s. The work of the resultant force is 10 Btu. The mass of the object is 15 lb. Determine the constant horizontal acceleration in ft/s2.

Answer:

a = 18.28 ft/s²

Explanation:

given,

time of force application, t= 10 s

Work = 10 Btu

mass of the object = 15 lb

acceleration, a = ? ft/s²

1 btu = 778.15 ft.lbf

10 btu = 7781.5 ft.lbf

$m = \dfrac{15}{32.174}\ slug$

m = 0.466 slug

now,

work done is equal to change in kinetic energy

$W = \dfrac{1}{2} m (v_f^2-v_i^2)$

$7781.5 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.466\times v_f^2$

$v_f = 182.75\ ft/s$

now, acceleration of object

$a = \dfrac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

$a = \dfrac{182.75-0}{10}$

a = 18.28 ft/s²

constant acceleration of the object is equal to 18.28 ft/s²

When a mass of 25 g is attached to a certain spring, it makes 20 complete vibrations in 4.0 s. what is the spring constant of th

earnstyle [38]

Answer: The spring of the spring is 25 N/m.

Explanation:

Mass of the body = 25 g= 0.025 kg (1 kg = 1000 g)

Oscillation is 4 sec = 20

Oscillation in 1 sec = $\frac{20}{4}=5$

Frequency of the vibration of the spring = $5 s^{-1}=5 Hz$

Force constant can be calculated bu using the relation between the frequency and, mass and spring constant 'k'

$Frequency=\frac{1}{2\pi}\times \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$

$5 s^{-1}=\frac{1}{2\times 3.14}\times \sqrt{\frac{k}{0.025 kg}}$

$k=24.649 N/m\approx 25 N/m$

The spring of the spring is 25 N/m.

A.Whale communication. Blue whales apparently communicate with each other using sound of frequency 17.0 Hz, which can be heard n

Y_Kistochka [10]

A. 90.1 m

The wavelength of a wave is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v is the speed of the wave

f is its frequency

For the sound emitted by the whale, v = 1531 m/s and f = 17.0 Hz, so the wavelength is

$\lambda=\frac{1531 m/s}{17.0 Hz}=90.1 m$

B. 102 kHz

We can re-arrange the same equation used previously to solve for the frequency, f:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where for the dolphin:

v = 1531 m/s is the wave speed

$\lambda=1.50 cm=0.015 m$ is the wavelength

Substituting into the equation,

$f=\frac{1531 m/s}{0.015 m}=1.02 \cdot 10^5 Hz=102 kHz$

C. 13.6 m

Again, the wavelength is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where

v = 340 m/s is the speed of sound in air

f = 25.0 Hz is the frequency of the whistle

Substituting into the equation,

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{25.0 Hz}=13.6 m$

D. 4.4-8.7 m

Using again the same formula, and using again the speed of sound in air (v=340 m/s), we have:

- Wavelength corresponding to the minimum frequency (f=39.0 Hz):

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{39.0 Hz}=8.7 m$

- Wavelength corresponding to the maximum frequency (f=78.0 Hz):

$\lambda=\frac{340 m/s}{78.0 Hz}=4.4 m$

So the range of wavelength is 4.4-8.7 m.

E. 6.2 MHz

In order to have a sharp image, the wavelength of the ultrasound must be 1/4 of the size of the tumor, so

$\lambda=\frac{1}{4}(1.00 mm)=0.25 mm=2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m$

And since the speed of the sound wave is

v = 1550 m/s

The frequency will be

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{1550 m/s}{2.5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=6.2\cdot 10^6 Hz=6.2 MHz$

A boy standing on a 19.6 meter tall bridge sees a motorboat approaching the bridge at a constant speed. When the boat is 27 mete

azamat

Answer:

A. 12 m/s

Explanation:

Let’s remember that the definition of velocity is the variation of position of an object respect with to time. We know that the boy dropped the stone when the boat was 27 meters from the bridge and the stone hit the water 3 meters in front of the boat. So, the Boat must have traveled x=27 m-3m=24 m. The next step is calculating the amount of time that took the boat to make that travel; coincidentally, it is the same time that takes the stone to reach the water.

The equation that describes the motion of the stone is:

y = y_0 + v_0 * t+1/2 * a * t^2

The boy drops the stone from rest, so we can say that v_0=0. We can fixate the reference line on top of the bridge, so y_0=0 as well. The equation will be then:

-19,6 m = -1/2 * 9,8 m/s^2 * t^2

t^2= -(19,6 m)/(-4,9 m/s^2) = 4,012 s^2

t=√(4,012 s^2) = 2,003 s

Knowing the time that takes the stone to reach the water, that is the same that time that the boat uses to travel the 24 meters. The velocity of the boat is:

v = ∆x/∆t = (27 m-3 m)/(2,003 s-0s) = 11,9816 m/s ≈ 12 m/s

Determine the correlation between coronal mass ejections from the Sun to the accumulation of the rare and valuable isotope He3 t

Reil [10]

Most ejections originate from active regions on the Sun's surface, such as groupings of sunspots associated with frequent flares. These regions have closed magnetic field lines, in which the magnetic field strength is large enough to contain the plasma.

Compare the momentum of a 6,300-kg elephant walking 0.11m/s and a 50 kg dolphine swimming 10.4m/s

Cerrena [4.2K]

Momentum of elephant = 6300 * 0.11 = 693 kg-m/s

Momentum for the dolphin = 50 * 10.4 = 520 kg-m/s

Difference in momentum = 693 - 520 = 173 kg-m/s
