A cart with an unknown mass is at rest on one side of a track. A student must find the mass of the cart by using Newton’s second

law. The student attaches a force probe to the cart and pulls it while keeping the force constant. A motion detector rests on the opposite end of the track to record the acceleration of the cart as it is pulled. The student uses the measured force and acceleration values and determines that the cart’s mass is 0.4kg . When placed on a balance, the cart’s mass is found to be 0.5kg . Which of the following could explain the difference in mass?
Answer choices:

A) The track was not level and was tilted slightly downward.

B) The student did not pull the cart with a force parallel to the track.

C) The wheels contain bearings that were rough and caused a significant amount of friction.

D) The motion sensor setting was incorrect. The student set it up so that motion away from the sensor would be the negative direction.

A standard baseball has a circumference of approximately 23 cm . if a baseball had the same mass per unit volume as a neutron or
Svetlanka [38]

<u>Answer:</u>

 Mass of base ball  m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg  

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Circumference of baseball = 2πr = 23 cm

  So radius of baseball = 3.66 cm = 3.66*10^{-2} m

   Mass per unit volume of baseball = Mass per unit volume of neutron or proton.

   Mass of proton = 10^{-27} kg  

   Diameter of proton = 10^{-15} m

   Radius of proton =  5*10^{-16} m

   Volume of ball = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

   Now substituting all values in Mass per unit volume of baseball = Mass per unit volume of neutron or proton.    

         \frac{m_b}{\frac{4}{3}\pi *(3.66*10^{-2})^3} =\frac{10^{-27}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi *(5*10^{-16})^3}

         \frac{m_b}{(3.66*10^{-2})^3} =\frac{10^{-27}}{(5*10^{-16})^3}  

         m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg

       So mass of base ball  m_b=3.992*10^{14}kg

In springboard diving, the diver strides out to the end of the board, takes a jump onto its end, and uses the resultant spring-l
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

10.4 m/s

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the following SUVAT equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the diver in the problem, we have:

u=+6.3 m/s is the initial velocity (positive because it is upward)

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

By substituting t = 1.7 s, we find the velocity when the diver reaches the water:

v=+6.3 + (-9.8)(1.7)=-10.4 m/s

And the negative sign means that the direction is downward: so, the speed is 10.4 m/s.

In a supermarket, you place a 22.3-N (around 5 lb) bag of oranges on a scale, and the scale starts to oscillate at 2.7 Hz. What
allsm [11]

Answer:

Force constant, k = 653.3 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the bag of oranges on a scale, W = 22.3 N

Let m is the mass of the bag of oranges,

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{22.3}{9.8}

m = 2.27 kg

Frequency of the oscillation of the scale, f = 2.7 Hz

We need to find the force constant (spring constant) of the spring of the scale. We know that the formula of the frequency of oscillation of the spring is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

k=4\pi^2 f^2m

k=4\pi^2 \times (2.7)^2\times 2.27

k = 653.3 N/m

So, the force constant of the spring of the scale is 653.3 N/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A satellite with a mass of 5.6 E 5 kg is orbiting the Earth in a circular path. Determine the satellite's velocity if it is orbi
solniwko [45]

Answer:

7500 m/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration = gravity

v² / r = GM / r²

v = √(GM / r)

Given:

G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ m³/kg/s²

M = 5.98×10²⁴ kg

r = 6.8×10⁵ + 6.357×10⁶ = 7.037×10⁶ m

v = √(6.67×10⁻¹¹ (5.98×10²⁴) / (7.037×10⁶))

v = 7500

The orbital velocity is 7500 m/s.

To penetrate armor, a projectile's point concentrates force in a small area, creating a stress large enough that the armor fails
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

4.527×10^{10} N/m^2

Explanation:

Assuming that the resulting stress is asked in the question in N/m^2

The stress is given by the expression

σ = F/A

F= 32μN  and A, Area= πr^2

r,  radius = 15 nm

Putting values we get

\sigma = \frac{32\times10^{-6}}{\pi\times (15\times10^{-9})^2}

= 4.527×10^{10} N/m^2

hence the resulting stress is  4.527×10^{10} N/m^2
