Answer:

(a) m = 33.3 kg

(b) d = 150 m

(c) vf = 30 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's second law to the block:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration (m/s²)

Data

F= 100 N

a= 3.0 m/s²

(a) Calculating of the mass of the block:

We replace dta in the formula (1)

F = m*a

100 = m*3

m = 100 / 3

m = 33.3 kg

Kinematic analysis

Because the block moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formulas:

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t² Formula (2)

vf= v₀+a*t Formula (3)

Where:

d:displacement in meters (m)

t : time interval in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

a= 3.0 m/s²

v₀= 0

t = 10 s

(b) Distance the block will travel if the force is applied for 10 s

We replace dta in the formula (2):

d= v₀t+ (1/2)*a*t²

d = 0+ (1/2)*(3)*(10)²

d =150 m

(c) Calculate the speed of the block after the force has been applied for 10 s

We replace dta in the formula (3):

vf= v₀+a*t

vf= 0+(3*(10)

vf= 30 m/s

If two particles have equal kinetic energies, are their momenta necessarily equal? explain.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

No the given statement is not necessarily true.

Explanation:

We know that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v' is given by

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

Similarly the momentum is given by $m\times v$

For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective kinetic energies is given by

$K.E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}$

$K.E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}$

Similarly For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective momenta are given by

$p_{1}=m_{1}\times v_{1}$

$p_{2}=m_{2}\times v_{2}$

Now since it is given that the two kinetic energies are equal thus we have

$\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}\\\\(m_{1}v_{1})\times v_{1}=(m_{2}v_{2})\times v_{2}\\\\p_{1}\times v_{1}=p_{2}\times v_{2}\\\\\therefore \frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}............(i)$

Thus we infer that the moumenta are not equal since the ratio on right of 'i' is not 1 , and can be 1 only if the velocities of the 2 particles are equal which becomes a special case and not a general case.

The strength of the electric field at a certain distance from a point charge is represented by E. What is the strength of the el

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Using Coulomb's law equation

Force of the charge = k qQ /d²

and E = F/ q

substitute for F

E = ( K Qq/ d² ) / q

q cancel q

E = KQ / d²

so twice the distance of the from the point charge will lead to the E ( electric field ) decrease by a 4 = E/4. E is inversely proportional to d²

The _____ inside the stratosphere blocks ultraviolet radiation. apex

podryga [215]

The ozone layer that is inside the stratosphere blocks UV radiation.

The ozone layer contains high concentrations of ozone relative to other parts of the atmosphere. This was discovered by Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson who are both French Physicists.

The ozone in the earth's stratosphere is created through ultraviolet light striking a group of ordinary oxygen molecules containing two oxygen atoms, subsequently splitting them into individual oxygen atoms and finally these said atomic oxygen then combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone (O3).

Baseball player a bunts the ball by hitting it in such a way that it acquires an initial velocity of 2.4 m/s parallel to the gro

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Let $\mathbf r_A$ denote the position vector of the ball hit by player A. Then this vector has components

$\begin{cases}r_{Ax}=\left(2.4\,\frac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)t\\r_{Ay}=1.2\,\mathrm m-\frac12gt^2\end{cases}$

where $g=9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity. Use the vertical component $r_{Ay}$ to find the time at which ball A reaches the ground:

$1.2\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12\left(9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2=0\implies t=0.49\,\mathrm s$

The horizontal position of the ball after 0.49 seconds is

$\left(2.4\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(0.49\,\mathrm s)=12\,\mathrm m$

So player B wants to apply a velocity such that the ball travels a distance of about 12 meters from where it is hit. The position vector $\mathbf r_B$ of the ball hit by player B has

$\begin{cases}r_{Bx}=v_0t\\r_{By}=1.6\,\mathrm m-\frac12gt^2\end{cases}$

Again, we solve for the time it takes the ball to reach the ground:

$1.6\,\mathrm m-\dfrac12\left(9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2=0\implies t=0.57\,\mathrm s$

After this time, we expect a horizontal displacement of 12 meters, so that $v_0$ satisfies

$v_0(0.57\,\mathrm s)=12\,\mathrm m$

$\implies v_0=21\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}$
