Has an Environmental Impact. Perhaps the largest disadvantage of hydroelectric energy is the impact it can have on the environment.
It Displaces People.
It's Expensive.
There are Limited Reservoirs.
There are Droughts.
It's Not Always Safe

Three boxes in contact rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor. Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

(a)Look at the attached graphic

(b)

(b)-1 Equation 1 : m1= 5kg

50-F1= 5 *a

(b)-2 Equation 2 : m2= 3kg

F1-F2= 3 *a

(b)-3 Equation 3 : m3= 2kg

F2 = 2*a

(d) F2 =10 N

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

(a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes

Look at the attached graphic

(b) Write Newton’s equation for each mass along the horizontal direction.

Data: m1= 5.0-kg ,m2= 3.0-kg , ,m3= 2.0-kg

Look m1 free-body diagram:

∑Fx = m1*a

50-F1= 5 *a Equation 1

Look m2 free-body diagram:

∑Fx = m2*a

F1-F2= 3 *a Equation 2

Look m3 free-body diagram:

∑Fx = m3*a

F2 = 2*a Equation 3

(c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0- kg box?

Look Free body diagram of the mass set

∑Fx = m*a m= m1+m2+m3= 5+3+2 = 10 kg

50 = 10*a

a= 50/10 = 5 m/s²

We replace a = 5 m/s² in the equation 1:

50-F1= 5 *5

50-25= F1

F1 = 25 N

(d) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0kg box?

We replace a= 5 m/s² in the equation 3

F2 = 2*5 = 10 N

A student drops two metallic objects into a 120-g steel con- tainer holding 150 g of water at 25°C. One object is a 200-g cube o

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g

Explanation:

Given;

mass of steel container = 120-g

mass of water = 150 g

initial temperature of water, = 25°C

mass of copper cube, $M_{cu}$ = 200 g

initial temperature of the copper cube, $T_c_u$ = 85°C

initial temperature of the aluminum chunk $T_A_l$ = 5.0°C

Neglecting heat loss, heat exchanged by the two metallic objects is the same since initial temperature is equal to final temperature of water.

$M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}$

where;

$C_{AL}$ is specific heat capacity of aluminum

$\delta T_{Al}$ is change in temperature of aluminum

$C_c_u$ is the specific heat capacity of copper

$\delta T_c_u$ is the change in temperature of copper

$M_{Al}C_{Al} \delta T_{Al} = M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{M_{cu}C_{cu} \delta T_{cu}}{C_{Al} \delta T_{Al}} \\\\M_{Al} = \frac{0.2*387*60}{900*20} = 0.258 \ kg$

Therefore, the mass of the aluminum chunk is 258 g

How is it technically correct to say that a car making a u-turn can have a constant speed but cannot have a constant velocity?

saw5 [17]

During the "U" part of the turn, the car would follow an approximately circular path, and if it's moving at a constant speed, it would have to accelerate toward the center of the circle in order to change its direction.
