A student pulls horizontally on a block with a spring scale. The block reads 24.5 Newtons before the block starts to move. It reads 23.7 Newtons as she pulls the block at a constant velocity. How should she explain this?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The coefficient of friction causes the force on the object to be less than its initial reading on the spring scale.

Explanation:

Since the block reads 24.5 N before the block starts to move, this is its weight. Now, when the block starts to move at a constant velocity, it experiences a frictional force which is equal to the force with which the student pulls.

Now, since the velocity is constant so, there is no acceleration and thus, the net force is zero.

Let F = force applied and f = frictional force = μN = μW where μ = coefficient of friction and N = normal force. The normal force also equals the weight of the object W.

Now, since F - f = ma and a = 0 where a = acceleration and m = mass of block,

F - f = m(0) = 0

F - f = 0

F = f

Since the force applied equals the frictional force, we have that

F =  μW and F = 23.7 N and W = 24.5 N

So, 23.7 N = μ(24.5 N)

μ = 23.7 N/24.5 N

μ = 0.97

Since μ = 0.97 < 1, the coefficient of friction causes the force on the object to be less than its initial reading on the spring scale.

12. How many grams of beryllium are needed to produce 36.0 g of hydrogen? (Assume an excess of water.)
Be(s) + 2H, O() → Be(OH)2 (aq) +H,(g)
a
4.00 g
b. 36.0 g
c. 162 g
d 324 g

Answers

Answer:

Answer is: 162 g of beryllium.

Chemical reaction: Be + 2H₂O → Be(OH)₂ + H₂.

m(H₂) = 36,0 g.

m(Be) = ?

n(H₂) = m(H₂) ÷ M(H₂)

n(H₂) = 36,0 g ÷ 2 g/mol = 18 mol.

from reaction: n(Be) : n(H₂) = 1 : 1.

n(Be) = n(H₂) = 18 mol.

m(Be) = n(Be) · M(Be).

n(Be) = 18 mol · 9 g/mol = 162 g.

Answer:

Answer is: 162 g of beryllium.

Chemical reaction: Be + 2H₂O → Be(OH)₂ + H₂.

m(H₂) = 36,0 g.

m(Be) = ?

n(H₂) = m(H₂) ÷ M(H₂)

n(H₂) = 36,0 g ÷ 2 g/mol = 18 mol.

from reaction: n(Be) : n(H₂) = 1 : 1.

n(Be) = n(H₂) = 18 mol.

m(Be) = n(Be) · M(Be).

n(Be) = 18 mol · 9 g/mol = 162 g.

A 10 N force and an 18 N force act in the same direction on an object. What is the net force on the object?

Answers

Answer:

28 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, we were told that 10 N force and 18 N force act in the same direction on the object.

The net force acting on the object can be obtained by simply adding both forces together since they both act on the object in the same direction. This is illustrated below:

Force 1 (F₁) = 10 N

Force 2 (F₂) = 18 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = F₁ + F₂ (since they both act in the same direction)

Fₙ = 10 + 18

Fₙ = 28 N

Therefore, the net force acting on the object is 28 N.

A fireboat is to fight fires at coastal areas by drawing seawater with a density of 1030 kg/m3 through a 10-cm-diameter pipe at a rate of 0.04 m3/s and discharging it through a hose nozzle with an exit diameter of 5 cm. The total irreversible head loss of the system is 3 m, and the position of the nozzle is 3 m above sea level. For a pump efficiency of 70 percent, determine the required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity.

Answers

Answer:

50.93 m/s

199.5 kW

Explanation:

From the question, the nozzle exit diameter = 5 cm, Radius= diameter/2= 5cm/2= 2.5cm. we can convert it to metre for unit consistency= (2.5×0.01)=

0.025m

We can calculate the The cross sectional area of the nozzle as

A= πr^2

A= π ×0.025^2

= 1.9635 ×10^- ³ m²

From the question, the water is moving through the pipe at a rate of 0.1 m /s , then for the water to move through it at a seconds, it must move at

(0.1 / 1.9635 ×10^- ³ m²)

= 50.93 m/s

During the Operation of the pump, the Dynamic energy of the water= potential energy provided there is no loss during the Operation

mgh = 1/2mv²

We can make "h" subject of the formula, which is the height of required head of water

h = (1/2mv²)/mg

h= v² / 2g

h = 50.93² / (2 ×9.81)

h = 132.21m

From the question;

The total irreversible head loss of the system = 3 m,

the given position of nozzle = 3 m

the total head the pump needed=(The total irreversible head loss of the system + the position of the nozzle + required head of water )

=(3 + 3 + 132.21m)

=138.21m

mass of water pumped in a seconds can be calculated since we know that mass is a product of volume and density

Volume= 0.1m³

Density of sea water=1030 kg/m

(0.1 m^3× 1030)

= 103kg

We can calculate the Potential enegry, which is = mgh

= (103 ×9.81 × 138.21)

= 139651.5 Watts

= 139.65kW

To determine required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity

Energy= efficiency × power

But we are given efficiency of 70 percent, then

139651.5 Watts = 0.7P

=199502.18 Watts

P=199.5 kW

Therefore, the required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity is 199.5 kW

Answer:

6.77 x 10^-13 Newtons

Explanation:

using the formula [tex]F= \frac{GMm}{r^2}[/tex]

where G is the gravitation constant which is 6.673 x 10^-11 N m2/kg2

M = mass of the first object which is 0.25 kg

m = mass of the second object which is 0.65 kg

and r is the distance between the objects which is 4 metres

Plugging our values in:

[tex]F\:=\:\left(6.673x10^{-11}\right)\frac{\left(0.25\right)\left(0.65\right)}{4^2}[/tex]

a 50.0kg skydiver experience a 740newton air resistance force determine her acceleration please help asap​

Answers

Answer:

a = - 5 [m/s²].

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = resultant force [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 50 [kg]

a = acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

For this particular problem, the only forces acting are the force of gravity acting down with negative sign, while the force of air opposes the fall, in this way it is positive.

[tex]f_{air}-F_{grav}=-m*a[/tex]

As the movement is pointing down the acceleration will be taken as negative.

[tex]740-(50*9.81)=-50*a\\740-490.5 = -50*a\\249.5 = -50*a\\a = - 5 [m/s^{2} ][/tex]

We should note that in this case, the acceleration has a negative sign, this means that the force of the air makes the skydiver move upwards

Unknown:
Fnet =
Equation:
Fret=ma (or m*a)
Solution:

Answers

Answer:

38,673.9N

Explanation:

According to newton's second law:

Force = mass * acceleration

Given

Mass = 873kg

acceleration = 44.66m/s²

Magnitude of the force is expressed as;

F = ma

F = 873 * 44.6

F = 38,673.9N

Hence the magnitude of the net force exerted on the dragster during this time is 38,673.9N

A supply plane drops a package to the ground for stranded campers below. After falling for 8.14 seconds, the package will have a downward velocity of 80.79 m/s. How high was the plane when it dropped the package?

Answers

Answer:

333 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s.

Time (t) = 8.14 s.

Final velocity (v) = 80.79 m/s.

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

v² = u² + 2gh

80.79² = 0 + (2 × 9.8 × h)

6527.0241 = 0 + 19.6h

6527.0241 = 19.6h

Divide both side by 19.6

h = 6527.0241 / 19.6

h = 333 m

Thus, the plane was at a height of 333 m when the package was dropped.
