A car is stopped for a traffic signal. When the light turns green, the car accelerates, increasing its speed from 0 to 5.40 m/s
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

a) 378Ns

b) 477.27N

Explanation:

Impulse is the defined as the product of the applied force and time taken. This is expressed according to the formula

I = Ft = m(v-u)

m is the mass = 70kg

v is the final velocity = 5.4m/s

u is the initial velocity = 0m/s

Get the impulse

I = m(v-u)

I = 70(5.4-0)

I = 70(5.4)

I = 378Ns

b) Average total force is expressed as

F = ma (Newton's second law)

F = m(v-u)/t

F = 378/0.792

F = 477.27N

Hence the average total force experienced by a 70.0-kg passenger in the car during the time the car accelerates is 477.27N

a mass of 1.00 kg of water at temperature T is poured from a height of 0.100 km into a vessel containing water of the same tempe
Mariana [72]

Answer:

1.34352 kg

Explanation:

m_w = Mass of water falling = 1 kg

h = Height of fall = 0.1 km

\Delta T = Change in temperature = 0.1

c = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg K

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m_v = Mass of water in the vessel

Here the potential energy will balance the internal energy

m_wgh=m_wc\Delta T+m_vc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh-m_wc\Delta T}{c\Delta T}\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh}{c\Delta T}-m_w\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{1\times 9.81\times 100}{4186\times 0.1}-1\\\Rightarrow m_v=1.34352\ kg

Mass of the water in the vessel is 1.34352 kg
