A steel cable lying flat on the floor drags a 20 kg block across a horizontal, frictionless floor. A 100 N force applied to the

cable causes the block to reach a speed of 4.2 m/s in a distance of 2.0 m.
What is the mass of the cable?

Answer:

m_cable = 2,676 kg

Explanation:

For this exercise we must look for the acceleration with the kinematic ce relations

          v² = v₀² + 2 a x

since the block starts from rest, its initial velocity is vo = 0

          a = v² / 2x

          a = 4.2² /(2 2.0)

          a = 4.41 m / s²

now we can use Newton's second law

Note that the mass that the extreme force has to drag is the mass of the block plus the mass of the cable.

          F = (m + m_cable) a

          m_cable  = F / a -m

          m_cable = 100 / 4.41 - 20

          m_cable = 2,676 kg

An electric motor is rated at 900 W. How much force does it apply when moving
brilliants [131]
<h3>Answer:  7.74 newtons</h3>

========================================

Steps Shown:

Work = Force*Displacement

Power = Work/Time

Power = (Force*Displacement)/Time

900 W = (F*1000 m)/(8.6 sec)

900 = (F*1000)/8.6

900*8.6 = 1000F

7740 = 1000F

1000F = 7740

F = 7740/1000

F = 7.74 newtons

Calculate the pressure of water in a well if the depth of the water is 10m​
Kryger [21]

Answer:

P= phg

so:- the height is 10m

density of water 1000 kg/m3

gravity is 9.8m/s2

P=1000 kg/m3*10m*9.8m/s2

=98000Pa

=98KPa

Bumek [7]

No, the density of diamond and graphite would not be the same

Explanation:

What is density?

Density is the amount of substance per unit volume. It is simply mass divided by volume.

Density is greatly influenced by the way substances are packed.

Substances that are well packed will have lower volume for the same amount of matter than another that is poorly packed.

  • The carbon atoms in graphite are poorly packed. They are arranged layers upon layers.
  • Diamond carbon atoms have a cross-linked networked pattern. They are well packed.
  • For the same mass of matter, graphite will take up more space than diamond.

Since:

    Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

 The one that has a lesser volume will have a higher density.

Therefore diamond will have a higher density.
