Answer:

The true weight of the aluminium is $m_{alu} =$ 4.5021 kg

Explanation:

Given data

$m_{app}$ = 4.5 kg

$\rho_{air}$ = 1.29 $\frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

$\rho_{al}$ = 2.7× $10^{3} \frac{kg}{m^{3} }$

The true mass of the aluminium is given by

$m_{alu} = \frac{\rho_{alu}m_{app}}{\rho_{alu} -\rho_{air} }$

Put all the values in above equation we get

$m_{alu} = \frac{(2700)(4.5)}{2700-1.29}$

$m_{alu} =$ 4.5021 kg

Therefore the true weight of the aluminium is $m_{alu} =$ 4.5021 kg

An astronaut drops a feather from 1.2 m above

vfiekz [6]

This is a free fall and in free fall we use this formula:

d = (1 ÷ 2) × g × t², where d is the distance, g is the gravitational acceleration and t is the time.

In our case,

We are already given the moon's gravitational acceleration and we are going to substitute it with g. Let's leave the unknown alone, which is t.

t = √(2d ÷ g)

If we perform the formula, t is found to be √(2d ÷ g) = √(2 × 1.2 ÷ 1.62) ≅ 1.217 s

If a metal wire is 4m long and a force of 5000n causes it to stretch by 1mm, what is the strain?

barxatty [35]

Answer:

$2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

The strain is defined as the ratio of change of dimension of an object under a force:

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}$

where

$\Delta L$ is the change in length of the object

$L_0$ is the original length of the object

In this problem, we have $L_0 = 4 m$ and $\Delta L=1 mm=0.001 m$ , therefore the strain is

$S=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}=\frac{0.001 m}{4 m}=2.5\cdot 10^{-4}$

The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of 7.50 × 105 N, so the tracks push forward on th

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.

Explanation:

Statement is incomplete. Complete description is presented below:

<em>A freight train has a mass of </em> $1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ <em>. The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of </em> $7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ <em>, so the tracks push forward on the locomotive with a force of the same magnitude. Ignore aerodynamics and friction on the other wheels of the train. How long, in seconds, would it take to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour?</em>

If locomotive have a constant net force ( $F$ ), measured in newtons, then acceleration ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second, must be constant and can be found by the following expression:

$a = \frac{F}{m}$ (1)

Where $m$ is the mass of the freight train, measured in kilograms.

If we know that $F = 7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ and $m = 1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ , then the acceleration experimented by the train is:

$a = \frac{7.50\times 10^{5}\,N}{1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg}$

$a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Now, the time taken to accelerate the freight train from rest ( $t$ ), measured in seconds, is determined by the following formula:

$t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{a}$ (2)

Where:

$v$ - Final speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = 22.222\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the time taken by the freight train is:

$t = \frac{22.222\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s} }{4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 542.265\,s$

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.
