Answer:

F = 2.5 N

Explanation:

Because the sheet of paper moves with a uniformly accelerated movement, we apply the following formulas:

vf= v₀+at Formula (1)

Where:  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s  

vf: final speed in m/s  

a: acceleration in m/s²

We apply Newton's second law:

F=m*a Formula (2)

F ; Force (N)

m: mass  (kg)

a: acceleration  (m/s² )

Problem development

We calculate the acceleration using the formula (1):

vf= v₀+at   v₀ = 0, vf = 25 m/s ,  t= 0.05 s

vf-v₀ = at

a =  (vf -v₀ ) /(t)

a = (25 -0)/(0.05)

a = 500 m/s²

We calculater the force exerted by the boxer on the sheet of paper (F) using formula (2):

F= m*a

F= 0.005 kg*500 m/s²

F = 2.5 N

Ok, so you've got to figure out a force F and you have the speed in which the boxer punches on determinate time and the mass of the sheet of paper.

So based on the formula that says that the Force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration => F=ma.
You look at it and see that you only have mass which is measured on KG so there is no problem.
then you have the acceleration which is measured on meters and is defined by: a = Δv/Δt 
So now you can replace the velocity and the time you have there
⇒ a 25m/s / 0.05s 
you have computing that ⇒ 50m because the seconds were cancelled out.
and then you plug the meters into the force equation.
F=(0.005kg)(50)
F=0.25N
so the boxer will have a force of 0.25 Newton's.

You toss a ball in the air. what is the work done by gravity as the ball goes up?

Answer: Gravity slows the ball down as it goes up and eventually stops it from going up and starts to pull it back down to earth.

A 71-kg swimmer dives horizontally off a 500-kg raft. If the diver's speed immediately after leaving the raft is 6m/s, what is t
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Momentum is used to measure the quantity of motion in an object. Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Momentum = mass * velocity

The principle of conservation of momentum states that momentum cannot be created or destroyed but  can be transferred. Therefore the momentum before and after an action is equal.

Initial momentum = Final momentum

Let m be the mass of the diver, M be the mass of the raft, u be the initial velocity of the diver, U be the initial velocity of the raft, v be the final velocity of the diver and V be the final velocity of the raft.

m = 71 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 6 m/s

Initial both the raft and diver are at rest, hence u and U is zero, hence:

mu + MU = mv + MV

71(0) + 500(0) = 71(6) + 500(V)

0 = 426 + 500(V)

500(V) = -426

V = -426/500

V = -0.852 m/s

Sati [7]

Answer:

A., the variables have a direct relationship.

Explanation:

As K rises, L rises.

It's not B. because one isn't rising as the other is lowering.

It's not C. because undefined would be a vertical line.
