A car has a mass of 1600 kg. It is stuck in the snow and is being pulled out by a cable that applies a force of 7560 N due north

. The resistance of the snow and mud also applies a force to the car, which has a magnitude of 7340 N and points due south. What is the acceleration of the car?

Answer:

Acceleration of the car will be $a=0.1375m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given mass of the ball m = 1600 kg

Force in north direction F= 7560 N

Resistance force which opposes the movement of car $F_R=7340N$

So net force on the car $F_{net}=F-F_R=7560-7340=220N$

According to second law of motion we know that F=ma

So $220=1600\times a$

$a=0.1375m/sec^2$

Complete Question

The complete question is is shown on the first uploaded

Answer:

The elastic potential energy at point B is $PE_{elastic} = 50J$

The kinetic energy at point D is $KE = 75J$

Explanation:

Looking at the given point we can observe that mechanically energy(i.e potential and kinetic energy ) is conserved and it value is $E_ {m} = 100J$

So at point B

$E_{m} = PE_{elastic} +KE$

$100 = PE_{elastic} + KE$

KE at point B is 50J

So $PE_{elastic} = 100 - 50 = 50J$

Now at point D

$E_{m} = PE_{elastic} +KE$

$PE_{elastic}$ at point D is 25J

So $KE = 100 - 25 = 75J$

A harmonic wave travels in the positive x direction at 6 m/s along a taught string. A fixed point on the string oscillates as a

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Amplitude, A = 0.049 meters

Explanation:

Given that,

A harmonic wave travels in the positive x direction at 6 m/s along a taught string. A fixed point on the string oscillates as a function of time according to the equation :

$y = 0.049 \cos(7t)$ .......(1)

The general equation of a wave is given by :

$y=A\cos(\omega t)$ .......(2)

A is amplitude of wave

On comparing equation (1) and (2) we get :

A = 0.049 meters

So, the amplitude of the wave is 0.049 meters.

At a local swimming pool, the diving board is elevated h = 5.5 m above the pool's surface and overhangs the pool edge by L = 2 m

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

$t = 1.06 s$

Part c)

$L = 4.86 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

The height of the diving board is given as

$h = 5.5 m$

now the speed of the diver is given as

$v_0 = 2.7 m/s$

when the diver will jump into the water then his displacement in vertical direction is same as that of height of diving board

So we will have

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

plug in the values in the above equation

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2(5.5 m)}{9.81}$

$t = 1.06 s$

Part c)

Horizontal distance moved by the diver is given as

$d = v_0 t$

$d = 2.7 \times 1.06$

$d = 2.86 m$

so the distance from the edge of the pool is given as

$L = 2.86 + 2$

$L = 4.86 m$

The human heart is a powerful and extremely reliable pump. Each day it takes in and discharges about 7500 L of blood. Assume tha

gregori [183]

The answers are:

a) $Work=125,923.61J$

b) $Power=1.46watt$

Why?

It seems that you forgot to write the questions of the problem, however, in order to help you, I will try to complete it.

The questions are:

a) How much work does the heart do in a day?

b) What is its power output in watts?

So, solving we have:

We need to convert from liter to cubic meters in order to use the given information, so:

$1L=0.001m^{3}\\\\7500L*\frac{0.001m^{3} }{1L}=7.5m^{3}$

Also, we need to find the mass given the density of the blood.

$1050}\frac{kg}{m^{3}}*7.5m^{3}=7875kg$

Now, calculating how much work does the heart do in a day, we have:

$Work=Fd=mgh\\\\Work=7875kg*9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}*1.63m=125,923.61J$

Then, calculating what is the power output and its horsepower, we have:

$Power=\frac{Work}{time}\\\\Power=\frac{125,923.61J}{86,400s}=1.46watt$

Have a nice day!

Substance X is placed in a container with substance Y. Both substances are fluids. Substance X initially sinks to the bottom of

Brut [27]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is a process in which heat transfers from a hotter substance to a colder substance.

As a result, the substance which is less dense will rise and the more denser substance will sink due to the influence of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation substance X will rise due to convection.
