Answer:

Gravitational force

Explanation:

When ball is placed on the slope and slightly disturbed then ball will roll down the slope with increasing speed.

This increasing speed or acceleration of ball is due to the component of weight of ball which is along the inclined plane.

As shown in the FBD the component of weight perpendicular to inclined plane is used to counterbalance the normal force while other component of weight parallel to the inclined plane is accelerating the ball down the plane

So here we can write

$mgsin\theta = ma$

so here

$a = gsin\theta$

so ball is accelerating due to gravitational force

A moving sidewalk 95 m in length carries passengers at a speed of 0.53 m/s. One passenger has a normal walking speed of 1.24 m/s

Archy [21]

Answer:

a) t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) t = 54 s

c) t = 49 s

Explanation:

a) The equation for the position of an object moving in a straight line at constan speed is:

x = x0 + v * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

In this case, the origin of our reference system is at the begining of the sidewalk.

a) To calculate the time the passenger travels on the sidewalk without wlaking, we can use the equation for the position, using as speed the speed of the sidewalk:

x = x0 + v * t

95 m = 0m + 0. 53 m/s * t

t = 95 m/ 0.53 m/s

t = 1.8 x 10² s

b) Now, the speed of the passenger will be her walking speed plus the speed of th sidewalk (0.53 m/s + 1.24 m/s = 1.77 m/s)

t = 95 m/ 1.77 m/s = 54 s

c) In this case, the passenger is located 95 m from the begining of the sidewalk, then, x0 = 95 m and the final position will be x = 0. She walks in an opposite direction to the movement of the sidewalk, towards the origin of the system of reference ( the begining of the sidewalk). Then, her speed will be negative ( v = 0.53 m/s - 2*(1.24 m/s) = -1.95 m/s. Then:

0 m = 95 m -1.95 m/s * t

t = -95 m / -1.95 m/s = 49 s

When boiling water, a hot plate takes an average of 8 minutes and 55 seconds to boil 100 milliliters of water. Assume the temper

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

90.9 seconds

Explanation:

m = Mass of liquid = Volume×Density

c = Specific heat

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature

t = Time taken

Room temperature = 75 °F

Converting to Celsius

$(75-32)\times \frac{5}{9}=23.889\ ^{\circ}C$

Heat required to raise the temperature of water

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q=100\times 10^{-6}\times 1000\times 4186\times (100-23.889)\\\Rightarrow Q=31860.0646\ J$

Power

$P=\frac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{31860.0646}{8\times 60+55}\\\Rightarrow P=59.55152\ W$

Efficiency of the plate

$\frac{59.5512}{283}\times 100=21.04282\%$

Heat required to raise the temperature of water

$Q=mc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow Q=100\times 10^{-6}\times 784\times 2150\times (56-23.889)\\\Rightarrow Q=5412.63016\ J$

$P=\frac{Q}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{Q}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{5412.63016}{0.2104282\times 283}\\\Rightarrow t=90.9\ s$

Time taken to heat the aceton is 90.9 seconds
