Force required to move a block is 1.615 N

Given:

mass of block = m = 150 pounds = 68 kg

distance = d = 5 ft = 1.52 metres

time = t = 8 sec

To Find:

force required to move the block

Solution: Force is defined as product of mass and acceleration and it's unit is N or Newton.

Velocity = displacement/ time = 1.52 / 8 = 0.19 m/s

Acceleration = velocity/time = 0.19/8 =

0.023 m/s^2

Force = mass x acceleration = 68x0.023 = 1.615 N

Hence, force required to move the block is 1.615 N

What force is necessary to accelerate a 2500 kg care from rest to 20 m/s over 10 seconds?

EleoNora [17]

Force = mass x acceleration
force = 2500kg x (20m/s / 10m/s)
force = 2500kg x 2m/s^2
force = 5000kg m/s^2 = 5kN

i hope this is right (^^)

A Bullet Off mass 100 gm is fired From A Gun Off mass 5 Kg. If the backward velocity of the gun's 5 m / s, what is forward veloc

Elena L [17]

Answer:

250 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the bullet, m₁ = 100 g = 0.1 kg

The mass of the gun, m₂ = 5 kg

The backward velocity of the gun, v₂ = -5 m/s

Given that the momentum is conserved, we have;

The total initial momentum = The total final momentum

The gun and the bullet are at rest, therefore, we have;

The initial momentum = 0

The total final momentum = m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂

Where;

v₁ = The forward velocity of the bullet

Therefore, we get;

m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂ = 0

0.1 kg × v₁ + 5 kg × (-5 m/s) = 0

0.1 kg × v₁ = 5 kg × 5 m/s

v₁ = (5 kg × 5 m/s)/(0.1 kg) = 250 m/s

The forward velocity of the bullet, v₁ = 250 m/s

The direction of deflection of an electron beam in a magnetic field can be determined by which of the following?

amid [387]

Answer:

Right Hand Rule

Explanation:

When a charged particle travels in a magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude is given by:

$F=qvBsin\theta$

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field strength

$\theta$ is the angle between the directions of v and B

The direction of the force can be determined by using the Right Hand Rule, as follows:

- index finger: this should be put in the direction of the velocity

- middle finger: this should be put in the direction of the magnetic field

- thumb: this will give the direction of the force -> however, for a negative charge (as the electron) the direction must be reversed, so it will be opposite.
