Answer:

255N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of barrel = 75kg

Acceleration = 3.4m/s²

Unknown:

Force exerted = ?

Solution:

Force is the product of mass and acceleration according to Newton's second law of motion.

Force = mass x acceleration

Now insert given parameters and solve,

Force = 75 x 3.4 = 255N

The net force on the barrel is the sum of the pulling force (magnitude p, acting upward) and the barrel's weight (mag. w, opposing p ). So by Newton's second law,

∑ F = p - w = m a

p = w + m a

p = m g + m a

p = m (g + a)

p = (75 kg) (9.80 m/s² + 3.4 m/s²)

p = 990 N

4. What is the period of the microwaves in the above question?

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The period of a wave is the time for a particle on a medium to make one complete vibrational cycle. Period, being a time, is measured in units of time such as seconds, hours, days or years. The period of orbit for the Earth around the Sun is approximately 365 days; it takes 365 days for the Earth to complete a cycle.

A hawk is flying horizontally at 18.0 m/s in a straight line, 230 m above the ground. A mouse it has been carrying struggles fre

Lisa [10]

Answer:

a) vd = 47.88 m/s

b) θ = 80.9°

c) t = 6.8 s

Explanation:

In the situation of the problem, you can assume that the trajectory of the hawk and the trajectory of the mouse form a rectangle triangle.

One side of the triangle is the horizontal trajectory of the hawk after 2.00s of flight, the other side of the triangle is the distance traveled by the mouse when it is falling down. And the hypotenuse is the trajectory of the hawk when it is trying to recover the mouse.

(a) In order to calculate the diving speed of the hawk, you first calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle.

One side of the triangle is c1 = (18.0m/s)(2.0s) = 36m

The other side of the triangle is c2 = 230m - 3m = 227 m

Then, the hypotenuse is:

$h=\sqrt{(36m)^2+(227m)^2}=229.83m$ (1)

Next, it is necessary to calculate the falling down time of the mouse, this can be done by using the following formula:

$y=y_o+v_ot+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$ (2)

yo: initial height = 230m

vo: initial vertical speed of the mouse = 0m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = -9.8m/s^2

y: final height of the mouse = 3 m

You replace the values of the parameters in (2) and solve for t:

$3=230-4.9t^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{227}{4.9}}=6.8s$

The hawk traveled during 2.00 second in the horizontal trajectory, hence, the hawk needed 6.8s - 2.0s = 4.8 s to travel the distance equivalent to the hypotenuse to catch the mouse.

You use the value of h and 4.8s to find the diving speed of the hawk:

$v_d=\frac{229.83m}{4.8s}=47.88\frac{m}{s}$

The diving speed of the Hawk is 47.88m/s

(b) The angle is given by:

$\theta=cos^{-1}(\frac{c_1}{h})=cos^{-1}(\frac{36m}{229.83m})=80.9 \°$

Then angle between the horizontal and the trajectory of the Hawk when it is descending is 80.9°

(c) The mouse is falling down during 6.8 s

Irina-Kira [14]

We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.
