Let there be light! At the flick of a switch, a light bulb can light or illuminate an entire room, but what else is happening? One the basic laws of physics, the conservation of energy, tells us that energy is neither created nor destroyed: rather, it can only be transformed from one form to another. In the case of the light bulb, electrical energy is being transformed into light and thermal (heat) energy. Different wattages and types of bulbs give off varying amounts of light and heat. In this light bulb science project, we'll be working with incandescent and compact fluorescent lamp bulbs (CFL’s).

How much net force is required to accelerate a 2000 kg car at 3.00 m/s^2

andrezito [222]

The net force required to accelerate a car is 6000 N.

Force is defined as the product of the mass and acceleration of the body. Force is used to changing the velocity that is to accelerate an object or a body of a particular mass. The unit of Force is Newton or kg m/s^2.

The formula used to calculate the net force is :

F = ma

where, F = Force

m = mass = 2000 kg

a = acceleration = 3.00 m/s^2

∴ F = 2000*3

F = 6000 N

Thus, to accelerate the car at 3.00 m/s^2 of mass 2000 kg net force required is 6000 N.

A bolt is dropped from a bridge under construction, falling 94 m to the valley below the bridge. (a) how much time does it take

gregori [183]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

When the bolt is dropped at a height of 94 m, its initial velocity, V, is zero.
The last 26% of its fall is at a height of 0.26*94 = 24.4 m.
At that time, the bolt has fallen by 94 - 24.4 = 69.56 m.

The time, t, for the bolt to fall a known distance obeys the equation
s = Vt + (1/2)gt²,
where
s = 69.56 m, vertical distance traveled, and
g = acceleration due to gravity.

Therefore
69.56 = 0 + (1/2)*9.8*t²
t² = (69.56*2)/9.8
t = 3.7677 s

The total time, T, to fall 94 m is given by
94 = (1/2)*9.8*T^2
T² = 19.1837
T = 4.38 s

The time taken to pass through the last 26% of its fall is
T - t = 4.38 - 3.7677 = 0.6122 s

The speed after falling 69.56 m is given by
V₁ = 0 + g*t = 36.9235 m/s

The speed with which the bolt strikes the ground is given by
V₂ = 0 +g*T = 9.8*4.38 = 42.924 m/s

Answer:
(a) The bolt takes 0.6122 s to pass through the last 26% of its fall.
(b) When the bolt begins the last 26% of its fall, its speed is 36.92 m/s (nearest hundredth).
(c) Just before it strikes the ground, the speed of the bolt is 42.94 m/s (nearest hundredth).

. A newly discovered planet has three times the mass and five times the radius of Earth. What is the ratio of the acceleration d

NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.12

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity of a planet with mass M and radius R is given as:

g = (G*M) / R²

Where G is gravitational constant.

The mass of the planet M = 3 times the mass of earth = 3 * 5.972 * 10^24 kg

The radius of the planet R = 5 times the radius of earth = 5 * 6.371 * 10^6 m

Therefore:

g(planet) = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 3 * 5.972 * 10^24) / (5 * 6.371 * 10^6)²

g(planet) = 1.18 m/s²

Therefore ratio of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(planet) to acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(earth) is:

g(planet)/g(earth) = 1.18/9.8 = 0.12
