'Suppose your hand moves upward by 0.50m while you are throwing the ball. The ball leaves your hand with an upward velocity of 2

0.0 m/s. Find the magnitude of the force (assumed constant) that your hand exerts on the ball. Ignore air resistance.' Now my question is not 'What is the magnitude' but rather: why did I get (roughly) the same answer using F=ma when you were supposed to use the total mechanical energy (W+K1+U1=K2+U2). So I'm more confused about how the 2 formulas are 'related', what the force actually represents in both, when to use what and if there is an actual difference.

The formula F = ma is used when the statement of second law of motion is applied to the problem. If the statement is applied to the problem, The fomula willbe used. If not, use the formula W +  K_{1} +  U_{1} =  K_{2} +  U_{2}

Select the choice that best completes the following sentence. When an axe is used to chop wood, A. the axe blade acts as a wedge
Firdavs [7]
Answer: C
<span>
An axe is a mechanical device with two inclined planes, thick at one end and tapers to a thin edge and when it is used to chop wood, the axe blade acts as a wedge and changes the direction of the input force. When the axe blade penetrates the wood, a portion of the downward force of the blade is changed to sideways forces, which are perpendicular to each external of the blade and the sideways forces cause the wood to split in contrasting directions.</span>

Three guns are aimed at the center of a circle, and each fires a bullet simultaneously. The directions in which they fire are 12
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The unknown mass of the bullet is  m1=3.751x10^{-3} kg

Explanation:

According to Newton's laws of motion, when a net external force acts on a body of mass  <u><em>m</em></u> , it results in change in momentum of the body and is given by:

F=\frac{P}{dt}

Where:

P

is the linear momentum of the body

As a consequence, when there are no external forces acting on the body the total momentum remains conserved i.e.

Given:

m_{2}=5.79x10^{-3}kg  \\m_{3}=5.79x10^{-3}kg\\v_{2}=v_{3}=392 \frac{m}{s}\\

For momentum along the y-direction to be zero, it is achieved when the equal masses are moving at angles of  

θ1=180°, θ2=60°, θ3=-60°

Therefore, from conservation of momentum along x - direction:

m_{1}*v_{1}*cos(180)+m_{2}*v_{2}*cos(60)+m_{3}*v_{3}*cos(-60)=0\\m_{1}*605\frac{m}{s}*cos(180)+5.79x10^{-3}kg *392\frac{m}{s}*cos(60)+5.79x10^{-3}kg*392\frac{m}{s}*cos(-60)=0\\

-m_{1}*605+5.79x10^{-3}kg*196\frac{m}{s}+5.79x10^{-3}kg*196\frac{m}{s}=0\\m_{1}*605kg= 2.26968\frac{kg*m}{s}\\m_{1}=3.75 x10^{-3} kg

Diagnostic ultrasound of frequency 3.82 MHz is used to examine tumors in soft tissue. (a) What is the wavelength in air of such
maxonik [38]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of diagnostic ultrasound, f = 3.82 MHz = 3820 Hz

The speed of the sound in air, v = 343 m/s

(a) We need to find the wavelength in air of such a sound wave. Let it is given by λ₁

i.e. \lambda=\dfrac{v}{\nu}

\lambda_1=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{3820\ Hz}

\lambda_1=0.089\ m

(b) If the speed of sound in tissue is 1650 m/s .

\lambda_2=\dfrac{v}{\nu}

\lambda_2=\dfrac{1650\ m/s}{3820\ Hz}

\lambda_2=0.43\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 24-cm-diameter vertical cylinder is sealed at the top by a frictionless 15 kg piston. The piston is 90 cm above the bottom whe
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

(A) P_i=3249.41\ Pa

(B) V_f=0.3358\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • diameter of the cylinder, d= 0.24\ m
  • mass of piston sealing on the top, m_p=15\ kg
  • initial temperature of the piston, T_i=315+273= 588\ K
  • initial height of piston, h_i=0.9\ m
  • atmospheric pressure on the piston, p_a=1 atm=101325\ Pa

(A)

<u>Initial pressure of gas is the pressure balanced by the weight of piston:</u>

P_i=\frac{m_p.g}{\pi.d^2\div 4}

P_i=\frac{15\times 9.8}{\pi\times (0.24^2\div 4)}

P_i=3249.41\ Pa

<em>Which is gauge pressure because it is measured with respect to the atmospheric pressure.</em>

(B)

Given:

  • Final temperature, T_f=18+273=291\ K

<u>Now, volume of air initially in the cylinder:</u>

V_i=\pi.d.h_i

V_i=\pi\times 0.24\times 0.9

V_i=0.6786\ m^3

Using gas law:

\frac{P_i V_i}{T_i}= \frac{P_f V_f}{T_f} ........................................(1)

<em>∵In every condition of equilibrium the gas pressure will be balanced by the weight of the piston so it is an </em><em>isobaric transition</em><em>.</em>

∴P_i=P_f

<u>Hence eq. (1) is reduced to:</u>

\frac{V_i}{T_i}= \frac{V_f}{T_f}

putting respective values:

\frac{0.6786}{588}= \frac{V_f}{291}

V_f=0.3358\ m

Scientists are expected to share their results by
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Publishing results of research projects in peer-reviewed journals enables the scientific and medical community to evaluate the findings themselves. It also provides instructions so that other researchers can repeat the experiment or build on it to verify and confirm the results.
