What current is used to power the United States power grid?

10. What is the acceleration of a 1000 kg car subject to a 500 N net force?

Simora [160]

Answer:

0.5m/s^2

Explanation:

We can use the formula [ F = ma ] but solve for "a" since that is what we are looking for.

F = ma

F/m = a

We know the net force and mass so substitute those values and simplify.

500/1000 = 0.5m/s^2

Best of Luck!

Consider a uniform horizontal wooden board that acts as a pedestrian bridge. The bridge has a mass of 300 kg and a length of 10

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

F = 2123.33N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the torque applied by the left support, you take into account that the system is at equilibrium. Then, the resultant of the implied torques are zero.

$\Sigma \tau=0$

Next, you calculate the resultant of the torques around the right support, by taking into account that the torques are generated by the center of mass of the wooden, the person and the left support. Furthermore, you take into account that torques in a clockwise direction are negative and in counterclockwise are positive.

Then, you obtain the following formula:

$-\tau_l+\tau_p+\tau_{cm}=0$ (1)

τl: torque produced by the left support

τp: torque produced by the person

τcm: torque produced by the center of mass of the wooden

The torque is given by:

$\tau=Fd$ (2)

F: force applied

d: distance to the pivot of the torque, in this case, distance to the right support.

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1) and take into account that the force applied by the person and the center of mass of the wood are the their weight:

$-Fd_1+W_pd_2+W_{cm}d_3=0\\\\d_1=6.0m\\\\d_2=2.0m\\\\d_3=3.0m\\\\W_p=(200kg)(9.8m/s^2)=1960N\\\\W_{cm}=(300kg)(9.8m/s^2)=2940N$

Where d1, d2 and d3 are distance to the right support.

You solve the equation for F and replace the values of the other parameters:

$F=\frac{W_pd_2+W_d_3}{d_1}=\frac{(1960N)(2.0m)+(2940N)(3.0m)}{6.0m}\\\\F=2123.33N$

The force applied by the left support is 2123.33 N

a car takes 125 ft to brake from 60 to 0 mph. Assume that the acceleration of the Prius is constant while braking. Find how long

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

2.84 seconds

Explanation:

t = ?

distance = 125

Velocity origianal = 60 m/hr = 88 ft/s

AVERAGE velocity = 88/2 = 44 ft/s

44 t = 125

t = 125/44 = 2.84 s

Which classification scheme is based on the brightness of a star as it appears to you in the night sky?

anastassius [24]

The apparent magnitude scale is a classification scheme which is based on the brightness of stars. The range of brightness values is from 1 to 6.
The stars which are the most brightest are ranked as number 1 and also called first magnitude stars, stars which are little dimmer than number 1 are ranked as number 2 and also called second magnitude stars. Similarly the most faintest stars are ranked number 6 and also called as the sixth magnitude stars.

1. why did aristarchus choose the time of a half (quarter) moon to make his measurements for calculating the earth-sun distance?

Stells [14]

In order to make his measurements for determining the Earth-Sun distance, Aristarchus waited for the Moon's phase to be exactly half full while the Sun was still visible in the sky. For this reason, he chose the time of a half (quarter) moon.

<h3 /><h3>How did Aristarchus calculate the distance to the Sun?</h3>

It was now possible for another Greek astronomer, Aristarchus, to attempt to determine the Earth's distance from the Sun after learning the distance to the Moon. Aristarchus discovered that the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun formed a right triangle when they were all equally illuminated. Now that he was aware of the distance between the Earth and the Moon, all he needed to know to calculate the Sun's distance was the current angle between the Moon and the Sun. It was a wonderful argument that was weakened by scant evidence. Aristarchus calculated this angle to be 87 degrees using only his eyes, which was not far off from the actual number of 89.83 degrees. But when there are significant distances involved, even slight inaccuracies might suddenly become significant. His outcome was more than a thousand times off.
