(b) The equilibrant C for fx of vector A and B is 2.1 N.

(c) The equilibrant  C, for fy of vector A and B is 2.12 N.

What is equilibrant force?

An equilibrant force is a single force that will bring other bodies into equilibrium.

From configuration 1:

Vector A: mass = 0.2 kg, θ = 20⁰

Vector B: mass = 0.15 kg, θ = 80⁰

Fx = mg cosθ

Fy = mg sinθ

where;

m is mass g is acceleration due to gravity

Vector A

Force of A due to its weight

F(A) = mg

F(A) = 0.2 x 9.8 = 1.96 N

Fx = (0.2 x 9.8) cos(20) = 1.84 N

Fy = (0.2 x 9.8) sin(20) = 0.67 N

Resultant force

R = √(0.67² + 1.84²)

R = 1.96 N

Vector B

Force of B due to its weight

F(B) = mg

F(B) = 0.15 x 9.8

F(B) = 1.47 N

Fx = (0.15 x 9.8) cos(80) = 0.26 N

Fy = (0.15 x 9.8) sin(80) = 1.45 N

R= 1.47 N

Equilibrant  C of vector A and B

Equilibrant force:

Force, C = 1.96 N + 1.47 N

Force, C = 3.43 N

Equilibrant FX:

Fx, C = Fx(A) + Fx(B)

Fx, C = 1.84 N + 0.26 N = 2.1 N

A metallic spoon is placed in a hot cup of coffee. If the coffee gives away 190 calories to the spoon to cool down by 0.75°C, what is the mass of the coffee? (Assume that ccoffee = 1.0 cal/gC°.)

Answers

Taking into account the definition of calorimetry,  the mass of the coffee is 253.33 g.

Calorimetry

Calorimetry is the measurement and calculation of the amounts of heat exchanged by a body or a system.

Sensible heat is defined as the amount of heat that a body absorbs or releases without any changes in its physical state (phase change).

So, the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

Q = c× m× ΔT

where:

Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m.c is the specific heat sudstance.ΔT is the temperature variation.

Mass of coffee

In this case, you know:

Q= 190 caloriesc= 1 [tex]\frac{cal}{gC}[/tex]m= ?ΔT= 0.75 C

Replacing in the equation that allows to calculate heat exchanges is:

190 cal = 1 [tex]\frac{cal}{gC}[/tex]× m× 0.75 C

Solving:

m= 190 cal÷ (1 [tex]\frac{cal}{gC}[/tex]× 0.75 C)

m=253.33 g

Finally, the mass of the coffee is 253.33 g.

Answers

The weight of an object on pluto will be 15.56. Mass multiplied by the gravitational acceleration gives weight.

What is gravitation?

Gravitation is a natural law by which all things with all matter are attracted towards one another. Gravity is responsible for large-scale structures present in the Universe.

By dividing the object's weight on Earth by 9.8 m/s², as illustrated below, one may calculate the object's mass.

m = 250 N / 9.8 m/s²

m = 25.51 kg

Multiply the acquired mass by Pluto's gravitational acceleration (g);

W = (25.51 kg) x (0.61 m/s²)  

W = 15.56 N

Thus, the item will only be 15.56 N in weight.

Answers

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at 32.0 m/s is 348.3 m.

Acceleration of the car

The acceleration of the car before stopping at the given distance is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2as

when the car stops, v = 0

0 = u² + 2as

0 = 15² + 2(76.5)a

0 = 225 + 153a

-a = 225/153

a = - 1.47 m/s²

Distance traveled when the speed is 32 m/s

If the same force is applied, then acceleration is constant.

v² = u² + 2as

Answers

Answer:

Something which occupies space and have mass.

What is matter? That’s a good question. Matter is a physical substance that is comprised of various particles, occupies volume, and has inertia. We live off of matter; matter is what makes up everything of our surroundings, from oxygen to water to dirt. Matter comes in three primary states, which are solids, liquids, and gases. These states of matter are all interchangeable and we encounter them every day. An example of a solid would be a rock. A rock is considered matter because it has mass, and it takes up space. An example of a liquid would be soda. Soda is considered matter because it has mass (despite being a liquid), and it takes up space. There also is a twist to liquids, and that is the interesting fact that they can obtain the shape of the host. Liquids do not have definite shape, meaning that their shape can change in accordance to what shape the holder or container is. Gases are considered matter because they take up space, and they have inertia. An example of a gas would be water vapor. Matter is all around us; whether or not we realize it, we are probably in physical contact with it this moment!

A 10 cm diameter pulley is used to lift a bucket of cement weighing 400 N. How much force must be applied to the rope to lift the bucket at the other end?​

Answers

hi brainly user! ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა

⊱┈────────────────────────┈⊰

[tex]\large \bold {ANSWER}[/tex]

Considering that the pulley is fixed, the force applied should be equal to the weight of the object - of 400N.

[tex]\large \bold {EXPLANATION}[/tex]

Pulleys or pulleys are mechanical tools used to assist in the movement of objects and bodies. There are two types of pulleys: fixed and movable. While the fixed pulley changes the direction of force, the moving pulley helps to decrease the force needed to move the object or body in question.

As the statement only tells us a pulley, we must consider that it is fixed, because generally when it is mobile, this information is highlighted in the question.

In this way, a fixed pulley only changes the direction of the applied force. Thus, the force must have the same magnitude as the weight of the object to be moved. If the bucket weighs 400N, the force applied to the pulley must be 400N.

Therefore, having a fixed pulley, the force applied must be equal to the weight of the object, and will be 400N.

Given is a small mass m slides with negligible friction down an incline at an angle of 25.76° with respect to the horizontal. It then drops down to a horizontal surface and bounces elastically back up as shown.

The picture shows the position of the mass at equal time intervals starting from rest at T. The height of the mass at X is the same as at V.

Between T to S and S to R, the mass is under constant acceleration. Time taken to move from T to S is greater than S to R. Thus, the speed change between T and S is greater than between S and R.

At Q, there is only a horizontal velocity component, but at X. the speed will be greater and has both vertical and horizontal component. Thus, the speed of m at X is greater than that at Q.

Force is given as the rate of change of momentum with time. At U, change in momentum is large compared to P. Thus, the size of the total force on m at P is less at U.

There is no friction acting on the system. So the energy remains conserved. Mechanical energy at P = V.

The force on mass m at S is only the gravity force. The remaining forces are cancelled by the normal force. Thus, size of the total force on m at S is greater at P.

The energy is conserved at each point of motion of mass. If X and V are at same height, they have same potential energy and so their kinetic energy. Thus, velocity of m at X is equal to that at V.

Half-life problems are modeled as exponential equations.  The half-life formula is [tex]P=P_o\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{k}}[/tex] where [tex]P_o[/tex] is the initial amount, [tex]k[/tex] is the length of the half-life, [tex]t[/tex] is the amount of time that has elapsed since the initial measurement was taken, and [tex]P[/tex] is the amount that remains at time [tex]t[/tex].

[tex]P=14.2\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{8.0252}}[/tex]

Deriving the half-life formula

If one forgets the half-life formula, one can derive an equivalent equation by recalling the basic an exponential equation, [tex]y=a b^{t}[/tex], where [tex]t[/tex] is still the amount of time, and [tex]y[/tex] is the amount remaining at time [tex]t[/tex].  The constants a and b can be solved for as follows:

Knowing that amount initially is 14.2g, we let this be time zero:

[tex]y=a b^{t}[/tex]

[tex](14.2)=ab^{(0)}[/tex]

[tex]14.2=a *1[/tex]

[tex]14.2=a[/tex]

So, [tex]a=14.2[/tex], which represents out initial amount of the substance, and our equation becomes: [tex]y=14.2 b^{t}[/tex]

Knowing that the "half-life" is 8.0252 days (note that the unit here is "days", so times for all future uses of this equation must be in "days"), we know that the amount remaining after that time will be one-half of what we started with:

[tex]\left(\frac{1}{2} *14.2 \right)=14.2 b^{(8.0252)}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{7.1}{14.2}=\dfrac{14.2 b^{8.0252}}{14.2}[/tex]

[tex]0.5=b^{8.0252}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[8.0252]{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt[8.0252]{b^{8.0252}}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[8.0252]{\frac{1}{2}}=b[/tex]

Recalling exponent properties, one could find that  [tex]\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{\frac{1}{8.0252}}=b[/tex], which will give the equation identical to the half-life formula.  However, recalling this trivia about exponent properties is not necessary to solve this problem.  One can just evaluate the radical in a calculator:

[tex]b=0.9172535661...[/tex]

Using this decimal approximation has advantages (don't have to remember the half-life formula & don't have to remember as many exponent properties), but one minor disadvantage (need to keep more decimal places to reduce rounding error).

So, our general equation derived from the basic exponential function is:

[tex]y=14.2* (0.9172535661)^t[/tex]  or [tex]y=14.2*(0.5)^{\frac{t}{8.0252}}[/tex] where y represents the amount remaining at time t.

Solving for the amount remaining

With the equation set up, substitute the amount of time it takes to cross the Pacific to solve for the amount remaining:

[tex]y=14.2* (0.9172535661)^{(31.8)}[/tex]          [tex]y=14.2*(0.5)^{\frac{(31.8)}{8.0252}}[/tex]

[tex]y=14.2* 0.0641450581[/tex]                    [tex]y=14.2*(0.5)^{3.962518068}[/tex]

[tex]y=0.9108598257[/tex]                              [tex]y=14.2* 0.0641450581[/tex]

                                                        [tex]y=0.9108598257[/tex]

Since both the initial amount of Iodine, and the amount of time were given to 3 significant figures, the amount remaining after 31.8days is 0.911g.
