Can you help me understand force=mass x accleration

1 answer:

6 0

Force = mass * acceleration

Here is an equation for force, used to calculate force.

Look at it this way:-

Joules is used to measure force, while mass is measured by kg. Acceleration is measured by m/s/s (meters per second per second, or meters per second squared.)

joules = m/s/s * kg

Which makes everything fit in just right! :D

If only a green light shown on a bunny that has black and white fur, what would the bunny look like?

The white fur reflects all colors, so would appear green.
The black fur reflects no colors, so would still appear black.

By what factor is the intensity of sound at a rock concert louder than that of a whisper when the two intensity levels are 120 d

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The intensity of sound at rock concert is 10¹⁰ greater than that of a whisper.

Explanation:

The intensity of sound is given by;

$I(dB) = 10Log(\frac{I}{I_o} )$

where;

I is the intensity of the sound

I₀ is the threshold of sound intensity = 1 x 10⁻¹² W/m²

The intensity of sound at a rock concert

$120 = 10Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\12 = Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} = 10^{12}\\\\I = 1*10^{-12} *10^{12}\\\\I = 1*10^0\\\\I =1 \ W/m^2$

The intensity of sound of a whisper

$20 = 10Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\2 = Log(\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} )\\\\\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}} = 10^{2}\\\\I = 1*10^{-12} *10^{2}\\\\I = 1*10^{-10}\\\\I =10^{-10} \ W/m^2$

Thus, the intensity of sound at rock concert is 10¹⁰ greater than that of a whisper.

8) A racecar accelerates uniformly from 18.5 m/s to 46.1 m/s in 2.47 seconds. Determine the

Vlada [557]

8)Acceleration of the car is 11.17 m/s².

9) Acceleration of skater is 0.57 m/s².

10) The deceleration is 1.8 m/s².

11) The average acceleration of the sprinter is 2 m/s².

12) The velocity of the stroller after 4.75 minutes is 171 m/s.

13) The skier will be moving as 11 m/s speed.

14) 0.56 seconds is required by the rattle snake to reach the speed of 28 m/s from rest.

Answer:

Explanation:

8) Acceleration of the car is determined by finding the ratio of change in velocity to the time taken for the change in velocity. As here the initial velocity is 18.5 m/s and the final velocity is 46.1 m/s, then in 2.47 seconds, the acceleration is

Acceleration = (46.1-18.5)/2.47 = 11.17 m/s².

Acceleration of the car is 11.17 m/s².

9)Similarly, the acceleration of the skater with initial velocity zero to final velocity as 5.7 m/s in 10 seconds is

Acceleration = (5.7-0)/10=0.57 m/s².

So acceleration of skater is 0.57 m/s².

10) In this case, the shuttle bus is stopping so its speed is decreasing from high value to low value. This kind of acceleration related to the decrease in velocity is termed as deceleration as the value of acceleration will be coming as negative.

Acceleration = (0-9)/5=-1.8 m/s².

So the deceleration is 1.8 m/s².

11) Average acceleration of sprinter = (Final velocity-Initial velocity)/Time

Average acceleration = (7.5-5)/1.25=2 m/s².

So the average acceleration of the sprinter is 2 m/s².

12)Since the acceleration of the stroller is given as 0.6 m/s². And the initial velocity is given as zero. So for the time of 4.75 minutes, the velocity will be equal to the final velocity.

As per equations of motion,

v = u +at

As u =0, a = 0.6 m/s² and t = 4.75 ×60 s = 285 s

So v = 0.6×285 = 171 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the stroller after 4.75 minutes is 171 m/s.

13) Similarly, in this case, u = 0, a = 2.2 m/s² and t = 5 s

Then v = u+at=0+(2.2×5)=11 m/s

So the skier will be moving as 11 m/s speed.

14) Here a = 50 m/s² and v = 28 m/s with u = 0 so time taken to reach the speed of 28 m/s is

v = u +at = 0+ (50 t)

28 = 50 t

t = 28/50 = 0.56 s
