An object is at rest. There are several forces acting on the object, but the net force is zero. If all the

1 answer:

3 0

It would not. Imagine four forces equal in magnitude but opposite in direction (e.g. north, east, south, and west). If these forces were to double in magnitude they would still have the same magnitude, meaning the net force is still equal to zero.

In a novel from 1866 the author describes a spaceship that is blasted out of a cannon with a speed of about 11.000 m/s. The spac

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

$a=0.284\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Initially, the spaceship was at rest, u = 0

Final velocity of the spaceship, v = 11 m/s

Distance accelerated by the spaceship, d = 213 m

We need to find the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during the launch. It is a concept based on the equation of kinematics. Using the third equation of motion to find acceleration.

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}\\\\a=\dfrac{(11)^2-(0)^2}{2\times 213}\\\\a=0.284\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship is $0.284\ m/s^2$ .

A student measured the pH of four solutions. Which pH indicates the highest hydronium ion concentration? 3.2 7.0 9.1 12.4

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: 3.2

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$pH=log\frac {1}{H_3O^+}$

Thus as pH and $H^+$ are inversely related, a solution having lower pH will have more amount of $H^+$ concentration. And a solution having more pH will have less amount of $H^+$ concentration.

Thus the solution with lowest pH of 3.2 will have highest hydronium ion concentration.

Equal amounts of heat are added to equal masses of ice and copper at the same initial temperature. Which substance will have the

pychu [463]

One of the major effects of heat transfer is temperature change: heating increases the temperature while cooling decreases it. We assume that there is no phase change and that no work is done on or by the system. Experiments show that the transferred heat depends on three factors—the change in temperature, the mass of the system, and the substance and phase of the substance.

Figure a shows a copper-colored cylinder of mass m and temperature change delta T. The heat Q, shown as a wavy rightward horizontal arrow, is transferred to the cylinder from the left. To the right of this image is a similar image, except that the heat transferred Q prime is twice the heat Q. The temperature change of this second cylinder, which is also labeled m, is two delta T. This cylinder is surrounded by small black wavy lines radiating outward. Figure b shows the same two cylinders as in Figure a. The left cylinder is labeled m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing at it from the left that is labeled Q. The right cylinder is labeled two m and delta T and has a wavy heat arrow pointing to it from the left labeled Q prime equals two Q. Figure c shows the same copper cylinder of mass m and with temperature change delta T, with heat Q being transferred to it. To the right of this cylinder, Q prime equals ten point eight times Q is being transferred to another cylinder filled with water whose mass and change in temperature are the same as that of the copper cylinder.

At one point in space, the electric potential energy of a 15 nC charge is 42 μJ . Part A) What is the electric potential at this

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Part A:

$\rm 2.8\times 10^3\ Volts.$

Part B:

$\rm 5.6\times 10^{-5}\ J.$

Explanation:

Part A:

Potential energy of charge at the given point, $\rm U=42\ \mu J=42\times 10^{-6}\ J.$

Charge, $\rm q=15\ nC = 15\times 10^{-9}\ C.$

The potential energy at a point due to a charge is defined as

$\rm U=qV$ .

where,

V = electric potential at that point.

Therefore,

$\rm V=\dfrac{U}{q}=\dfrac{42\times 10^{-6}}{15\times 10^{-9}}=2.8\times 10^3\ Volts.$

Part B:

Now, if the charge at that point is replaced with $\rm q_1 = 20\ nC = 20\times 10^{-9}\ C.$ , then the electric potential energy at that point is given by

$\rm U=q_1V = 20\times 10^{-9}\times 2.8\times 10^3=5.6\times 10^{-5}\ J.$
