Answer:

A. & B. Heat energy is needed to convert solid into a liquid because heat energy increases the kinetic energy of the particles. The heat energy that it used to change 1 kg of solid into liquid at atmospheric pressure and at its melting point is called the latent heat of fusion.

A massless string connects a 10.00 kg mass to a 13.00 kg cart which is resting on a frictionless horizontal surface. The mass ha
ch4aika [34]

The cart's acceleration to the right after the mass is released  is determined as 7.54 m/s².

<h3>Acceleration of the cart</h3>

The acceleration of the cart is determined from the net force acting on the mass-cart system.

Upward force = Downward force

ma = mg

13a = 10(9.8)

13a = 98

a = 98/13

a = 7.54 m/s²

Thus, the cart's acceleration to the right after the mass is released  is determined as 7.54 m/s².

A passenger in a helicopter traveling upwards at 15 m/s accidentally drops a package out the window. If it takes 15 seconds to r
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The helicopter was 1103.63 meters high when the package was dropped.

Explanation:

We consider positive speed as a downward movement

y: height (m)

t: time (s)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

Δy = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}gt²

Δy= 15\frac{m}{s}×15 s + \frac{1}{2}×9.81\frac{m}{s^{2} }×(15 s)²

Δy= 1103.63 m

A person is pulling their 20 kg luggage using the luggage handle. The handle is at an angle of 56 degrees above the horizontal.
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  a = 1.99 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

mass = 20 kg

angle = 56°

Force = 71 N

horizontal acceleration = ?

Process

Find the horizontal force

                                           cos Ф = adjacent side / hypotenuse

                                          adjacent side = hypotenuse x cosФ

                                          adjacent side = 71 x cos 56

                                          a.s. = 39.70 N

Newton's second law

                                  F = ma

                                  a = F/m

                                 a = 39.7 / 20

                                  a = 1.99 m/s²
