Before the student releases the cart by cutting the tinsel string, what forces are acting on the cart?

Physics
1 answer:
Naya [18.7K]2 years ago

Answer: TENSION and WEIGHT

Explanation:

Force experienced by the spring is called TENSION while the WEIGHT is the gravitational pull on the body towards the earth surface. Therefore the forces acting on the cart are TENSION and WEIGHT(weight acts downwards (along negative y-axis) while the TENSION upward(along positive y-axis).

The Palo Verde nuclear power generator of Arizona has three reactors that have a combined generating capacity of 3.937×109 W . H
den301095 [7]

Answer:

t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years

Explanation:

First we need to find the amount of energy that Sun produce in one day.

Energy = Power * Time

Energy of Sun in 1 day = (3.839 x 10²⁶ W)(1 day)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

Energy of Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J

Now, the time required by the nuclear power generator, in years, will be:

Energy of power generator = Energy Sun in 1 day = 3.32 x 10³¹ J

3.32 x 10³¹ J = Power * Time

3.32 x 10³¹ J = (3.937 x 10⁹ W)(t years)(365 days/1 year)(24 hr/1 day)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

t = 3.32 x 10³¹ /1.24 x 10¹⁷

<u>t = 2.68 x 10¹⁴ years</u>

A block of mass 1.6 kg is attached to a horizontal spring that has a spring constant of 1,000 LaTeX: \frac{N}{m}N m. The spring
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

3.52 m/s

Explanation:

work done by the compressing the spring = 1/2 K e² where K is the force constant = 1000 N/m, e is the compression = 2cm = (2 / 100) to convert it to m we divide by 100  = 0.02 m

work done by compressing the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = 0.5 × 1000 × 0.02 = 10 J

work done by force of friction to hinder the motion = F × d = 4 × 0.02 m = 0.08 J

Kinetic energy of the body = work done by compressing the spring - work done by force of friction against the motion = 10 - 0.08 = 9.92

9.92 = 1/2 m v² where  m is the mass of the body which = 1.6 kg and v is the speed as it passes through the equilibrium point

9.92 = 1/2 × 1.6 × v²

9.92 × 2 / 1.6 = v²

v² = 19.84 / 1.6 = 12.4

v = √12.4 = 3.52 m/s

a 59kg physics student jumps off the back of her laser sailboat (42kg). after she jumps the laser is found to be travelling at 1
evablogger [386]

From the conservation of linear momentum of closed system,

Initial momentum = final momentum

Mass of the student, M = 59 kg

Mass of the laser boat, m = 42 kg

Initial speed of student + laser boat, u =0

Final speed of laser boat, v = 1.5 m/s

Final speed of the student = V

(M+m) u =M V +m v

0 = (59 kg) V + (42 kg) (1.5m/s)

V = - 1.06 m/s

Thus, the speed of the student is 1.06 m/s in the opposite direction of the motion of boat.

If two objects are electrically attracted to each other, 4) A) one object must be negatively charged and the other object must b
Drupady [299]

Answer:

option (a)

Explanation:

There are some properties of charge given as

(a) Charges are of two types: negative charge and positive charge.

(b) Like charges repel each other and unlike charges attract each other.

(c) charges are conserved in nature.

(d) charges are quarantined.

So, the two charges which are opposite in nature can only attract each other.

So, if there is one negative and one positive charge, they always attract each other.

The force of attraction or repulsion between the two charges is given by the Coulomb's law.
