You are pulling your little sister on her sled across an icy (frictionless) surface. When you exert a constant horizontal force

of 120 N , the sled has an acceleration of 2.3 m/s2 . Part A If the sled has a mass of 8.0 kg , what is the mass of your little sister

Answer:

Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg

Explanation:

From Newton's second law of motion, the magnitude of force applied on the sled is given by the following formula:

F = ma

where,

F = Force Applied = 120 N

a = Acceleration = 2.3 m/s²

m = Mass of Sled + Mass of Little Sister = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Therefore,

120 N = (2.3 m/s²)(8 kg + Mass of Little Sister)

(120 N)/(2.3 m/s²) = 8 kg + Mass of Little Sister

Mass of Little Sister = 52.17 kg - 8 kg

<u>Mass of Little Sister = 44.17 kg</u>

A violin with string length 32 cm and string density 1.5 g/cm resonates in its fundamental with the first overtone of a 2.0-m or
love history [14]

Answer:

T=1022.42 N

Explanation:

Given that

l = 32 cm ,μ = 1.5 g/cm

L =2 m  ,V= 344 m/s

The pipe is closed so n= 3 ,for first over tone

f=\dfrac{nV}{4L}

f=\dfrac{3\times 344}{4\times 2}

f= 129 Hz

The tension in the string given as

T = f²(4l²) μ

Now by putting the values

T = f²(4l²) μ

T = 129² x (4 x 0.32²)  x 1.5 x  10⁻³ x 100

T=1022.42 N

A typical garden hose has an inner diameter of 5/8". Let's say you connect it to a faucet and the water comes out of the hose wi
castortr0y [4]
Since speed (v) is in ft/sec, let's convert our diameters from inches to feet:
1) 5/8in = 0.625in
0.625in × 1ft/12in = 0.0521ft
2) 0.25in × 1ft/12in = 0.021ft
Equation:
v = 4q \div ( {d}^{2} \pi) \: where \: q = flow \\ v = velocity \: (speed) \: and \:  \\ d = diameter \: of \: pipe \: or \: hose \\ and \: \pi = 3.142
we \: can \: only \: assume \:that \\  flow \: (q) \:stays \: same \: since \: it \\  isnt \: impeded \: by \:  anything \\ thus \:it  \: (q)\:  stays \: the \: same \:  \\ so \: 4q \: can \: be \: removed \: from \:  \\ the \: equation
then \: we \: can \: assume \: that \: only \\ v \: and \: d \: change \: leading \:us \: to >  >  \\ (v1 \times {d1}^{2} \pi) = (v2  \times   {d2}^{2}\pi)
both \: \pi \: will \: cancel \: each \: other \: out \:  \\ as \: constants \:since \: one \: is \: on \\ each \: side \: of \: the \:  =

(v1  \times   {d1}^{2}) = (v2 \ \times {d2}^{2}) \\ (7.0 \times   {0.052}^{2}) = (v2  \times   {0.021}^{2}) \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \:  {0.021}^{2} \\ to \: solve \: for \: v2 >  >
v2 = (7.0)( {0.052}^{2} ) \div ( {0.021}^{2})  \\ v2 = (7.0)(.0027) \div (.00043) \\ v2 = 44 \: feet \: per \: second
new velocity coming out of the hose then is
44 ft/sec

QUESTION:-A beam of white light shines onto a sheet of white paper. An identical beam of light shines onto a mirror. The light is scattered from the paper and reflected from the mirror.
Describe how scattering by paper and reflection by a mirror are different from each other.


ANSWER: Scattering sends or reflects light from each point on the object in all directions, whereas reflection sends light from each point on the object in one direction only (or to one point)

Small frogs that are good jumpers are capable of remarkable accelerations. One species reaches a takeoff speed of3.7 m/s in60 ms
MAVERICK [17]

We know that acceleration is change in velocity by time taken for that change.

In this case velocity change is 3.7 m/s

Time taken for this change = 60 ms = 6 *10^{-3} seconds

So acceleration of frog  = \frac{3.7}{60*10^{-3}}

                                       = 61.66 m/s^2

So acceleration of frog is 61.66 m/s^2

o it is evident that frog is capable of remarkable accelerations.

A book rests on the shelf of a bookcase. The reaction force to the force of gravity acting on the book is 1. The force of the sh
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

1. The force of the shelf holding the book up.

Explanation:

The free body diagram of the book is as follows:

1 - The weight of the book towards downwards

2 - The normal force that the shelf exerts on the book towards upwards.

Since the book is at rest, these two forces are equal to each other and according to Newton's Third Law the reaction force to the force of gravity is equal but opposite to the weight of the book. This reaction force is the one that holds the book up on the shelf.
