Explanation:

Iron ball sinks in water but not in mercury because of the difference in the density iron used in iron ball. The iron ball has more density than water and less than the mercury.

Hence, Iron ball sinks in water but not in mercury.

Bingel [31]

The horizontal force is m*v²/Lh, where m is the total mass. The vertical force is the total weight (233 + 840)N.

Fx = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 

v = 32.3*2*π*7.5/60 m/s = 25.37 m/s 

The horizontal component of force from the cables is Th + Ti*sin40º and the vertical component of force from the cable is Ta*cos40º 

Thh horizontal and vertical forces must balance each other. First the vertical components: 

233 + 840 = Ti*cos40º 

solve for Ti. (This is the answer to the part b) 

Horizontally 

[(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 = Th + Ti*sin40º 

Solve for Th 

Th = [(233 + 840)/g]*v²/7.5 - Ti*sin40º 

using v and Ti computed above.

a flashlight has a resistance of 2.4 ohms. what voltage is applied by the batteries if the current in the circuit is 2.5A?

Mashcka [7]

E = I R

That means

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

= (2.5 A) x (2.4 ohms)

= 6 volts .

1. What is the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball travelling at a speed of 54 m/s?

Over [174]

Answer:

We conclude that the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.

Explanation:

Given

Mass m = 1.75 kg

Velocity v = 54 m/s

To determine

Kinetic Energy (K.E) = ?

We know that a body can possess energy due to its movement — Kinetic Energy.

Kinetic Energy (K.E) can be determined using the formula

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass (kg)

v is the velocity (m/s)

K.E is the Kinetic Energy (J)

now substituting m = 1.75, and v = 54 in the formula

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}\left(1.75\right)\left(54\right)^2$

$K.E=1458\times 1.75$

$K.E=2551.5$ J

Therefore, the kinetic energy of a 1.75 kg ball traveling at a speed of 54 m/s is 2551.5 J.

A girl coasts down a hill on a sled, reaching level ground at the bottom with a speed of 7.4 m/s. The coefficient of kinetic fri

Amanda [17]

Answer: 62.22 meters

Explanation:

Two solve this, we need to know first how the Sled interact with the snow. While the Sled runs over the snow, the snow opposes to it movement, this is call friction. Frictions creates is a force that goes against any movement and is caused by the interaction between surfaces.

Friction can be calculated using the following equation:

Friction's Force (Ff) = m*N

Where m is the Frictions coficient and N is call Normal, which is a force created by the contact between any weight and a surface. Because the sled is and the surface are totally horizontal, the Normal is equal to the Sled's Weight.

So for this case, we can calculate the Friction's Force:

Ff = 0.045 * 735 N

Ff = 33,07 N

This force will cause a negative acceleration the Sled causing it to slow down and finally stop. To know this accelaration we can use the following equation:

Force (F) = Mass (m) * Accelaration (a)

Looking for the accelaration:

Acceleration (a) = F / M

As a side note:

Mass (M) = F / a (1)

Where we know that F is equal to our Friction Force (Ff) and the Mass for the girl and the Sled can be obtained using the previous equation (1) like this

Girl and sled Mass (M) = 735 N / (9.81 m/s)

M = 74,92 Kg

This is posible, because the Girl and The Sled are aplying a Force on the ground equal to 735 N. The accelartion for their mass is the gravity

Now, with the mass we can found the Accelaration caused by friction:

Acceleration (a) = Ff / M

Accelaration (a) = 33,07 N / 74,92 Kg

a = 0,44 $m/s^{2}$

To know how far the Sled travel we can use the following equation:

$V_{f} ^{2} = V_{0} ^{2} + 2ax$

Where Vf is the Final Velocity, which is when the sled finally stops (Vf = 0), Vo is the Initial Speed of the Sled equal to 7.4 m/s and a is equal to the negative accelaration that causes the friction.

$(0)^{2} = (7.4 m/s)^{2} + 2(-0,44)x$

Searching for x:

$x = \frac{0 - (7.4 m/s)^{2} }{-0.88}$

$x = 62.22 meters$

The girls will run over the snow 62.22 meter until finally stopping
