Hi there!

We can use Newton's Second Law:
$\Sigma F = ma$

ΣF = Net force (N)
m = mass (kg)
a = acceleration (m/s²)

We can rearrange the equation to solve for the acceleration.

$a = \frac{\Sigma F}{m}\\\\a = \frac{24}{4} = \boxed{6 \frac{m}{s^2}}$

A jet plane flying 600 m/s experiences an acceleration of 4g when pulling out of the dive. What is the radius of curvature of th

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

The radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the jet plane, v = 600 m/s

acceleration of the jet plane, a = 4g = 4 x 9.8 m/s² = 39.2 m/s²

The radius of the curve is calculated from centripetal acceleration formula as given below;

$a = \frac{v^2}{r} \\\\r = \frac{v^2}{a} \\\\r = \frac{600^2}{39.2} \\\\r = 9,183.67 \ m$

Therefore, the radius of the curve is 9,183.67 m.

An entertainer pulls a table cloth off a table leaving behind the plates and sliverware undisturbed is an example of

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

D. Newton's first law

Explanation:

Newton's first law of inertia says that an object will remain how it is, unless affected by an outside force. In this case, the plates want to remain stationary(not moving). Therefore, if you pull the table cloth fast enough, the force of friction produced will be small enough so that the Inertia of the plates will overcome the force of friction.

A rollercoaster car has 2500 J of potential energy and 160 J of

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

E_{k2}=2660 [J] kinetic energy.

Explanation:

The energy in the initial state i.e. when the rollercoaster is at the top is equal to the energy in the final state i.e. when it is at the bottom of the hill.

These states can be represented by means of the second equation.

$E_{k1}+E_{p1}=E_{k2}\\160 + 2500 = E_{k2}\\E_{k2}=2660 [J]$

Since the rollercoaster is located in the bottom of the hill where the potential energy level is zero, therefore there is only kinetic energy in the second state.
