A 500 N force accelerates an object at 20 m s-2. What is its mass?

Physics
1 answer:
avanturin [10]2 years ago
8 0

<u>Answer</u>: The mass of the object is 25kg.

The given question deals with Newton's second law of motion and its applications.

<u>Explanation:</u> Given force, F=500N

                                 acceleration, a=20 m/s^{2}

  From Newton's 2nd law of motion , we have

                             F=ma where m=mass of the object

                         ⇒500=m×20

                         ⇒m=500/20=25

                 ∴ Mass of the object is 25 kg .

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 2.20×106 N , one at an angle 15.0 ∘ west of north,
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker is 3.44 *10^9 J

Explanation:

The force by the tugboats acting on the supertanker is constant and the displacement of the supertanker is along a straight line.

The angle between the 2 forces and displacement is ∅ = 15°.

First we have to calculate the work done by the individual force and then we can calculate the total work.

The work done on a particle by a constant force F during a straight line displacement s is given by following formula:

W = F*s

W = F*s*cos∅

With ∅ = the angles between F and s

The magnitude of the force acting on the supertanker is F of tugboat1 = F of tugboat 2 = F = 2.2 * 10^6 N

The total work done can be calculated as followed:

Wtotal = Ftugboat1 s * cos ∅1 + Ftugboat2 s* cos ∅2

Wtotal = 2Fs*cos∅

Wtotal = 2*2.2*10^6 N * 0.81 *10³ m s *cos15°

Wtotal = 3.44*10^9 Nm = <u>3.44 *10^9 J</u>

<u />

The total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker is 3.44 *10^9 J

A person weighing 0.9 kN rides in an elevator that has a downward acceleration of 1.9 m/s^2. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 0.7255kN

Explanation:

The elevator floor acts on the person with a force that is due to the gravitational acceleration less the downward acceleration of the elevator:

(force of floor F) = (mass of person m) x [ (grav. acceleration g) - (elevator acceleration a) ]

in other words, considering the elevator floor as a reference frame in the Earth's gravitational field, the person's weight decreases due to the downward acceleration, as follows:

F = m\cdot(g-a)

We are given the person's weight at rest, 0.9kN, from which the mass can be determined as:

900 N = m\cdot g \implies m = \frac{900N}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}}

So

F = \frac{900N}{9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}}\cdot(9.8-1.9)\frac{m}{s^2}\approx 725.5N=0.7255kN

a 4kg box is resting on top of a shelf that is 2m high, what is the boxs gravitational potential relative to the floor​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

80 J

Explanation:

PE = mgh

PE = (4 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m)

PE = 78.4 J and with sig figs, it would be 80 J

As you learned in Part B, a non-burning helium core surrounded by a shell of hydrogen-burning gas characterizes the subgiant sta
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

E- The star becomes a red giant (LATEST STAGE)

F- The surface of the star becomes brighter and cooler

C- Pressure from the star's hydrogen-burning shell causes the non burning envelope to expand

A- The shell of hydrogen surrounding the star's nonburning helium core ignites.

D- The star's non burning helium core starts to contract and heat up

B- Pressure in the star's core decreases (EARLIEST STAGE)

(A star moves away from the main sequence once its core runs out of hydrogen to fuse into helium. The energy once supplied by hydrogen burning reduces and the core starts to compress under the force of gravity. This contraction allows the core and surrounding layers to heat up. Finally, the hydrogen shell around the core becomes hot enough to ignite hydrogen burning.
