The whale shark the largest of fish and can have the mass of three adult elephants. Suppose that a crane is whale shark into a t

ank for delivery to an aquariumThe crane must exert an unbalanced force of 2.5 * 10 ^ 4 to lift the shark from rest. If the shark's acceleration equals 1.25 m/s ^ 2 , what is the shark's mass?

Answer:

Mass, m = 20000 kg

Explanation:

The force acting on the shark, F=2.5\times 10^4\ N

Acceleration of the shark, a = 1.25 m/s²

We need to find the mass of the Shark. The force acting on an object is given by :

F = ma

m is the shark's mass

So,

m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^4}{1.25}\\\\m=20000\ kg

So, the mass of the Shark is 20000 kg.

5. What is the velocity of a 0.5 kg ball that has a momentum of 3.00 kg m/s?
kow [346]

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

p=mv

p=3 kg.m/s

m=0.5 kg

rearrange and substitute to find v:

(3)=(0.5)v

v=3/0.5

v=6 m/s

Water in a tank which is positioned 5 feet above the ground is _____ potential energy? (answers would be like thermal, electric,
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Mechanical

Explanation:

The tank is at rest. And energy of any substance at rest is known as potential energy.

Now, in forms of energy, potential energy is a type of mechanical energy.

Thus, the correct option is mechanical Energy.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

A. attracted to the negative terminal of the voltage source.

Explanation:

When an electron is displaced in a semiconductor, the hole that's left behind is

A. attracted to the negative terminal of the voltage source.

The electron leaving leaves a net + charge, which is attracted to the negative terminal.

Show that the Mass spring system executes simple harmonic motion(SHM)?​
murzikaleks [220]

Explanation:

Show that the motion of a mass attached to the end of a spring is SHM

Consider a mass "m" attached to the end of an elastic spring. The other end of the spring is fixed

at the a firm support as shown in figure "a". The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface.

If we displace the mass 'm' from its mean position 'O' to point "a" by applying an external force, it is displaced by '+x' to its right, there will be elastic restring force on the mass equal to F in the left side which is applied by the spring.

According to "Hook's Law

F = - Kx ---- (1)

Negative sign indicates that the elastic restoring force is opposite to the displacement.

Where K= Spring Constant

If we release mass 'm' at point 'a', it moves forward to ' O'. At point ' O' it will not stop but moves forward towards point "b" due to inertia and covers the same displacement -x. At point 'b' once again elastic restoring force 'F' acts upon it but now in the right side. In this way it continues its motion

from a to b and then b to a.

According to Newton's 2nd law of motion, force 'F' produces acceleration 'a' in the body which is given by

F = ma ---- (2)

Comparing equation (1) & (2)

ma = -kx

Here k/m is constant term, therefore ,

a = - (Constant)x

or

a a -x

This relation indicates that the acceleration of body attached to the end elastic spring is directly proportional to its displacement. Therefore its motion is Simple Harmonic Motion.
