How does newton's second law describe the motion of an object?

2 answers:

7 0

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

V = 20 miles /sec

Explanation:

We have remaining distance = d = 96 miles

Lets call Pascal velocity V in miles per hour

Now if he increases his velocity by 50 % (equivalent to multiply by 1.5 ) he will need a time t₁ to arrive then as V = d/t

1.5* V = d/ t₁ ⇒ 1.5 * V = 96 /t₁

And in the case of reducing his velocity

(V / 4) = d/ (t₁ + 16 ) ⇒ V * (t₁ + 16 ) = 4*d ⇒ V*t₁ + 16*V = 384

So we a 2 equation system with two uknown variables

1.5*V = 96/t₁ (1)

V*t₁ + 16*V = 384 (2)

We solve from equation (1) t₁ = 64/V

And by substitution in equation (2)

V * (64/V) + 16* V = 384

64 + 16 *V = 384 ⇒ 16*V = 320 ⇒ V= 320/16

V = 20 miles /sec

A car has an engine which delivers a constant power. It accelerates from rest at time t = 0, and at t = t0 its acceleration is a

olga2289 [7]

Here is the answer of the given problem above.
Use this formula: P = FV = ma*at = ma^2 t
Substitute the values, and therefore, we got m(a0)^2t = m(x)^2 (2t)
then, solve for x which is the acceleration at 2t.
The answer would be a0/sqrt(2).
Hope this answers your question. Thanks for posting.

Why do some things stick together and others do not?

natita [175]

Answer:

Some examples of things that stick together include clothes after they were in the dryer because a charge builds up on the objects, causing them to attract to each other. Things that don't stick together may include two neutral objects, like two pieces of neutral paper. ... If they repel, then they are the same charge.

Calculate the standard electrode potential difference (e°) of the daniell cell (at 1 bar) if temperature is 473.15 k.

anzhelika [568]

Missing data in the text of the exercise: The molar concentration of Zinc is 10 times the molar concentration of copper.

Solution:

1) First of all, let's calculate the standard electrode potential difference at standard temperature. This is given by:
$E^0=E_{cat}^0-E_{an}^0$
where $E_{cat}^0$ is the standard potential at the cathode, while $E_{an}^0$ is the standard potential at the anode. For a Daniel Cell, at the cathode we have copper: $E_{Cu}^0=+0.34 V$ , while at the anode we have zinc: $E_{Zn}^0=-0.76 V$ . Therefore, at standard temperature the electrode potential difference of the Daniel Cell is
$E^0=+0.34 V-(-0.76 V)=+1.1 V$

2) To calculate $E^0$ at any temperature T, we should use Nerst equation:
$E^0(T)=E^0- \frac{R T}{z F} \ln \frac{[Zn]}{[Cu]}$
where
$R=8.31 J/(K mol)$
$T=473.15 K$ is the temperature in our problem
$z=2$ is the number of electrons transferred in the cell's reaction
$F=9.65\cdot 10^4 C/mol$ is the Faraday's constant
$[Zn]$ and $[Cu]$ are the molar concentrations of zinc and in copper, and in our problem we have $[Zn]=10[Cu]$ .
Using all these data inside the equation, and using $E^0=+1.1 V$ , in the end we find:
$E^0(T)=E^0- \frac{R T}{z F} \ln \frac{[Zn]}{[Cu]}=+1.053 V$
