Answer:

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 5 × 2.5

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Linh builds a circuit from the diagram shown. Which bulb could Linh remove from the circuit to make all of the other bulbs stop

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order for the current to continue flowing through the circuit (and for the bulbs to continue shining), there must be a closed path containing the battery where current can flow. Let's see the effect of removing each bulb on the circuit:

- 1: when removing bulb 1 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 2: when removing bulb 2 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 3- bulb 4

- 3: when removing bulb 3 only, the current can still flow through the path battery-bulb 1-bulb 2- bulb 4

- 4: when removing bulb 4 only, the current can no longer flow. In fact, there is no closed path that contains the battery now, so the current will not flow and all the bulbs will stop shining.

A 1.1 kg ball is attached to a ceiling by a 2.16 m long string. The height of the room is 5.97 m . The acceleration of gravity i

nydimaria [60]

1. -23.2 J

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

where

m = 1.1 kg is the mass of the ball

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the ball, relative to the reference point chosen

In this part of the problem, the reference point is the ceiling. So, the ball is located 2.16 m below the ceiling: therefore, the heigth is

h = -2.16 m

And the gravitational potential energy is

$U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(-2.16 m)=-23.2 J$

2. 41.1 J

Again, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

In this part of the problem, the reference point is the floor.

The height of the ball relative to the floor is equal to the height of the floor minus the length of the string:

h = 5.97 m - 2.16 m = 3.81 m

And so the gravitational potential energy of the ball relative to the floor is

$U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(3.81 m)=41.1 J$

3. 0 J

As before, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is given by

$U=mgh$

Here the reference point is a point at the same elevation of the ball.

This means that the heigth of the ball relative to that point is zero:

h = 0 m

And so the gravitational potential energy is

$U=(1.1 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(0 m)=0 J$

A 21.7kg child descends a slide 3.5 m high and reaches the bottom with a speed of 2.2m/s. How much thermal energy due to frictio

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Subtract the kinetic energy at the bottom from the potential energy loss. The remainder becomes frictional heat.

Potential energy loss:

M g H = 21.7*9.81*3.5 = 745.1 J

Kinetic energy at bottom of slide:

= (1/2) M v^2 = 52.5 J

If one bullet is dropped from a certain height and another is fired from a gun horizontally from the same height which one will

Zinaida [17]

If the ground is flat, and both bullets are released at the same time from the same height, then they both hit the ground at the same time.

The horizontal motion of the one from the gun has no effect on its vertical motion.
