A 10 N force is applied to a 2 kg mass, how fast will it be going in 10 seconds

1 answer:

5 0

Since
Force (weight) = mass x acceleration (gravity)

To determine acceleration, the formula will be:
Acceleration = Force / mass

Given are:
F = 10 N
M = 2kg
A = ?

Solution:

1. A = F/M
2. A = 10 kg*m/s2 / 2kg
3. A = 5 m/s2

Suppose you are helping Galileo measure the acceleration due to gravity by dropping a canon ball from the tower of Pisa, You mea

Anni [7]

It is given that the height of the tower is

$h=183 ft.$

The uncertainty the measurement of this height is

$\Delta h=0.2 ft$

Drop time is measured as:

$t=3.5s$

The uncertainty in measurement of time is:

$\Delta t=0.5 s$

Using the equation of motion: $h=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ where, $h$ is the distance covered, $u$ is the initial velocity, $a$ is the acceleration and $t$ is the time.

$u=0$ (because canon ball is in free fall). we need to calculate the value of a=g.

$\Rightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$\Rightarrow g=\frac{2h}{t^2}\\ \Rightarrow g=\frac{2\times 183ft}{(3.5s)^2}=29.87 ft/s^2$

The uncertainty in this value is given by:

$\Delta g=g\sqrt{(\frac{\Delta h}{h})^2+(\frac{2\Delta t}{t})^2}$

Substitute the values:

$\Delta g=29.87\sqrt{(\frac{0.2 }{183})^2+(\frac{2\times 0.5}{3.5})^2}=29.87\sqrt{1.19\times 10^{-6}+0.08}=29.87\times \sqrt{0.08}=29.87\times 0.28=8.44 ft/s^2$

an object that is 8 cm tall is located 2.5 m in front of a plane mirror. The image formed by the mirror appears to be. Find di a

UkoKoshka [18]

The image is at 2.5 m behind the mirror (virtual image)

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the mirror equation:

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{d_o}+\frac{1}{d_i}$

where

f is the focal length of the mirror

$d_o$ is the distance between the object and the mirror

$d_i$ is the distance between the image and the mirror

For a plane mirror, the focal length is infinite:

$f=\infty$

And in this problem, the distance of the object from the mirror is

$d_o = 2.5 m$

Substituting and solving for $d_i$ , we find the location of the image:

$0=\frac{1}{d_o}+\frac{1}{d_i}\\d_i = -d_o = -2.5 m$

And the negative sign means that the image is located behind the mirror, so it is virtual.

A batter swings at a baseball. The action force is the bat hitting the ball with a force of 5N. What is the reaction force?

stepan [7]

According to Newtons third law the force of action has an equal and opposite reaction. So if the force of the bat hitting the ball is equal to 5 N, then reaction force of the ball has to be 5 N as well. So the correct answer is: the reaction force is equal to 5 N.
