You build a 2.0-kg mound of mashed potatoes on a kitchen scale (which is a spring scale). You then use a large spoon to press on

the top of the mound at a constant force of 3.0 N. While you are doing this, the scale reading increases by 5.0%. (a) What is the acceleration of the center of mass of the potatoes? (b) Describe what happens to the shape of the mound and the scale reading as time goes by.

Answer:

a) a=1m/s^2 downwards

b) The mound will be reduced in height (the acceleration is downwards) and will begin to grow sideways. The reading will remain the same until the spoon reaches the scale surface.

Explanation:

On the mound, the forces acting before the spoon are:

N1 - m*g = 0   Where N1 is equivalent to the reading of the scale.

N1 = 2*10 = 20N

After the spoon starts pressing, this value increases by 5%:

N2 = 20*105% = 21N  So, at this point the forces on the moud are:

N2 - m*g - F = m*a   Solving for a:

a = -1m/s^2   This result tells us that the center of mass of the potatoes is moving downwards. Since it cannot move because of the scale, it has no other option than to grow sideways as it is pushed.

Answer:

a= -1.01m/s^2

Explanation:

A) We define all the variables that are given,

In this way

Acceleration = a

m = 2.0Kg

F = 3.0N

We obtain the Normal assuming 5% of the potato reading scale, so

N = (2 + 2 * 5\%) * 9.8

N = 20.58N

We add forces to reach equilibrium, and you get

N-F-mg = ma

** The notation of the symbols is done according to the notation of the graph

So,

a = \frac {N-F-mg} {m}

a = \frac {20.58-3-2 * 9.8} {2}

a = -1.01m / s ^ 2

B) When making pressure it is understood that the shape takes the perpendicular direction of the direction of the force that is performed. If the pressure remains constant, the scale will also increase in its measurement.

Violet light of wavelength 400 nm ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 0.860 eV from sodium metal. What is the bind
Travka [436]

Answer:

Binding Energy = 2.24 eV

Explanation:

First, we need to find the energy of the photon of light:

E = hc/λ

where,

E = Energy of Photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = 400 nm = 4 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(4 x 10⁻⁷ m)

E = (4.97 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)(1 eV/1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

E = 3.1 eV

Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:

E = Binding Energy + Kinetic Energy

Binding Energy = E - Kinetic Energy

Binding Energy = 3.1 eV - 0.86 eV

<u>Binding Energy = 2.24 eV</u>

Problema 1. Un Clavadista se lanza desde un trampolín a diferentes alturas 10 m, 3 m, y 1 m, Calcular:
Salsk061 [2.6K]

La velocidad del buzo es de 7.04 m/s, 8.84 m/s y 2.27 m/s respectivamente.

<h3 /><h3>Velocidad </h3>

La velocidad es la relación entre la distancia total recorrida y el tiempo total empleado. Está dado por:

Velocidad = distancia/tiempo

Para 10m de altura:

  • Velocidad = 10 m/1.42 s = 7.04 m/s

Para 3m de altura:

  • Velocidad = 3 m/0.78 s = 3.84 m/s

Para 1m de altura:

  • Velocidad = 1 m/0.44 s = 2.27 m/s

La velocidad del buzo es de 7.04 m/s, 8.84 m/s y 2.27 m/s respectivamente.

Which of these best explains why people on Earth cannot see the entire shape of the Milky Way
BartSMP [9]
I believe the answer is A.

Since the Earth is in the Milky Way and not outside it, we cannot see the exact shape of it. Physicists have been able to track and graph the movements of the planets accurately for thousands of years, but that does not mean we know the shape of the entire solar system.<span />

If i punch my self and it will hurt am i weak or strong
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

You're strong.

Explanation:

I've been thinking of this for quite a while, and I realized that your body has a certain limit to how much pain it can take. So, punching yourself extremely hard will cause pain, because that's your body's reaction to immense pressure being put on it. But, the fact that you punched yourself so hard that it hurts, shows that you are capable of applying so much pressure; therefore, you are strong.
