Answer:

Mass, m = 26.54kg

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;

Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Where;

  • Fnet is the net force
  • Fapp is the applied force
  • Fg is the force due to gravitation

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Net force, Fnet = 345

Acceleration, a = 3.2m/s²

<u>To find mass;</u>

Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Fnet = ma + mg

Fnet = m(a+g)

m = Fnet/(a+g)

We know that acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8m/s²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

m = 345/(3.2 + 9.8)

m = 345/13

Mass, m = 26.54kg

Estimate the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Europa (one of the moons of Jupiter) given that its mass is 4.9×1022k
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:g=1.97 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

mass of Jupiter is M=4.9\times 10^{22} kg

Density of Jupiter is same as Earth

density\ of\ Earth=density\ of\ Jupiter=5510 kg/m^3

mass=volume\times density

considering Jupiter to be sphere of radius r

M=\frac{4}{3}\times \pi r^3\times \rho

r^3=\frac{3M}{\rho \times 4\pi}

r^3=\frac{3\times 4.9\times 10^{22}}{5510\times 4\pi}

r=(\frac{3\times 4.9\times 10^{22}}{5510\times 4\pi})^{\frac{1}{3}}

r=1.28\times 10^6 m

acceleration due to gravity is given by

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

g=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 4.9\times 10^{22}}{(1.28\times 10^6)^2}

g=1.97 m/s^2

Which of the following changes will always increase the efficiency of a thermodynamic engine? Choose all correct statements.
Ilya [14]

Answer:B,C,D

Explanation:

Thermodynamic  efficiency is given by

\eta =1-\frac{T_C}{T-H}

\eta efficiency can be increased by Keeping _c constant and increasing T_H

Keeping T_H constant and decreasing T_c

by increasing \Delta T=T_H-T_c

by decreasing \frac{T_C}{T_H} ratio

Guitar string has an overall length of 1.22 m and a total mass of 3.5 g before being strung on a guitar. Once it is used on the
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Fundamental frequency= 174.5 hz

Explanation:

We know

fundamental frequency=\frac{velocity}{2 *length}

velocity =\sqrt{\frac{tension}{mass per unit length} }

mass per unit length=\frac{3.5}{1000*1.22}=0.00427\frac{kg}{m}

Now calculating velocity v=\sqrt{\frac{255}{0.00427} }

                                           =244.3\frac{m}{sec}

Distance between two nodes is 0.7 m.

Plugging these values into to calculate frequency

f = \frac{244.3}{2 *0.7} =174.5 hz

A hunter on a frozen, essentially frictionless pond uses a rifle that shoots 4.20g bullets at 965m/s. the mass of the hunter (in
weqwewe [10]

When the gun is fired horizontally :

m = mass of each bullet = 4.20 g = 0.0042 kg

v = velocity of the bullet after fire = 965 m/s

M = mass of the hunter including gun  = 72.5 kg

V = velocity of hunter including gun after fire = ?

V' = velocity of the combination of bullet , gun and hunter before fire = 0 m/s

Using conservation of momentum

m v + M V = (m + M) V'

(0.0042) (965) + (72.5) V = (0.0042 + 72.5) (0)

V = - 0.056 m/s

so recoil velocity comes out to be 0.056 m/s



When the gun is fired at angle 56.0⁰ above the horizontal :

m = mass of each bullet = 4.20 g = 0.0042 kg

v = velocity of the bullet after fire = 965 Cos56 = 539.62 m/s

M = mass of the hunter including gun  = 72.5 kg

V = velocity of hunter including gun after fire = ?

V' = velocity of the combination of bullet , gun and hunter before fire = 0 m/s

Using conservation of momentum

m v + M V = (m + M) V'

(0.0042) (539.62) + (72.5) V = (0.0042 + 72.5) (0)

V = - 0.031 m/s

so recoil velocity comes out to be 0.031 m/s

Scilla [17]
   <span> The boiling point of water at sea level is 100 °C. At higher altitudes, the boiling point of water will be.....
a) higher, because the altitude is greater.
b) lower, because temperatures are lower.
c) the same, because water always boils at 100 °C.
d) higher, because there are fewer water molecules in the air.
==> e) lower, because the atmospheric pressure is lower.
--------------------------
Water boils at a lower temperature on top of a mountain because there is less air pressure on the molecules.
-------------------
I hope this is helpful. </span>
