A 500 N force accelerates an object at 20 m s-2. What is its mass?
avanturin [10]

<u>Answer</u>: The mass of the object is 25kg.

The given question deals with Newton's second law of motion and its applications.

<u>Explanation:</u> Given force, F=500N

                                 acceleration, a=20 m/s^{2}

  From Newton's 2nd law of motion , we have

                             F=ma where m=mass of the object

                         ⇒500=m×20

                         ⇒m=500/20=25

                 ∴ Mass of the object is 25 kg .

After a plant or animal dies the 14C content decreases with a half-life of 5730 years. If an archaeologist finds an ancient fire
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

age of the site is 15411.75 years old

Explanation:

Given data

plant or animal dies = 14C

time period = 5730 year

carbon = 15.5%

to find out

age (in years) of the ancient site

solution

we know that Final value = Initial value  × 0.5^{n}

here n is half life passed

so for 15.5%

15.5% = 100% of  0.5^{n}

0.155 = 1 × 0.5^{n}

now take log both side

log 0.155 = log  0.5^{n}

n = log 0.155 / log 0.5

n = 2.68966

we know here  5730 years in half life

so for 2.68966 half-lives = 2.68966 × 5730  =  15411.7518

age of the site is 15411.75 years old

A crane lifts a 1,750 kg mass using a steel cable whose mass per unit length is 0.88 kg/m. What is the speed of transverse waves
Sauron [17]

Answer:

139.6m/s

Explanation:

Calculate the tension first, T=m*g

mass(m): 1750kg, gravity(g): 9.8m/s^2

T= 1750*9.8

 =17150N

Then calculate the wave speed using the equation v = √ (T/μ)

v= √(17150N)/(0.88kg/m)

 =139.6m/s

Compute the kinetic energy of a proton (mass 1.67×10−27kg ) using both the nonrelativistic and relativistic expressions for spee
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of proton m=1.67\times10^{-27}\ kg

Speed v= 9.00\times10^{7}\ m/s

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for non relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.67\times10^{-27}\times(9.00\times10^{7})^2

K.E=6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=mc^2(\sqrt{(\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}})}-1)

K.E=1.67\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^{2}\cdot\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{1-\frac{\left(9.00\times10^{7}\right)^{2}}{(3\times10^{8})^{2}}}}-1\right)

K.E=7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s

Hence, The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s
