The standard acceleration (at sea level and 45◦ latitude) due to gravity is 9.806 65 m/s2. What is the force needed to hold a ma

a) Remember Newton's second Law:

F = m*a

This means that the forces that is being exerted over an object is equal to the mass of the object times the acceleration that it has.

In this case, in order to hold the mass you need a force with the same magnitude but opposite direction to the gravitational force. The magnitude of this force would be the mass of the object times the gravitactional  acceleration:

F = 2kg*9.80665m/s² = 19.6133 N

b) Using again Newton's second Law, we can issolate mass from that equation:

m = F/a

Then, the mass that a force of 1N can support is equal to:

m = 1N/9.80665m/s² = 0.102 kg

The energy stored in a wooden log transforms when the log is burned. Which of the following explanations BEST describes how the
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

D. the amount of chemical energy equals the amount of heat and light energy.

Explanation:

Given that the first law of thermodynamics affirmed that energy is neither created nor destroyed however, it can be transformed from one form to another. In other words, while, during the transformation of energy, no energy is lost, the input energy is also equal to output energy.

Hence, the chemical energy stored in the log is EQUAL to the heat and light energy produced by burning.

A single slit, which is 0.050 mm wide, is illuminated by light of 550 nm wavelength. What is the angular separation between the
likoan [24]

Answer:

The separation between the first two minima on either side is 0.63 degrees.

Explanation:

A diffraction experiment consists on passing monochromatic light trough a small single slit, at some distance a light diffraction pattern is projected on a screen. The diffraction pattern consists on intercalated dark and bright fringes that are symmetric respect the center of the screen, the angular positions of the dark fringes θn can be find using the equation:

a\sin \theta_n=n\lambda

with a the width of the slit, n the number of the minimum and λ the wavelength of the incident light. We should find the position of the n=1 and n=2 minima above the central maximum because symmetry the angular positions of n=-1 and n=-2 that are the angular position of the minima below the central maximum, then:

for the first minimum

a\sin \theta_1=(1)\lambda

solving for θ1:

\theta_1=\arcsin (\frac{\lambda}{a})=\arcsin (\frac{550\times10^{-9}}{0.05\times10^{-3}})

\theta_1=0.63 degrees

for the second minimum:

a\sin \theta_2=(2)\lambda

\theta_2=\arcsin (\frac{2\lambda}{a})=\arcsin (\frac{2*550\times10^{-9}}{0.05\times10^{-3}})

\theta_2=1.26 degrees

So, the angular separation between them is the rest:

\Delta \theta =1.26-0.63

\Delta \theta=0.63

Students use a stretched elastic band to launch carts of known mass horizontally on a track. The elastic bands exert a force F,
rodikova [14]

Answer:

the correct answer is  E

A graph of the cart's maximum speed squared as a function of x^3

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law

        F = m a

force has the form

        F = k x²

and acceleration is related to velocity

        a = dv / dt

Let's use the chain rule or L'Hospital

        a = dv /dx   dx/dt

        a = dv /dx    v

let's substitute

     k x² = m v dv / dx

     k /m x² dx = v dv

we integrate

     k /m    x³ /3 = v² / 2

     v² = (2k /3m)   x³

This is the expression for the variation of the speed as a function of the position, to make a linear graph realism the changes of variable

      y = v²

     x´ = x³

       y = (2k/3m)  x´

if we graph y vs x 'we have a linear graph whose slope is

      m = 2k / 3m

By reviewing the different answers, the correct answer is  E

If period of the pendulum in preceding sample problem were 24s how tall would the tower be ?
frutty [35]

Answer:

So length of pendulum is 143.129 m

Explanation:

We have given period of simple pendulum is 2 sec

We have to find the length of simple pendulum

Let the length of pendulum is l

Acceleration due to gravityg=9.8m/sec^2 is

Time period is given by T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

So 24=2\times 3.14\times  \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.8}}

\sqrt{\frac{l}{9.8}}=3.821

Squaring both side

{\frac{l}{9.8}}=14.60

l =143.129 m

So length of pendulum is 143.129 m

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kgkg, inner radius 0.100 mm, and outer radius 0.200 mm is free to rotate without friction around
kipiarov [429]

Answer: 2.86 m

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, which is given by the equation,

ΔPE(i) + ΔKE(i) = ΔPE(f) + ΔKE(f)

In this question, it is safe to say there is no kinetic energy in the initial state, and neither is there potential energy in the end, so we have

mgh + 0 = 0 + KE(f)

To calculate the final kinetic energy, we must consider the energy contributed by the Inertia, so that we then have

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iw²

To get the inertia of the bodies, we use the formula

I = [m(R1² + R2²) / 2]

I = [2(0.2² + 0.1²) / 2]

I = 0.04 + 0.01

I = 0.05 kgm²

Also, the angular velocity is given by

w = v / R2

w = 4 / (1/5)

w = 20 rad/s

If we then substitute these values in the equation we have,

0.5 * 9.8 * h = (1/2 * 0.5 * 4²) + (1/2 * 0.05 * 20²)

4.9h = 4 + 10

4.9h = 14

h = 14 / 4.9

h = 2.86 m
