Answer: A decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

Explanation:

Let's rewrite this as:

"For a constant force F, we can see that heavier objects accelerate less"

Then, as the mass increases, the acceleration of the object decreases.

This is known as an inverse relationship between acceleration and mass.

By second Newton's law we have that:

F = m*a

Force equals mass times acceleration.

So if the force is constant, we can write it as:

a = F/m.

In this equation, we can see that, if the acceleration decreases and F remains constant, then the mass m must increase (because it is in the denominator)

Then the correct option is:

A decrease in acceleration causes the mass to increase.

Answer:

Thermal Power = 460W

Explanation:

From Stephan-Boltzmann Law Formula;

P = єσT⁴A

Where,

P = Radiation energy

σ = Stefan-Boltzmann Constant

T = absolute temperature in Kelvin

є = Emissivity of the material.

A=Area of the emitting body

Now, σ = 5.67 x 10^(-8)

є = 0.6

Temperature = 30°C and coverting to kelvin = 30 + 273 = 303K

Area ; since we are to consider the sides of the human body as 2m and 0.8m,thus area = 2 x 0.8 = 1.6

Thus thermal power = 0.6 x 5.67 x 10^(-8) x303⁴ x 1.6 = 458. 8W

Normally, we approximate to the nearest 10W. Thus, thermal power is approximately 460W

Not 100% but i think it'll cause the earth to rotate slightly slower, its definitely not the last one though

Evaporation of sweat requires energy and thus take excess heat away from the body. Some of the water that you drink may eventual

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The amount of heat required is $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of water is $m_w = 20 \ ounce = 20 * 28.3495 = 5.7 *10^2 g$

The temperature of the water before drinking is $T_w = 3.8 ^oC$

The temperature of the body is $T_b = 36.6^oC$

Generally the amount of heat required to move the water from its former temperature to the body temperature is

$H= m_w * c_w * \Delta T$

Here $c_w$ is the specific heat of water with value $c_w = 4.18 J/g^oC$

$H= 5.7 *10^2 * 4.18 * (36.6 - 3.8)$

=> $H= 7.8 *10^{4} \ J$

Generally the no of mole of sweat present mass of water is

$n = \frac{m_w}{Z_s}$

Here $Z_w$ is the molar mass of sweat with value

$Z_w = 18.015 g/mol$

=> $n = \frac{5.7 *10^2}{18.015}$

=> $n = 31.6 \ moles$

Generally the heat required to vaporize the number of moles of the sweat is mathematically represented as

$H_v = n * L_v$

Here $L_v$ is the latent heat of vaporization with value $L_v = 7 *10^{3} J/mol$

=> $H_v = 31.6 * 7 *10^{3}$

=> $H_v = 1.29 *10^{6} \ J$

Generally the overall amount of heat energy required is

$H_t = H + H_v$

=> $H_t = 7.8 *10^{4} + 1.29 *10^{6}$

=> $H_t = 1.37 *10^{6} \ J$

The gravity tractor is a proposed spacecraft that will fly close to an asteroid whose trajectory threatens to impact the Earth.

Talja [164]

Answer:

$F_g=461lb_f$

Explanation:

First calculate the mass of the asteroid. To do so, you need to find the volume and know the density of iron.

If r = d/2 = 645ft, then:

$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$V = 1.124*10^{9}ft^3$

$\delta_{iron}=m/V=491lb/ft^3$

$m=V*\delta=5.519*10^{11}lb$

Once you know both masses, you can calculate the force using Newton's universal law of gravitation:

$F_g=G\frac{m_1m_2}{d^2}$

Where G is the gravitational constant:

$G= 1.068846 * 10^{-9} ft^3 lb^{-1} s^{-2}$

$F_g=461lb_f$
