Answer:

Option E is correct 310N

Explanation:

Given that the force used to push the crate is F = 200N

The force directed 20° below the horizontal

Mass of crate is m = 25kg

Weight of the crate can be determine using

W = mg

g is gravitational constant =9.8m/s²

W = 25×9.8

W = 245 N

Check attachment. For free body diagram and better understanding

Using newton second law along the vertical axis since we want to find the normal force

ΣFy = m•ay

ay = 0, since the body is not moving in the vertical or y direction

N—W—F•Sin20 = 0

N = W+F•Sin20

N = 245+ 200Sin20

N = 245 + 68.4

N = 313.4 N

The normal force is approximately 310 N to the nearest ten

The density of nuclear matter is about 1018 kg/m3. Given that 1 mL is equal in volume to 1 cm3, what is the density of nuclear m

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

density is $10^{6}$ Mg/µL

Explanation:

given data

density of nuclear = $10^{18}$ kg/m³

1 ml = 1 cm³

to find out

density of nuclear matter in Mg/µL

solution

we know here

1 Mg = 1000 kg

so

1 m³ is equal to $10^{6}$ cm³

and here 1 cm³ is equal to 1 mL

so we can say 1 mL is equal to 10³ µL

so by these we can convert density

density = $10^{18}$ kg/m³

density = $10^{18}$ kg/m³ × $\frac{10^{-3} }{10^{6} }$ Mg/µL

density = $10^{6}$ Mg/µL

Calculate the calories lost when 95 g of water cools from 45 ∘C to 29 ∘C. Express your answer to two significant figures and inc

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

1,520.00 calories

Explanation:

Water molecules are linked by hydrogen bonds that require a lot of heat (energy) to break, which is released when the temperature drops. That energy is called specific heat or thermal capacity (ĉ) when it is enough to change the temperature of 1g of the substance (in this case water) by 1°C. Water ĉ equals 1 cal/(g.°C).

Given that ĉ = Q / (m.ΔT),

where Q= calories transferred between the system and its environment or another system (unity: calorie or cal) (what we are trying to find out),

m= mass of the substance (unity: grams or g), and

ΔT= difference of temperature (unity: Celsius degrees or °C); and

m= 95g and ΔT= 16°C:

Q= 1 cal/(g.°C).95g.16°C =<u> 1,520.00 cal </u>

What is the formula that can be used to find velocity if kinetic energy and mass are known?

viva [34]

The formula for kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{2}m\Delta v^2$ . Thus, the equation for velocity is $v= \sqrt{ \frac{2TotalKineticEnergy}{m} }$ .

A major league baseball pitcher throws a pitch that follows these parametric equations: x(t) = 142t y(t) = –16t2 + 5t + 5. The t

azamat

Answer:

(a) $x'(t)= 142$

(b) 142

(c) $y'(t)= -32t+5$

(d) 96.8 mph

(e) 0.426 s

(f) 0.061 rad

Explanation:

Velocity is a time-derivative of position.

(a) $x(t) = 142t$

$x'(t)= 142$

(b) Since $x'(t)= 142$ is independent of $t$ , it follows it was constant throughout. Hence, at any point or time, the horizontal velocity is 142.

(c) $y(t) = - 16t^2+5t+5$

$y'(t)= -32t+5$

(d) When it passes the home plate, the ball has travelled 60.5 ft (from the question). This is horizontal, so it is equivalent to $x(t)$ .

$x(t)= 142t = 60.5$

$t=\dfrac{60.5}{142}= 0.426$ .

In this time, the vertical velocity, $y'(t)$ is

$y(t)= -32\times0.426+5 = -8.632$

The speed of the ball at thus point is $s=\sqrt{142^2+(-8.632)^2}=142$ ft/s

To convert this to mph, we multiply the factor 3600/5280

$s=142\times\dfrac{3600}{5280}=96.8 \text{ mph}$

(e) The time has been determined from (d) above.

$t= 0.426$

(f) This angle is given by

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{y'(t)}{x'(t)}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{-8.632}{142}=\tan^{-1}-0.0607=3.47$ (Note here we are considering the acute angle so we ignore the negative sign)

In radians, this is

$\theta=3.47\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}=0.061 \text{ rad}$
