Answer:

We know that Force = mass × acceleration

By substituting the values we get,

30 N = 15 kg × a (where a is acceleration)

Or we can write it as

15 kg × a = 30 N

Transposing 15 to RHS,

a = 30 ÷ 15 m/s²

Therefore, acceleration = 2 m/s²

Just remember when dealing with Newton II (where F=m*a), that F is the net (or resultant) force on the object. 30/15=2m/s

If I work out rotational energy to be 102.2J which equals kg.M/s^2, and I hadn't factored time into it, would that be Joules per

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

0.057 joules is needed to create the total rotational energy each second.

Explanation:

The energy rate is the ratio of total energy to time, which coincides with the definition of power at constant rate:

$\dot W = \frac{\Delta E}{\Delta t}$

$\dot W = \frac{102.2\,J}{\left(30\,min\right)\cdot \left(60\,\frac{s}{min} \right)}$

$\dot W = 0.057\,\frac{J}{s}$

$\dot W = 0.057\,W$

0.057 joules is needed to create the total rotational energy each second.

6–23 an automobile engine consumes fuel at a rate of 22 l/h and delivers 55 kw of power to the wheels. if the fuel has a heating

Anna007 [38]

Explanation & answer:

Given:

Fuel consumption, C = 22 L/h

Specific gravity = 0.8

output power, P = 55 kW

heating value, H = 44,000 kJ/kg

Solution:

Calculate energy intake

E = C*P*H

= (22 L/h) / (3600 s/h) * (1000 mL/L) * (0.8 g/mL) * (44000 kJ/kg)

= (22/3600)*1000*0.8*44000 j/s

= 215111.1 j/s

Calculate output power

P = 55 kW

= 55000 j/s

Efficiency

= output / input

= P/E

=55000 / 215111.1

= 0.2557

= 25.6% to 1 decimal place.

11. A plow pushes 100 kg of snow with 300 N of force. How much is the pile of snow<br> accelerated?

Fed [463]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is an application of Newton's second Law.

Formula

F = m * a

F = 300 N

m = 100 kg

a = ?

F = m * a

300N = 100 kg * a Divide by 100

300N/100kg = a

a = 3 m/sec^2

Which are characteristics of electromagnetic waves?check all that apply.

emmainna [20.7K]

Correct choices are marked in bold:

travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces

travel through space at the speed of light --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light, $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ )

travel only through matter --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum

travel only through space --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter

can bend around objects --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits

move by particles bumping into each other --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved

move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave
