A stack of books rests on a level frictionless surface. A force F acts on the stack, and it accelerates at 3.0 m/s2. A 1.0 kg bo

ok is then added to the stack. The same force is applied, and now the stack accelerates at 2.0 m/s2.

Answer:

m1 = 2 kg

m2 = 3kg

Explanation:

The force can be getting by

F = m * a

F1 = F2

a1 = 3.0 m/s^2

a2 = 2.0 m/s^2

The force F1=F2 because the force is applied so get the a2 acceleration

m1 * a1 = m2 * a2

m2 = m1 + 1kg

m1 *(3.0 m/s^2) = m2* (2.0 m/s^2)

m1 *(3.0 m/s^2) = (m1 + 1kg) * (2.0 m/s^2)

m1*(3.0m/s^2-2.0m/s^2)=2 kg*m/s^2

Solve to find the mass

m1 m/s^2= 2 kg*m/s^2

m1 = 2 kg

m2 = 3kg

A professor's office door is 0.89 m wide, 2.0 m high, and 4.0 cm thick; has a mass of 25 kg ; and pivots on frictionless hinges.
taurus [48]
In order to answer this question ... strange as it may seem ...
we only need one of those measurements that you gave us
that describe the door.

The door is hanging on frictionless hinges, and there's a torque
being applied to it that's trying to close it.  All we need to do is apply
an equal torque in the opposite direction, and the door doesn't move.

Obviously, in order for our force to have the most effect, we want
to hold the door at the outer edge, farthest from the hinges.  That
distance from the hinges is the width of the door ... 0.89 m.

We need to come up with 4.9 N-m of torque,
applied against the mechanical door-closer.

Torque is (force) x (distance from the hinge).

                                    4.9 N-m  =  (force) x (0.89 m) 

Divide each side by 0.89m:    Force = (4.9 N-m) / (0.89 m)

                                                             =  5.506 N .

A 125g steel ball with a kinetic energy of .25j rolls along a horizontal track how high up an inclined track will the ball roll
Sauron [17]
E = 0.25 = m*g*h 
<span>h = 0.25/(m*g) = 0.25/(0.125*10) = 0.25/1.25 = 1/5 = 0.20 m
I hope this helps you have a great day and im sorry it took so long to get an answer</span>

Consider a boat heading due east at 15 miles/hour. The water's current is moving at 7.1 miles/hour at 45º south of east. Drag ve
givi [52]

If a boat is going East at 15mph and there is a water current going southeast at 45° then the boat is being drifted southward.  So since the current is going at an angle then it has a x and y component.  So Rx refers to the x-component force of the current and Ry refers to the y-component of the current, and |R| refers to the magnitude of these forces.

A conducting sphere of radius 5.0 cm carries a net charge of 7.5 µC. What is the surface charge density on the sphere?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

\sigma=0.014\ C/m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The radius of sphere, r = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Net charge carries, q = 7.5 µC = 7.5 × 10⁻⁶ C

We need to find the surface charge density on the sphere. Net charge per unit area is called the surface charge density. So,

\sigma=\dfrac{7.5\times 10^{-6}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi \times (0.05)^3}\\\\=0.014\ C/m^2

So, the surface charge density on the sphere is 0.014\ C/m^2.

What is the final temperature when a 3.0 kg gold bar at 99 0C is dropped into 0.22 kg of water at 25oC?
slavikrds [6]

I will post my work, but is that 99 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius?


All you have to do is plug in the initial temperature for gold where it says Tg and the initial temperature for the water where it says Tw and then plug that in and you will have your answer.
