Answer:

<h3>When the surface area is less the pressure exerted by the object is more. However, when the surface area is large, the points of contact between the object and the pressure. Thus, less pressure is exerted by the body on the surface.</h3><h3 />

A boat has a mass of 7660 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 4080 N due west, while the wind exerts a force of 680 N due

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

0.29 m/s due west.

Explanation:

According to newton's second law,

Net force acting on an object = mass×acceleration

From the question,

F+F₁+F₂ = ma................ Equation 1

Where F = The force generated from the engine, F₁ = Force exerted by the wind, F₂ = Force exerted due to the water, m = mass of the boat, a = acceleration of the boat.

Given: F = 4080 N , F₁ = -680 N(east), F₂ = -1160 N(east). m = 7660 kg

substitute into equation 1

4080-680-1160 = 7660(a)

2240 = 7660a

Therefore,

a = 2440/7660

a = 0.29 m/s due west.

Consider a series RLC circuit where R = 855 Ω and C = 6.25 μF. However, the inductance L of the inductor is unknown. To find its

sashaice [31]

Answer:

L= 0.059 mH

Explanation:

Given that

R = 855 Ω and C = 6.25 μF

V= 84 V

Frequency

ω = 51900 1/s

We know that

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{LC}}$

L=Inductance

C=Capacitance

ω =angular Frequency

ω² L C =1

(51900)² x L x 6.25 x 10⁻⁶ = 1

L= 5.99 x 10⁻⁵ H

L= 0.059 mH

As a quality test of ball bearings, you drop bearings (small metal balls), with zero initial velocity, from a height of 1.94 m i

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the bearings is $0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 1.94 m

Bounced height = 1.48 m

Time interval $t=14.86\times10^{-3}\ s$

Velocity of the ball bearing just before hitting the steel plate

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$9.8\times1.94=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2$

$v=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.94}$

$v=6.166\ m/s$

Negative as it is directed downwards

After bounce back,

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2'$

Put the value into the formula

$9.8\times1.48=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2'$

$v'=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.48}$

$v'=5.38\ m/s$

We need to calculate the average acceleration of the bearings while they are in contact with the plate

Using formula of acceleration

$a=\dfrac{v-v'}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{5.38-(-6.166)}{14.86\times10^{-3}}$

$a=776.98\ m/s^2$

$a=0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

Hence,The average acceleration of the bearings is $0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

Convert the following to relative uncertainties <br>a) 2.70 ± 0.05cm<br>b) 12.02 ± 0.08cm

DENIUS [597]

data which is expressed in form of following way

$a = a_o + \Delta a$

here in above expression

$a_o$ = true value

$\Delta a$ = uncertainty in the value

now the relative uncertainty is given as

$\frac{\Delta a}{a_o}$

now by above formula we can say

a) 2.70 ± 0.05cm

here

True value = 2.70

uncertainty = 0.05

Relative uncertainty = $\frac{0.05}{2.70}$ = 0.0185

b) 12.02 ± 0.08cm

here

True value = 12.02

uncertainty = 0.08

Relative uncertainty = $\frac{0.08}{12.02}$ = 0.00665
