Help me with this homework

Physics
1 answer:
Aleks [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

4. The reading decreases because part of your weight is applied to the table and the table exerts a matching force on you that acts in the direction opposite to your weight.

Explanation:

When you push on anything, Newtons Third Law comes into effect: "when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction." So pretty much, the table you are putting some of your weight on is taking some of the downward force and in return the scale isn't going to push up with as much force.

I'm not the best at explaining, but im in physics right now and thats somewhat how my teacher explained it.

330 g of water at 55°c are poured into an 855 g aluminum container with an initial temperature of 10°
Olenka [21]
The final temperature of the system is 32.5°
we know,  H = mcT 
where, H = Heat content of the body 
m = Mass,
c = Specific heat
T = Change in temperature
According to to the Principle of Calorimetry 

The net heat remains constant i.e. 
⇒ the heat given by water = heat accepted by the aluminum container.
⇒ 330 x 1 x (45 - T) = 855 x \frac{900}{4200} x (T - 10) 

⇒ 14,850 - 330T = 183.21T  - 1832 

⇒ - 513.21 T = - 16682

or T = 32.5°

Block A is accelerating with Block B at a rate of 0.800 m/s2 along a frictionless surface. It suddenly encounters a surface that
Natalija [7]

Answer:

a=0.6\ m/s^2

Explanation:

The attached figure shows the whole description. Considering the applied force is 100 N.

The acceleration of both blocks A and B, a=0.8\ m/s^2

Firstly calculating the mass m using the second law of motion as :

F = ma

m is the mass

m=\dfrac{F}{a}

m=\dfrac{100\ N}{0.8\ m/s^2}

m = 125 kg

It suddenly encounters a surface that supplies 25.0 N a friction, F' = 25 N

(F-F')=ma

(100-25)=125\times a

a=\dfrac{75}{125}=0.6\ m/s^2

So, the new acceleration of the block is 0.6\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

You observe three carts moving to the left. Cart A moves to the left at nearly constant speed. Cart B moves to the left, gradual
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:cart B

Explanation:

For cart A speed is constant therefore there is no acceleration because acceleration is rate of change of velocity

thus there is no net force

For cart B there is change in velocity in the left direction , so there is net acceleration towards left

Force=mass\times acceleration

so there is net force in the left direction

For cart C there is decrease in velocity i.e. negative acceleration or deceleration . Therefore there is a net force towards right which opposes the motion

Gekata [30.6K]

1,000 watts = 1 kilowatt
2,000 watts = 2 kilowatts
3,000 watts = 3 kilowatts
4,000 watts = 4 kilowatts
<em>5,000 watts = 5 kilowatts</em>

A car start from rest and reached with a speed of 20m/s in 9seconds calculate the acceleration of the car and calculate the disp
Snezhnost [94]

Hi there!

Acceleration:

a = Δv / Δt, so:

a = 20/9 ≈ 2.22 m/s²

Displacement:

We can use the equation Δd = v₀t + 1/2at² to solve. (Initial velocity is 0).

Δd = 1/2at²

Plug in the acceleration and time:

Δd = 1/2(2.22)(9)² ≈ 89.91 m
