A 100-kg running back runs at 5 m/s into a stationary linebacker. It takes 0.5 s for the running back to be completely stopped.
Elza [17]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

First, we need to find the deceleration of the running back, which is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 0 is his final velocity

u = 5 m/s is his initial velocity

t = 0.5 s is the time taken

Substituting, we have

a=\frac{0-5 m/s}{0.5 s}=-10 m/s^2

And now we can calculate the force exerted on the running back, by using Newton's second law:

F=ma=(100 kg)(-10 m/s^2)=-1000 N

so, the magnitude of the force is 1000 N.

The magnitude of the tidal force between the International Space Station (ISS) and a nearby astronaut on a spacewalk is approxim
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

F = 4.47 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

The expression they give for the strength of the tide is

      F = 2 G m M a / r³

Where G has a value of 6.67 10⁻¹¹ N m² / kg² and M which is the mass of the Earth is worth 5.98 10²⁴ kg

They ask us to perform the calculation

      F = 2 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 135  5.98 10²⁴ 13 / (6.79 10⁶)³

      F = 4.47 10⁻⁶ N

This force is directed in the single line at the astronaut's mass centers and the space station

I need to know the right answer to that question
ad-work [718]
The answer is C 8.87*10^4 m/s (it shouldn't be m/s^2 though as velocity is in m/s)

Since you know the acceleration is 12 m/s^2, the initial velocity is 2.39*10^4 m/s and the time (you have to convert to seconds) is 5400 seconds, then you can use the equation

v = vo + at

When you plug in the values you get

v = 2.39*10^4 + 5400*12 . so v = 8.87*10^4 m/s. C is your answer.

Jimmy walks 3 miles east then 1 mile west. What is the distance Jimmy traveled?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

2 miles

Explanation:

Jimmy walked forward 3 miles east (to the right)

Then, he backtracked and walked 1 mile west (to the left)

This can be written as:

3 - 1 = ?

3 - 1 = 2

Therefore, Jimmy traveled a total of 2 miles.
