Answer:

The value of tension on the cable T = 1065.6 N

Explanation:

Mass = 888 kg

Initial velocity ( u )= 0.8 \frac{m}{sec}

Final velocity ( V ) = 0

Distance traveled before come to rest = 0.2667 m

Now use third law of motion V^{2} = u^{2} - 2 a s

Put all the values in above formula we get,

⇒ 0 = 0.8^{2} - 2 × a ×0.2667

⇒ a = 1.2 \frac{m}{sec^{2} }

This is the deceleration of the box.

Tension in the cable is given by T = F = m × a

Put all the values in above formula we get,

T = 888 × 1.2

T = 1065.6 N

This is the value of tension on the cable.

1. A 930-kg car traveling 56 km/h comes to a complete stop in 2.0 s. What is the
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The force exerted on the car during this stop is 6975N

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 930kg

Speed, s = 56km/hr = 56 X 5/18 m/s = 15m/s

Time, t = 2s

Force, F = ?

F = m X a

F = m X s/t

F = 930 X 15/2

F = 6975N

Therefore, the force exerted on the car during this stop is 6975N

Suppose you want to make a scale model of a hydrogen atom. You choose, for the nucleus, a small ball bearing with a radius of 1.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A)  x _electron = 0.66 10² m , B)   x _Eart = 1.13 10² m , C)  d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm

Explanation:

A) Let's use a ball for the nucleus, the electron is at a farther distance the sphere for the electron must be at a distance of

Let's use proportions rule

                x_ electron = 0.529 10⁻¹⁰ /1.2 10⁻¹⁵ 1.5

               x _electron = 0.66 10⁵ mm = 0.66 10² m

B) the radii of the Earth and the sun are

               R_{E} = 6.37 10⁶ m

                tex]R_{Sum}[/tex] = 6.96 10⁸ m

                Distance = 1.5 10¹¹ m

                x_Earth = 1.5 10¹¹ / 6.96 10⁸  1.5

                x _Eart = 1.13 10² m

C) The radius of a sphere that represents the earth, if the sphere that represents the sun is 1.5 mm, let's use another rule of proportions

            d_sphere = 1.5 / 6.96 10⁸  6.37 10⁶

            d_sphere = 1.37 10⁻² mm

A radioactive isotope has a half-life of 2 hours. If a sample of the element contains 600,000 radioactive nuclei at 12 noon, how
storchak [24]

Answer: There will be 75258 nuclei left at 6 pm.

Explanation:

a) half-life of the radioactive substance:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.69}{k}

k=\frac{0.69}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{2hours}=0.346hours^{-1}

b) Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

A=A_0e^{-kt}

where,

k = rate constant  

t = time for decomposition = 6 hours ( from 12 noon to 6 pm)

A = activity at time t = ?

A_0 = initial activity  = 600, 000

A=600000\times e^{-0.346\times 6}

A=75258

Thus there will be 75258 nuclei left at 6 pm.

This problem explores the behavior of charge on conductors. We take as an example a long conducting rod suspended by insulating
Olegator [25]

Answer:

rod end A is strongly attracted towards the balls

rod end B is weakly repelled by the ball as it is at a greater distance

Explanation:

When the ball with a negative charge approaches the A end of the neutral bar, the charge of the same sign will repel and as they move they move to the left end, leaving the rod with a positive charge at the A end and a negative charge of equal value at end B.

Therefore rod end A is strongly attracted towards the balls and

rod end B is weakly repelled by the ball as it is at a greater distance

A person drops a stone down a well and hears the echo 8.9 s later. if it takes 0.9 s for the echo to travel up the well, approxi
Temka [501]

Total time in between the dropping of the stone and hearing of the echo = 8.9 s

Time taken by the sound to reach the person = 0.9 s

Time taken by the stone to reach the bottom of the well = 8.9 - 0.9 = 8 seconds

Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2

Time taken (t) = 8 seconds

Let the depth of the well be h.

Using the second equation of motion:

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}\times a \times t^2

h = 0 \times 8 + \frac{1}{2} \times 9.8 \times 8^2

h = 313.6 m

Hence, the depth of the well is 313.6 m
