Odd though it seems at first, gravity is pulling the cat down while the floor is pushing the cat up - in equal amounts. Forces are absolutely acting on the cat but they balance - so there is no net force.

A 1.2kg ball rolls forward with an acceleration of 1.11 m/s. What is the net force on the ball
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

1.332 N

Explanation:

Net Force = Mass x Acceleration
1.2 x 1.11 = 1.332 N

I'm so sorry if I'm wrong.

If a bust starts to move and its velocity becomes 90 km after 8 seconds . calculate its acceleration answer it quick please
kherson [118]

Answer:

a = 3.125 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of kinematics. But first, we have to convert the speed of 90 [km/h] to meters per second.

90\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}   \\= 25 \frac{m}{s}

v_{f} =v_{i} + (a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 25 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 0

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t  = time = 8 [s]

The initial speed is zero as the bus starts to koverse from rest. The positive sign of the equation means that the bus increases its speed.

25 = 0 + a*8

a = 3.125 [m/s^2]

Lee pushes horizontally with a force of 75 n on a 36 kg mass for 10 m across a floor. calculate the amount of work lee did. answ
svlad2 [7]
To find work, you use the equation: W = Force X Distance X Cos (0 degrees)
Following the Law of Conservation of Energy, energy cannot be destroyed nor created.

So you would do 75 N x 10m x Cos (0 degrees)= 750 J

an athlete in a hammer-throw event swings a 7.0-kilogram hammer in a horizontal circle at a constant speed of 12 meters per seco
Semenov [28]

Answer:

ac = 72 m/s²

Fc = 504 N

Explanation:

We can find the centripetal acceleration of the hammer by using the following formula:

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

where,

ac = centripetal acceleration = ?

v = constant speed = 12 m/s

r = radius = 2 m

Therefore,

a_c = \frac{(12\ m/s)^2}{2\ m}

<u>ac = 72 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

Now, the centripetal force applied by the athlete on the hammer will be:

F_c = ma_c\\F_c = (7\ kg)(72\ m/s^2)

<u>Fc = 504 N</u>
