Answer:

$\boxed{Force \: on \: body = 60 \: N}$

Given:

Mass of body = 20 kg

Acceleration = 3 m/s²

Explanation:

Force = mass × acceleration

= 20 × 3

= 60 kg m/s² or 60 N

Hey!!

Solution,

Mass(m)=20kg

Acceleration due to gravity(g)=3 m/s^2

Force=?

Now,

Force=m*g

 = 20*3

 = 60 Newton

The force is 60 Newton 

Hope it helps

Good luck on your assignment..

A fat person weighing 80 Kg falls on a concrete floor from 2m. If whole of the mechanical energy is converted into heat energy,

sasho [114]

Answer:

The heat produced is 1568 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the person, m = 80 kg

The height from which the person falls, h = 2 m

Mechanical Energy, ME = Potential Energy, PE + Kinetic Energy, KE

At the height, from where the person falls, the initial velocity of the person = 0 m/s

Therefore;

The initial kinetic energy, K.E. = 1/2·m·v² = 1/2 × 80 kg × (0 m/s)² = 0 J

From which we have;

The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The initial Potential Energy, P.E. + 0 J

∴ The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The initial Potential Energy, P.E.

The initial Potential Energy, P.E. = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the person

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The initial Potential Energy, P.E. = 80 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 2 m = 1568 J

The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The initial Potential Energy, P.E. = 1568 J

The whole mechanical energy is converted into heat energy, therefore, we have;

The Mechanical Energy, M.E. = The heat energy = 1568 J

The heat produced = The heat energy = 1568 J.

Answer:

reduce passive stiffness and increase range of movement during exercise.

Explanation:

stretching performed as part of a warm up prior to exercise is thought to reduce passive stiffness and increase range of movement during exercise. in general it appears that is static stretching is most beneficial for athletes requiring flexibility for their sports.

You have a rock sample and analyze it for the presence of radioactive isotopes in order to determine when it was formed. You fin

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed , b) in rock time it is 1 108 years

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is given by

N = N₀ $e^{\lambda t}$

If half of the atoms have decayed

½ N₀ = N₀ $e^{\lambda t}$

½ = $e^{\lambda t}$ ₀

Ln 0.5 = - λ t

t = - ln 0.5 /λ

The definition of average life time is

$T_{1/2}$ = ln 2 / λ

λ = ln 2 / $T_{1/2}$

λ = 0.693 / 100 10⁶

λ = 0.693 10⁻⁸ years

We replace

t = -ln 0.5 / 0.693 10⁻⁸

t = 10⁸ years

We see that for the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed

b) in rock time it is 1 108 years
