Answer:

10N

Explanation:

1. Every Action has an equal and opposite reAction.

2. If 10N of force is acted upon an wrench, then the wrench will react with an equal amount of force, but in the opposite direction.

Answer:

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Using the strap at an angle of 31° above the horizontal, a Grade 12 Physics student, tired from studying, is dragging his 15 kg school bag across the floor at a constant velocity. (a) If the force of tension in the strap is 51 N, what is the normal force.

Check the diagram related to the question in the attachment below for better understanding.

The normal force is the reaction acting perpendicular to the force of tension in the strap and opposite the weight of the bag. They are the forces acting along the vertical.

The normal force N will be the sum of the force of tension acting along the vertical (Ty) and the weight of the bag (W).

Ty = 15sin31°

Ty = 7.73N

W = mass * acceleration due to gravity

W = 15.0*9.8

W = 147N

The normal force is therefore expressed as;

N = Ty + W

N = 7.73 + 147

N = 154.73N

Answer:

a) 6738.27 J

b) 61.908 J

c) $\frac{4492.18}{v_{car} ^{2} }$

Explanation:

The complete question is

A flywheel is a mechanical device used to store rotational kinetic energy for later use. Consider a flywheel in the form of a uniform solid cylinder rotating around its axis, with moment of inertia I = 1/2 mr2.

Part (a) If such a flywheel of radius r1 = 1.1 m and mass m1 = 11 kg can spin at a maximum speed of v = 35 m/s at its rim, calculate the maximum amount of energy, in joules, that this flywheel can store?

Part (b) Consider a scenario in which the flywheel described in part (a) (r1 = 1.1 m, mass m1 = 11 kg, v = 35 m/s at the rim) is spinning freely at its maximum speed, when a second flywheel of radius r2 = 2.8 m and mass m2 = 16 kg is coaxially dropped from rest onto it and sticks to it, so that they then rotate together as a single body. Calculate the energy, in joules, that is now stored in the wheel?

Part (c) Return now to the flywheel of part (a), with mass m1, radius r1, and speed v at its rim. Imagine the flywheel delivers one third of its stored kinetic energy to car, initially at rest, leaving it with a speed vcar. Enter an expression for the mass of the car, in terms of the quantities defined here.

moment of inertia is given as

$I$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ $mr^{2}$

where m is the mass of the flywheel,

and r is the radius of the flywheel

for the flywheel with radius 1.1 m

and mass 11 kg

moment of inertia will be

$I$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ $*11*1.1^{2}$ = 6.655 kg-m^2

The maximum speed of the flywheel = 35 m/s

we know that v = ωr

where v is the linear speed = 35 m/s

ω = angular speed

r = radius

therefore,

ω = v/r = 35/1.1 = 31.82 rad/s

maximum rotational energy of the flywheel will be

E = $Iw^{2}$ = 6.655 x $31.82^{2}$ = 6738.27 J

b) second flywheel has

radius = 2.8 m

mass = 16 kg

moment of inertia is

$I$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ $mr^{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ $*16*2.8^{2}$ = 62.72 kg-m^2

According to conservation of angular momentum, the total initial angular momentum of the first flywheel, must be equal to the total final angular momentum of the combination two flywheels

for the first flywheel, rotational momentum = $Iw$ = 6.655 x 31.82 = 211.76 kg-m^2-rad/s

for their combination, the rotational momentum is

$(I_{1} +I_{2} )w$

where the subscripts 1 and 2 indicates the values first and second flywheels

$(I_{1} +I_{2} )w$ = (6.655 + 62.72)ω

where ω here is their final angular momentum together

==> 69.375ω

Equating the two rotational momenta, we have

211.76 = 69.375ω

ω = 211.76/69.375 = 3.05 rad/s

Therefore, the energy stored in the first flywheel in this situation is

E = $Iw^{2}$ = 6.655 x $3.05^{2}$ = 61.908 J

c) one third of the initial energy of the flywheel is

6738.27/3 = 2246.09 J

For the car, the kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2}mv_{car} ^{2}$

where m is the mass of the car

$v_{car}$ is the velocity of the car

Equating the energy

2246.09 = $\frac{1}{2}mv_{car} ^{2}$

making m the subject of the formula

mass of the car m = $\frac{4492.18}{v_{car} ^{2} }$

Which jovian planet should have the most extreme seasonal changes? a. Saturn b. Neptune c. Jupiter d. Uranus

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

D). Uranus.

Explanation:

Jovian planets are described as the planets which are giant balls of gases and located farthest from the sun which primarily include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

As per the question, 'Uranus' is the jovian planet that would have the most extreme seasonal changes as its tilted axis leads each season to last for about 1/4 part of its 84 years orbit. The strong tilted axis encourages extreme changes in the season on Uranus. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
