The van accelerates at 2.2m/s^2. The force causing the acceleration is 5.5 kN. Calculate the mass of the van

1 answer:

8 0

The mass of the van will be 2.5 kg, Mass is found as the ratio of the force and the acceleration.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is defined as the push or pull applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body.

Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

F=ma

5.5 kN = m × 2.2m/s²

m= 2.5 kg

Hence,the mass of the van will be 2.5 kg,

Answer:

Explanation:

s = ut+ 0.5at²

u = 0

t = 6

a = 9.81

s = 0 + 0.5 * 9.81 * 36 = 176.58 m

v = u + at

v = 9.81* 36 = 353 m/s

andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force, $F=(-8\ N)i+(6\ N)j$

Position vector, $r=(3i+4j)\ m$

(a) The torque on the particle about the origin is given by :

$\tau=F\times r\\\\\tau=(-8i+6j)\times (3i+4j)\\\\\tau=(-50k)\ N-m$

(b) To find the angle between r and F use dot product formula as :

$F{\cdot} r=|F||r|\ \cos\theta\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{F{\cdot} r}{|F| |r|}\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{(-8i+6j){\cdot} (3i+4j)}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{-24+24}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=0\\\\\theta=90^{\circ}$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer: C

Combustion

Explanation:

Oxygen support combustion in a chemical reaction. Oxygen support burning.

In the absence of oxygen, combustion reaction can never take place. And when the supply of oxygen is being cut off, combustion reaction will automatically stop.

The correct option is C which is combustion

Which mathematical formula would you use to calculate the IMA of a wheel?

Crazy boy [7]

As shown in the figure, the ideal mechanical advantage is calculated by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle. Any crank-operated device is an example of a wheel and axle. Force applied to a wheel exerts a force on its axle.
