This question involves the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's third law of motion.

The support force will be "1 pound" for the empty bucket and the support force will be "6 pounds" after pouring water into it.

  • According to the condition of equilibrium, the sum of forces acting on a stationary object must be zero. Hence, the support force of the table will be equal to the total mass of the bucket.
  • According to Newton's Third Law of Motion every action force has an equal but opposite reaction force. Hence, the support force will be a reaction force to the weight of the bucket.

Therefore, the support force in each case will be equal to the total mass of the bucket:

Case 1 (empty bucket):

<u>support force = 1 pound</u>

<u></u>

Case 1 (water poured):

support force = 1 pound + 5 pound

<u>support force = 6 pound</u>

<u></u>

What describes how fast an object is moving and in what direction
Mashcka [7]

Speed is a description of how fast an object moves; velocity is how fast and in what direction it moves. In physics, velocity is speed in a given direction. When we say a car travels at 60 km/h, we are specifying its speed.

16. The energy absorbed in 10minutes by an electrical heater is 1.5 MJ. The supply voltage is 240 V. calculate: a) The current d
dsp73

Answer:

If by 1.5 MJ you mean 1.5E6 Joules then

W = P t    = power X time

W / t = P   power

P = 1.5E6 J / 600 sec = 2500 J / s

P = I V

a) I = 2500 J/s / (240 J/c) = 10.4 C / sec  = 10.4 amps

b) Q = I t = 10.4 C / sec * 300 sec = 3120 Coulombs

c)  E = P * t = 2500 J / sec * 100 hr * 3600 sec / hr = 9.0E8 Joules

kkurt [141]

Answer:

t=0.038s

Explanation:

Project mass m=3.8 kg

Initial speed vi= 0m/s

Final speed vf= 9.3×10³ m/s

Force F=9.3×10⁵N

To find

Time t

Solution

From Newtons second law we know that

∑F=ma

Where m is mass

a is acceleration

We can write this equation as

∑F=m(Δv/Δt)

=m\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}

Rearrange this equation to find time t

So

t=m\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{F}

Substitute the given values

t=3.8kg\frac{9.3*10^3m/s-0}{9.3*10^5N} \\t=0.038s

An object is 50 cm from a converging lens with a focal length of 40 cm . A real image is formed on the other side of the lens, 2
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

d) -4.0

Explanation:

The magnification of a lens is given by

M=-\frac{q}{p}

where

M is the magnification

q is the distance of the image from the lens

p is the distance of the object from the lens

In this problem, we have

p = 50 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

q = 250 cm - 50 cm is the distance of the image from the lens (because the image is 250 cm from the obejct

Also, q is positive since the image is real

So, the magnification is

M=-\frac{200 cm}{50 cm}=-4.0
