co * (T fco - T ico) + m ice * L + m ice * c wat  * (T fwa - T iwa) = 0

assuming specific heat capacity of coffee is approximately the one of water c co = c wa = 4.186 J/g°C and the density of coffee is the same as water

d co = dw = 1 gr/cm³

therefore m co = d co * V co = 1 gr / cm³ * 106 cm³ = 106 gr

m co * c wat * (T f  - T ico) + m ice * L + m ice * c wat  * (T f - T iwa) = 0

m co * c wat * T f+ m ice * c wat  * T f  = m ice * c wat  * T iwa  + m co * c wat * Tico -m ice * L

T f  = (m ice * c wat  * T iwa  + m co * c wat * Tico -m ice * L ) /( m co * c wat * + m ice * c wat )

replacing values

T f = (11 g * 4.186 J/g°C * 0°C +  106 g * 4.186 J/g°C*80°C - 11 g * 334 J/gr) / ( 11 g * 4.186 J/g°C +  106 g * 4.186 J/g°C* ) = 64,977 ° C

T f = 64.977 ° C
