If 400 N of force was applied to a rock and it had an acceleration of 20 ms2 , what is the mass of rock?

Physics

1 answer:

Troyanec [42]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The mass of the rock can be found by using the formula

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

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

$m = \frac{400}{20} = \frac{40}{2} \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

A capacitor with initial charge q0 is discharged through a resistor. a) In terms of the time constant τ, how long is required fo

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

It would take $\tau(\ln 9 - \ln 8)$ time for the capacitor to discharge from $q_0$ to $\displaystyle \frac{8}{9} \, q_0$ .

It would take $\tau(\ln 9 - \ln 7)$ time for the capacitor to discharge from $q_0$ to $\displaystyle \frac{7}{9}\, q_0$ .

Note that $\ln 9 = 2\,\ln 3$ , and that $\ln 8 = 3\, \ln 2$ .

Explanation:

In an RC circuit, a capacitor is connected directly to a resistor. Let the time constant of this circuit is $\tau$ , and the initial charge of the capacitor be $q_0$ . Then at time $t$ , the charge stored in the capacitor would be:

$\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ .

$\displaystyle q(t) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) \, q_0 = \frac{8}{9}\, q_0$ .

Apply the equation $\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{8}{9}\, q_0 = q_0 \, e^{-t/\tau}$ .

The goal is to solve for $t$ in terms of $\tau$ . Rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle e^{-t/\tau} = \frac{8}{9}$ .

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$\displaystyle \ln\, e^{-t/\tau} = \ln \frac{8}{9}$ .

$\displaystyle -\frac{t}{\tau} = \ln 8 - \ln 9$ .

$t = - \tau \, \left(\ln 8 - \ln 9\right) = \tau(\ln 9 - \ln 8)$ .

$\displaystyle q(t) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) \, q_0 = \frac{7}{9}\, q_0$ .

Apply the equation $\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{7}{9}\, q_0 = q_0 \, e^{-t/\tau}$ .

The goal is to solve for $t$ in terms of $\tau$ . Rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle e^{-t/\tau} = \frac{7}{9}$ .

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$\displaystyle \ln\, e^{-t/\tau} = \ln \frac{7}{9}$ .

$\displaystyle -\frac{t}{\tau} = \ln 7 - \ln 9$ .

$t = - \tau \, \left(\ln 7 - \ln 9\right) = \tau(\ln 9 - \ln 7)$ .

Define couple and give 2 examples

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Two equal and opposite parallel forces not acting along the same line, form a couple. A couple is always needed to produce the rotation.

For example, turning a key in a lock and turning a steering wheel.
