A free-falling golf ball strikes the ground and exerts a force on it. Which sentences are true about this situation? A golf ball

striking the ground is a collision. The ground exerts an equal force on the golf ball. The ground doesn’t exert a force on the golf ball. The force is zero because the golf ball has little mass.

Answer:

The ground exerts an equal force on the golf ball

Explanation:

Third's Newton Law states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A".

In this problem, object A is the golf ball while object B is the ground, so we can say that:

- the golf ball exerts a force on the ground

- the ground exerts an equal and opposite force on the golf ball

A cart, which has a mass of 2.30 kg is sitting at the top of an inclined plane, which is 4.50 meters long and meets the horizont

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

a) The gravitational potential energy before the cart rolls down the incline is 24.6 J.

b) The magnitude of the force that causes the cart to roll down is 5.47 N.

c) The acceleration of the cart is 2.38 m/s²

d) It takes the cart 1.94 s to reach the bottom of the incline.

e) The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the inclined plane is 4.62 m/s.

f) The kinetic energy of the cart as it reaches the bottom of the incline is 24.6 J.

g) The work done by the gravitational force is 24.6 J.

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The gravitational potential energy is calculated using the following equation:

EP = m · g · h

Where:

EP = gravitational potential energy.

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

h = height at which the object is located.

The height of the inclined plane can be calculated using trigonomoetry:

sin 14.0° = height / lenght

sin 14.0° = height / 4.50 m

4.50 m · sin 14.0° = height

height = 1.09 m

Then, the gravitational potential energy will be:

EP = m · g · h

EP = 2.30 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 1.09 m = 24.6 J

The gravitational potential energy before the cart rolls down the incline is 24.6 J.

b) Please, see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem and the forces acting on the cart. The force that causes the cart to accelerate down the incline is the horizontal component of the weight (Fwx in the figure). The magnitude of this force can be obtained using trigonometry:

sin 14° = Fwx / Fw

The weight of the cart (Fw) is calculated as follows:

Fw = m · g

Fw = 2.30 kg · 9.81 m/s²

Fw = 22.6 N

Then, the x-component of the weight will be:

FW · sin 14° = Fwx

22.6 N · sin 14° = Fwx

Fwx = 5.47 N

The magnitude of the force that causes the cart to roll down is 5.47 N.

c)Using the equation of Fwx we can calculate the acceleration of the cart:

Fwx = m · a

Where "m" is the mass of the cart and "a" is the acceleration.

Fwx / m = a

5.47 N / 2.30 kg = a

a = 2.38 m/s²

The acceleration of the cart is 2.38 m/s²

d) To calculate the time it takes the cart to reach the bottom of the incline, let´s use the equation of position of the cart:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the cart at time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

a = acceleration.

t = time.

Considering the initial position as the point at which the cart starts rolling (x0 = 0) and knowing that the cart starts from rest (v0 = 0), let´s find the time it takes the cart to travel the 4.50 m of the inclined plane:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

4.50 m = 1/2 · 2.38 m/s² · t²

2 · 4.50 m / 2.38 m/s² = t²

t = 1.94 s

It takes the cart 1.94 s to reach the bottom of the incline.

e) The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the inclined plane can be obtained using the following equation:

v = v0 + a · t

v = 0 m/s + 2.38 m/s² · 1.94 s

v = 4.62 m/s

The velocity of the cart at the bottom of the inclined plane is 4.62 m/s.

f) The kinetic energy can be calculated using the following equation:

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

KE = kinetic energy.

m = mass of the cart.

v = velocity of the cart.

KE = 1/2 · 2.30 kg · (4.62 m/s)²

KE = 24.6 J

The kinetic energy of the cart as it reaches the bottom of the incline is 24.6 J.

The gain of kinetic energy is equal to the loss of gravitational potential energy.

g) The work done by the gravitational force can be calculated using the work-energy theorem: the work done by the gravitational force is equal to the negative change in the gravitational potential energy:

W = -ΔPE

W = -(final potential energy - initial potential energy)

W = -(0 - 24.6 J)

W = 24.6 J

This can also be calculated using the definition of work:

W = Fw · d

Where "d" is the distance traveled in the direction of the force, that is the height of the inclined plane:

W = 22.6 N · 1.09 m = 24.6 J.

The work done by the gravitational force is 24.6 J.

A charge of 87.6 pC is uniformly distributed on the surface of a thin sheet of insulating material that has a total area of 65.2

LiRa [457]

Answer:

60.8 cm²

Explanation:

The charge density, σ on the surface is σ = Q/A where q = charge = 87.6 pC = 87.6 × 10⁻¹² C and A = area = 65.2 cm² = 65.2 × 10⁻⁴ m².

σ = Q/A = 87.6 × 10⁻¹² C/65.2 × 10⁻⁴ m² = 1.34 × 10⁻⁸ C/m²

Now, the charge through the Gaussian surface is q = σA' where A' is the charge in the Gaussian surface.

Since the flux, Ф = 9.20 Nm²/C and Ф = q/ε₀ for a closed Gaussian surface

So, q = ε₀Ф = σA'

ε₀Ф = σA'

making A' the area of the Gaussian surface the subject of the formula, we have

A' = ε₀Ф/σ

A' = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m × 9.20 Nm²/C ÷ 1.34 × 10⁻⁸ C/m²

A' = 81.4568/1.34 × 10⁻⁴ m²

A' = 60.79 × 10⁻⁴ m²

A' ≅ 60.8 cm²

While ice skating, you unintentionally crash into a person. Your mass is 60 kg, and you are traveling east at 8.0 m/s with respe

kaheart [24]

Answer:

6.18 m/s

Explanation:

Roller skate collision

The final direction of the system (me=M + person=P) velocity vector is at an angle; Ф, to the direction running south to north. Apply the component form of the impulse-momentum equation, firstly;

x-axis component form (+x east);

$P_{Miy}$ + $p_{Piy}$ + $j_{y}$ = $P_{Mfy}$ + $P_{pfy}$

$m_{Mu_{Miy}+ m_{pu_{piy}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} sin$ Ф

60 ·8 + 0 = (60 + 80) $V_{f}sin$ Ф

480 = 140 $V_{f} sin$ Ф................. (I)

y-axis component form (+y north);

$P_{Mix}$ + $p_{Pix}$ + $j_{x}$ = $P_{Mfx}$ + $P_{pfx}$

$m_{Mu_{Mix}+ m_{pu_{pix}}+0=(m_{M}+m_{p})V_{f} cos$ Ф

0 + 80.9 = (60 + 80) $V_{f}cos$ Ф

720= 140 $V_{f}cos$ Ф

140Vf= $\frac{720}{cos}$ Ф......................................(2)

Substituting (2) into (1) to give the angle;

480 = 720tan Ф

Ф = arctan(0.67) =33.69°.......................(3)

Evaluating (1) with (3) gives the velocity magnitude

480 = 140Vfsin 33.69°

Vf=6.18 m/s

note 1:

This angle corresponds to a direction; 90° - 33.69° = 56.31° north of east.

The speed v of a sound wave traveling in a medium that has bulk modulus b and mass density ρ (mass divided by the volume) is v=b

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

As it is given that Bulk modulus and density related to velocity of sound

$v = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho}}$

by rearranging the equation we can say

$B = \rho * v^2$

now we need to find the SI unit of Bulk modulus here

we can find it by plug in the units of density and speed here

$B = \frac{kg}{m^3} * (\frac{m}{s})^2$

so SI unit will be

$B = \frac{kg}{m* s^2}$

SO above is the SI unit of bulk Modulus
