Explanation:

A perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in the collision.

The weight of the mass added to the hanger is equal to the extra force on the gas, but what area should we use to calculate the

kari74 [83]

Answer: according to the Avagadro's law, volume is directly propotional to no of moles: VXn

according to the Charles law, volume is directly propotional to temperatue: VXT

according to the Boyle's law, volume is inversely propotional to P: VX1/P

when we combine them we get:

VXnT1/P

V=knT/P

k= R(universal gas constant)

V=RnT/P

PV=nRT

Answer:

$F_a=1470\ N$

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When objects are in contact with other objects or rough surfaces, the friction forces appear when we try to move them with respect to each other. The friction forces always have a direction opposite to the intended motion, i.e. if the object is pushed to the right, the friction force is exerted to the left.

There are two blocks, one of 400 kg on a horizontal surface and other of 100 kg on top of it tied to a vertical wall by a string. If we try to push the first block, it will not move freely, because two friction forces appear: one exerted by the surface and the other exerted by the contact between both blocks. Let's call them Fr1 and Fr2 respectively. The block 2 is attached to the wall by a string, so it won't simply move with the block 1.

Please find the free body diagrams in the figure provided below.

The equilibrium condition for the mass 1 is

$\displaystyle F_a-F_{r1}-F_{r2}=m.a=0$

The mass m1 is being pushed by the force Fa so that slipping with the mass m2 barely occurs, thus the system is not moving, and a=0. Solving for Fa

$\displaystyle F_a=F_{r1}+F_{r2}.....[1]$

The mass 2 is tried to be pushed to the right by the friction force Fr2 between them, but the string keeps it fixed in position with the tension T. The equation in the horizontal axis is

$\displaystyle F_{r2}-T=0$

The friction forces are computed by

$\displaystyle F_{r2}=\mu \ N_2=\mu\ m_2\ g$

$\displaystyle F_{r1}=\mu \ N_1=\mu(m_1+m_2)g$

Recall N1 is the reaction of the surface on mass m1 which holds a total mass of m1+m2.

Replacing in [1]

$\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ m_2\ g\ +\mu(m_1+m_2)g$

Simplifying

$\displaystyle F_{a}=\mu \ g(m_1+2\ m_2)$

Plugging in the values

$\displaystyle F_{a}=0.25(9.8)[400+2(100)]$

$\boxed{F_a=1470\ N}$

One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 X 10-???? m3) covers an area of 25.0 m2. What i the thickne s of the fresh paint on the wall?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Volume of paint is $V=3.79\times 10^{-3}\ m^3$

Area of cover $A=25\ m^2$

Suppose paint to be a rectangular box with thickness t and volume V

therefore we can write as

$V=A\times t$

$t=\frac{V}{A}$

$t=\frac{3.79\times 10^{-3}}{25}$

$t=1.516\times 10^{-3}\ m$

$t=1.516\ mm$

When a 25-kg crate is pushed across a frictionless horizontal floor with a force of 200 N, directed 20 below the horizontal, th

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Option E is correct 310N

Explanation:

Given that the force used to push the crate is F = 200N

The force directed 20° below the horizontal

Mass of crate is m = 25kg

Weight of the crate can be determine using

W = mg

g is gravitational constant =9.8m/s²

W = 25×9.8

W = 245 N

Check attachment. For free body diagram and better understanding

Using newton second law along the vertical axis since we want to find the normal force

ΣFy = m•ay

ay = 0, since the body is not moving in the vertical or y direction

N—W—F•Sin20 = 0

N = W+F•Sin20

N = 245+ 200Sin20

N = 245 + 68.4

N = 313.4 N

The normal force is approximately 310 N to the nearest ten

Summarize: Based on what you have learned, how will the sound that the observer hears

Reil [10]

Answer: The sound will change due to changes in frequency and the wavelength of the airplane.

Explanation: Let assume that the observer is at a stationary position. The wavelength of the sound from the airplane reduces and the frequency increases as the plane is moving toward the observer. As the airplane passes by, that is, moving away from the observer, the frequency starts to reduce while the wavelength of the sound starts to increase.

The sound that the observer hears will change base on the illustration above.
