Hey there!

A ball rolls 3 times. If she adds the three measurements and divides it by 3, it means that this is the average speed. The average speed is found by adding all measurements and dividing by the amount of numbers.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

a) W = - 318.26 J, b)  W = 0 , c) W = 318.275 J , d) W = 318.275 J , e) W = 0

Explanation:

The work is defined by

           W = F .ds = F ds cos θ

Bold indicate vectors

We create a reference system where the x-axis is parallel to the ramp and the axis and perpendicular, in the attached we see a scheme of the forces

Let's use trigonometry to break down weight

     sin θ = Wₓ / W

     Wₓ = W sin 60

     cos θ = Wy / W

      Wy = W cos 60

X axis

How the body is going at constant speed

    fr - Wₓ = 0

    fr = mg sin 60

    fr = 15 9.8 sin 60

    fr = 127.31 N

Y Axis  

    N - Wy = 0

    N = mg cos 60

    N = 15 9.8 cos 60

    N = 73.5 N

Let's calculate the different jobs

a) The work of the force of gravity is

     W = mg L cos θ

Where the angles are between the weight and the displacement is

      θ = 60 + 90 = 150

     W = 15 9.8 2.50 cos 150

     W = - 318.26 J

b) The work of the normal force

     From Newton's equations

          N = Wy = W cos 60

          N = mg cos 60

         W = N L cos 90

        W = 0

c) The work of the friction force

      W = fr L cos 0

      W = 127.31 2.50

      W = 318.275 J

d) as the body is going at constant speed the force of the tape is equal to the force of friction

      W = F L cos 0

      W = 127.31 2.50

       W = 318.275 J

e) the net force

    F ’= fr - Wx = 0

    W = F ’L cos 0

    W = 0

When a gas is rapidly compressed (say, by pushing down a piston) its temperature increases. When a gas expands against a piston,
shusha [124]

Answer:

Explained in explanation

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system(ΔU) is equal to the sum of the net heat transfer into the system(Q) and the net work done on the system(W). In equation, this law is;

ΔU = Q + W

Now, when there's gas inside a container with a movable piston that's tightly fitting, we will assume that the piston can move up and down thereby compressing the gas or allowing the gas to expand against it.

Now these gas molecules inside the container possess kinetic energy. Thus, the internal energy(U) of the system is simply the sum of all the kinetic energies of the individual gas molecules present in the container.

Therefore, if the temperature(T) of the gas increases, then the speed and internal energy(U) of the gas molecules will also increase. In the same way, if the temperature of the gas decreases, the speed and internal energy of the gas molecules would also decrease.

Now, back to the question, when the piston is pushed down, it does work on the gas and the gas does negative work on the piston. Thus, the gas will be get compressed to a smaller space, and thereby making the gas molecules to hit the piston at a faster rate. Thus, there is a decrease in speed and as we saw earlier that when there is a decrease in speed, it means temperature has decreased.

Whereas, when the piston is moved up, the gas does positive work on the piston and the speed of the gas molecules will increase. Like I said earlier that increase in speed means increase in temperature.

A charge of uniform volume density (40 nC/m3) fills a cube with 8.0-cm edges. What is the total electric flux through the surfac
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The flux through the surface of the cube is 2.314\ Nm^{2}/C

Solution:

As per the question:

Edge of the cube, a = 8.0 cm = 8.0\times 10^{- 2}\ m

Volume Charge density, \rho_{v} = 40 nC/m^{3} = 40\times {- 9}\ C/m^{3}

Now,

To calculate the electric flux:

\phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_{o}}                                                      (1)

where

\phi = electric flux

\epsilon_{o} = 8.85\times 10^{- 12}\ F/m = permittivity of free space  

Volume Charge density for the given case is given by the formula:

\rho_{v} = \frac{Total\ charge, q}{Volume of cube, V}                  (2)

Volume of cube, V = a^{3}

Thus

V = (8.0\times 10^{- 2})^{3} = 5.12\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{3}

Thus from eqn (2), the total charge is given by:

q = \rho_{v}V = 40\times {- 9}\times 5.12\times 10^{- 4}

q = 2.048\times 10^{-11}\ F = 20.48\ pF

Now, substitute the value of 'q' in eqn (1):

\phi = \frac{2.048\times 10^{-11}}{8.85\times 10^{- 12}} = 2.314\ Nm^{2}/C

Determine whether each substance will sink or float in corn syrup, which has a density of 1.36 g/cm3. Write “sink” or “float” in
Tatiana [17]

Explanation:

  • A substance will floats if it is having lower density than the density of the liquid in which it is placed.
  • A substance will sink if it is having density greater than the density of the liquid in which it is kept.

Density of corn syrup = 1.36 g/cm^3

1) Density of gasoline = 0.748 g/cm^3

Density of the gasoline is less than the the density of corn syrup which means it will float in corn syrup.

2) Density of water = 1 g/cm^3

Density of the water is less than the the density of corn syrup which means it will float in corn syrup.

3) Density of honey = 1.45 g/cm^3

Density of the gasoline is more than the the density of corn syrup which means it will sink in corn syrup.

4) Density of titanium = 4.506 g/cm^3

Density of the titanium is more than the the density of corn syrup which means it will sink in corn syrup.

Two speakers, A and B, produce identical sound waves. A listener is 3.2 m away from speaker A. The listener finds the lowest fre
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

  0.83 m or 5.57 m

Explanation:

Destructive interference will occur when the distances from the speakers differ by 1/2 wavelength.

The length of 1 cycle of 72.4 Hz is ...

  λ = v/f = (343 m/s)/(72.4 Hz) ≈ 4.738 m

So, the distance of the listener from speaker B is ...

  3.2 m ± (4.738 m)/2 = {0.83 m, 5.57 m} . . . either of these distances

_____

The location could be at additional multiples of 4.738 m, but we think not. The sound intensity drops off with the square of the distance from the speaker, so identical sound waves from the speakers will sound quite different at different distances from the speakers. For best interference, the distances need to be as close to the same as possible. That will be at 3.2 m and 5.57 m.

_____

<em>Comment on the speed of sound</em>

We don't know what speed you are to use for the speed of sound. We have used 343 m/s. Some sources use 340 m/s, which will give a result different by 2 or 3 cm.
