Answer:

<em>765,000Joules or 765kJ</em>

Explanation:

The Quantity of heat required is expressed as;

Q = (mcΔt)al + (mcΔt)water

m is the mass

c is specific heat capacity

Δt is the change in temperature

Q = (3(900)(90-5)) + (1.5(4200)(90-5))

Q = 2700*85 + 6300*85

Q = (2700+6300)85

Q = 9000*85

<em>Q = 765,000</em>

<em>Hence the amount of energy needed is 765,000Joules or 765kJ</em>

If you push a crate across a factory floor at constant speed in a constant direction, what is the magnitude of the force of fric
poizon [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push

Explanation:

Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force

F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0

So, F - f = 0

Thus, F = f

So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

A lacrosse ball that is thrown straight upwards reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m. At what initial velocity was it thrown? (note
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

The ball is thrown straight upward with initial velocity u

The ball reaches a maximum height of 4.5 m

At the maximum height velocity v = 0

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

We need to find the initial velocity

The best rule to find the initial velocity is <em>v² = u² + 2ah</em>, where v is

the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration of

gravity and h is the height

⇒ v = 0 , h = 4.5 m , a = -9.8 m/s²

⇒ 0 = u² + 2(-9.8)(4.5)

⇒ 0 = u² - 88.2

Add 88.2 to both sides

⇒ 88.2 = u²

Take square root for both sides

⇒ u = 9.39 m/s

<em>The initial velocity was 9.39 m/s</em>

A tow truck exerts a force of 1850 N on a 840 kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

<h2>2.2 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

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

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

a =  \frac{1850}{840}  =  \frac{185}{84} \\   = 2.20238095...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.2 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
