Answer:

 a = 1,008 10⁻³ m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise, let's use the kinematic relations of accelerated motion

           v² = v₀² - 2 a x

The negative sign is because the acceleration is opposite to the speed, the final speed is zero

          0 = v₀² - 2 a x

          a = v₀² / 2x

   Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

          x = 2.4mm (1m / 10³mm) = 2.4 10⁻³m

Let's calculate

         a = 2.2²/2 2.4 10⁻³

        a = 1,008 10⁻³ m / s²

Jeff puts on a leather jacket over his sweater. The sweater becomes negatively charged. Which statements about Jeff’s situation
Vinil7 [7]

Following statements are true
(i) The leather jacket has a lower tendency to attract electrons than sweater.
When the sweater and the leather jacket are in contact with each other, the leather jacket loses electrons and thus becomes positively charged. the electrons are gained by the sweater and it becomes negatively charges.
The opposite charge attract. so the sweater ( negatively charged) will attract protons ( positively charged) . The leather jacket ( positively charged) will attract the electrons ( negatively charged).

A truck with a heavy load has a total mass of 7100 kg. It is climbing a 15∘ incline at a steady 15 m/s when, unfortunately, the
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

Explanation:

Step 1 : Data given

Mass of the truck = 7100 kg

Angle = 15°

velocity = 15m/s

Acceleration = 1.5 m/s²

Mass of truck = m1 kg

Mass of load = m2 kg

Thrust from engine = T

Step 2:

⇒ Before the load falls off, thrust (T) balances the component of total weight downhill:

T = (m1+m2)*g*sinθ

⇒ After the load falls off, thrust (T) remains the same but downhill component of weight becomes  m1*gsinθ .

Resultant force on truck is F = T – m1*gsinθ  

F causes the acceleration of the truck: F= m*a

This gives the equation:

T – m1*gsinθ = m1*a  

T = m1(a + gsinθ)

Combining both equations gives:

(m1+m2)*g*sinθ = m1*(a + gsinθ)

m1*g*sinθ + m2*g*sinθ =m1*a + m1*g*sinθ

m2*g*sinθ = m1*a

Since m1+m2 = 7100kg, m1= 7100 – m2. This we can plug into the previous equation:

m2*g*sinθ = (7100 – m2)*a

m2*g*sinθ = 7100a – m2a

m2*gsinθ + m2*a = 7100a

m2* (gsinθ + a) = 7100a

m2 = 7100a/(gsinθ  + a)

m2 = (7100 * 1.5) / (9.8sin(15°) + 1.5)

m2 = 2636.8 kg

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

A clothes dryer in a home has a power of 4,500 watts and runs on a special 220-volt household circuit,
ladessa [460]

1).  <u>Power = (voltage)² / (Resistance)</u>

     4,500 = (220)² / Resistance

Multiply each side by (resistance) :  4,500 x resistance = (220)²

Divide each side by  4,500 :            Resistance  =  (220)² / 4,500 = <em>10.76 ohms</em>


2).  <u>Power = (voltage) x (Current)</u>

Divide each side by (voltage):  Power / voltage = Current

                                            4,500 / 220  =  <em>20.45 Amperes</em>


3).  4,500 watts = 4.5 kilowatts

     (4.5 kilowatts) x (4 hours)  =  <em>18 kilowatt-hours</em>

Tom and his little sister are enjoying an afternoon at the ice rink. they playfully place their hands together and push against
Westkost [7]
Newton's third law says:
"<span>For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. ".

So, the force that Tom does on the sister is equal to force the sister applies on Tom:
</span>F_t = F_s
<span>where the label "t" means "on Tom", while the label "s" means "on the sister".

From Newton's second law, we also know
</span>F=ma
where m is the mass and a the acceleration. <span>so we can rewrite the first equation as
</span>m_t a_t = m_s a_s
<span>And find Tom's acceleration:
</span>a_t =  \frac{m_s}{m_t} a_s =  \frac{15 kg}{61 kg} (2.1 m/s^2)  =0.52 m/s^2<span>
