Answer:

P = 33.6 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = forces [N]

m = mass = 14 [kg]

a = acceleration = 6 [m/s²]

F = 14*6\\F = 84 [N]

In the second part of this problem we must find the work done, where the work in physics is known as the product of force by distance, it is important to make it clear that force must be applied in the direction of movement.

W = F*d

where:

W = work [J]

F = force = 84 [N]

d = displaciment = 40 [m]

W = 84*40\\W = 3360 [J]

Finally, the power can be calculated by the relationship between the work performed in a given time interval.

P=W/t\\

where:

P = power [W]

W = work = 3360 [J]

t = time = 100 [s]

Now replacing:

P=3360/100\\P=33.6[W]

The power is given in watts

Before being engulfed, matter that is pulled into a black hole should become very hot and emit _____.
miss Akunina [59]
A black hole is a cosmological object that is created when a massive star comes to the end of its life and collapses under its own gravity. Black holes have massive gravitational fields  that even light cannot escape beyond a certain distance. Before being engulfed, matter that is pulled into a black hole should become very hot and emit electromagnetic radiation.

A cannon at rest fires a 32.5 kg cannonball forward at 388 m/s. After firing, the cannon recoils at 7.42 m/s. What is the mass o
Bond [772]

Answer:

1700 kg

Explanation:

Let’s use conservation of momentum

32.5 * 388 = 7.42 * mc

mc = 1699.46

mc = 1700 kg

A ray of light incident in water strikes the surface separating water from air making an angle of 10 ° with the normal to the su
labwork [276]

Answer:

a

 \theta _2  = 13^o

b

 \theta _1  =32.94^o

c

 \theta_c  =  53.05^o    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The angle of incidence is  \theta_1 =  10^o

    The refractive index of water is  n_1 = 1.3

  Generally Snell's law is mathematically represented as

          n_1 sin(\theta_1) =  n_2 sin(\theta_ 2)

Here n_2 is the refractive index of air with value  n_2 =  1

         \theta_2  is the angle of refraction

So  

        \theta _2  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_1 * sin(\theta _1)}{n_2} ]

=>     \theta _2  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1.3 * sin(10)}{1} ]

=>     \theta _2  = 13^o

Given that the angle should not be greater than \theta _2 =45^o  then the angle of incidence will be

       \theta _1  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2 * sin(\theta _2)}{n_1} ]

=>     \theta _1  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1 * sin(45)}{1.3} ]

=>     \theta _1  =32.94^o

Generally for critical angle is mathematically represented as

        \theta_c  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{n_2}{n_1} ]

=>     \theta_c  =  sin^{-1}[\frac{1}{1.3} ]  

=>     \theta_c  =  53.05^o

Place the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength. ultraviolet light gamma rays radio wav
kvv77 [185]

Answer: gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves

Explanation: We have to explain the ordering we take into account a relationship for electromagnetic wave, which is given by:

c=λ*ν c is the speed of light.  λ and ν are the wavelegth and the frequency of the waves.

Then we also know that the high frequency of these radiation correspond to the gamma ray (10^18 1/s) while the lowest correspond to radio wave (10^8 1/s) so:

The ultraviolet ligth is ranged at frequencies of 10^16 1/s located bewteen gamma and radio radiation.

as large frequency lower wavelength we can order these radiations from short to long wavelengths as follows:

gamma rays < ultraviolet light < radio waves
