What is required to cause acceleration

2 answers:

Constant force. Basicly in no gravity you have to keep puching smth for it to accelerate and once you stop it just would remain at the same speed. On earth the fact that something is falling faster and faster means it keeps beeing constantly pulled by gravity so the same principle applies

Acceleration means any change in speed or direction of motion. Any of those requires force.

How much power does it take to lift a 30.0 n box 10.0 m high in 5.00 s, if you must apply a 62n force to lift the box?

Illusion [34]

Power is defined as the rate at which the body is doing work:
$P=\frac{W}{t}$
Work is defined as displacement done by the force times that displacement:
$W=F\cdot h$
We know that we need 62N to move the box, so when we apply this force along the path of 10m we have done:
$W=62N\cdot10m=620J$
of work.
Now we just divide that by 5s to get how much power is required:
$P=\frac{620J}{5s}=124W$

Object A has 27 J of kinetic energy. Object B has one-quarter the mass of object A.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

the final speed of object A changed by a factor of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$ = 0.58

the final speed of object B changed by a factor of $\sqrt{\frac{5}{3} }$ = 1.29

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of object A, = 27 J

let the mass of object A = $m_A$

then, the mass of object B = $m_B = \frac{m_A}{4}$

work done on object A = -18 J

work done on object B = -18 J

let $v_i$ be the initial speed

let $v_f$ be the final speed

For object A;

$K.E_A = 27\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A v_i^2 = 27\\\\m_A v_i^2 = 54\\\\m_A = \frac{54}{v_i^2} ----Equation \ (1)\\\\Apply \ work-energy \ theorem;\\\\\delta K.E_A = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A v_f^2 - \frac{1}{2} m_A v_i^2 = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2} m_A ( v_f^2 \ - v_i^2 )\ =- 18\\\\v_f^2 \ - v_i^2 = -\frac{36}{m_A} ---Equation \ (2)\\\\v_f^2 \ - v_i^2 = -\frac{36v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 \ =v_i^2 - \frac{36v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 = \frac{54v_i^2 -36v_i^2 }{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{18v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{v_i^2}{3} \\\\$

$v_f = \sqrt{\frac{v_i^2}{3} }\\\\v_f = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } \ v_i\\\\$

Thus, the final speed of object A changed by a factor of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} }$ = 0.58

To obtain the change in the final speed of object B, apply the following equations.

$K.E_B_i = \frac{1}{2} m_Bv_i^2\\\\m_B = \frac{m_A}{4} \\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_i^2\\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{m_Av_i^2}{8} \\\\But, \ m_Av_i^2 = 54 \\\\K.E_B_i = \frac{54}{8} \\\\Apply \ work-energy \ theorem ;\\\\\delta K.E = -18\\\\K.E_f -K.E_i = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2}m_Bv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2} m_Bv_i^2 = -18\\\\Recall \ m_B = \frac{m_A}{4} \\\\\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}(\frac{m_A}{4} )v_i^2 = -18\\\\\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{m_A}{4} (v_i^2 -v_f^2) = 18\\\\$

$\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{m_A}{4} (v_i^2 -v_f^2) = 18\\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 = \frac{8}{m_A} \times 18\\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 =\frac{144}{m_A} \\\\But , m_A = \frac{54}{v_i^2} \\\\v_i^2 -v_f^2 =\frac{144v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = v_i^2 - \frac{144v_i^2}{54}\\\\v_f^2 = \frac{54v_i^2-144v_i^2}{54}\\\\ v_f^2 = \frac{-90v_i^2}{54} \\\\v_f^2 = \frac{-5v_i^2}{3} \\\\|v_f| = \sqrt{\frac{5v_i^2}{3}} \\\\|v_f| = \sqrt{\frac{5}{3}} \ v_i$

Thus, the final speed of object B changed by a factor of $\sqrt{\frac{5}{3} }$ = 1.29

What can the magnetic field be used for

deff fn [24]

Answer:

the magnetic field can be used to make electricity

Explanation:

Moving a magnet around a coil of wire, or moving a coil of wire around a magnet, pushes the electrons in the wire and creates an electrical current. Electricity generators essentially convert kinetic energy (the energy of motion) into electrical energy
