Can you help me understand force=mass x accleration

gavmur [86]

Force = mass * acceleration

Here is an equation for force, used to calculate force.

Look at it this way:-

Joules is used to measure force, while mass is measured by kg. Acceleration is measured by m/s/s (meters per second per second, or meters per second squared.)

joules = m/s/s * kg

Which makes everything fit in just right! :D

Answer:

$\pi 1 = \frac{h}{l}$

$\pi 2 =$ б / $l^2gp$

$\frac{h}{l} =$ Ф ( б / $l^2gp$ )

Explanation:

<u>Develop a suitable set of dimensionless parameters for this problem</u>

The set of dimensionless parameters for this problem is :

$\pi 1 = \frac{h}{l}$

$\pi 2 =$ б / $l^2gp$

$\frac{h}{l} =$ Ф ( б / $l^2gp$ )

and they are using the pi theorem, MLT systems

A hockey puck on a frozen pond is given an initial speed of 20.0 m/s. If the puck always remains on the ice and slides 115 m bef

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

μ_k = 0.1773

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial velocity;u = 20 m/s

Final velocity;v = 0 m/s (since it comes to rest)

Distance before coming to rest;s = 115 m

Let's find the acceleration using Newton's second law of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

Making a the subject, we have;

a = (v² - u²)/2s

Plugging relevant values;

a = (0² - 20²)/(2 × 115)

a = -400/230

a = -1.739 m/s²

From the question, the only force acting on the puck in the x direction is the force of friction. Since friction always opposes motion, we see that:

F_k = −ma - - - (1)

We also know that F_k is defined by;

F_k = μ_k•N

Where;

μ_k is coefficient of kinetic friction

N is normal force which is (mg)

Since gravity acts in the negative direction, the normal force will be positive.

Thus;

F_k = μ_k•mg - - - (2)

where g is acceleration due to gravity.

Thus,equating equation 1 and 2,we have;

−ma = μ_k•mg

m will cancel out to give;

-a = μ_k•g

μ_k = -a/g

g has a constant value of 9.81 m/s², so;

μ_k = - (-1.739/9.81)

μ_k = 0.1773

3. The velocity of sound is 332 m/s. Answer the following questions:

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

20 Hz, 20000 Hz

0.0166 m, 16.6 m

Explanation:

The minimum frequency that a human ear can hear is 20 Hz

The maximum frequency that a human ear can hear is 20000 Hz.

v = Velocity of sound = 332 m/s

Wavelength is given by

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{332}{20}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=16.6\ \text{m}$

The longest wavelength that can be heard by the human ear is 16.6 m

$\lambda=\dfrac{332}{20000}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.0166\ \text{m}$

The shortest wavelength that can be heard by the human ear is 0.0166 m.
