An unknown force is applied to a 12 kg mass. The force acts at an angle of 30.0 degrees above the horizontal. Determine the forc

e acting if the force acts for a horizontal displacement of 22 meters and increases the 12 kg mass's speed from 11 m/s to 26 m/s.

The mass undergoes a change in kinetic energy of

∆K = 1/2 (12 kg) [(26 m/s)² - (11 m/s)²] = 3330 J

By the work-energy theorem, the total work W performed on the mass is equal to ∆K. Assuming no friction, only the horizontal component of the applied force performs work on the mass.

Let F be the magnitude of this force, so that its horizontal component has mag. F cos(30.0°) = √3/2 F. It acts over a displacement of 22 m and performs 3330 J of work in the process, so that

3330 J = (√3/2 F) (22 m)   ⇒   F = 1110√3/11 N ≈ 175 N

What is the magnitude of force required to accelerate a car of mass 1.7 * 10 ^ 3 kg by 4.75 m/s
Gnesinka [82]

What is the magnitude of force required to accelerate a car of mass 1.7 × 10³ kg by 4.75 m/s²

Answer:

F = 8.075 N

Explanation:

Formula for force is;

F = ma

Where;

m is mass

a is acceleration

F = 1.7 × 10³ × 4.75

F = 8.075 N

What upward gravitational force does a 5600kg elephant exert on the earth?
Anastaziya [24]
Force is determined by multiplying mass and gravity (F= mg). To determine the answer, the mass of the elephant (5600 kg) is multiplied with the gravity (9.8 m/s²). The answer is 5800 N. This is the upward gravitational force that the elephant exerts on the earth.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

D. move up to another shell that would form

Explanation:

An atom has protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus and electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed shells. An electron can jump to higher shell when it gains energy and lower one when it loses energy. Thus, when single electron in hydrogen atom is given a small amount of energy, it would jump to another higher shell.
