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.

Is the term used to describe an object with enough orbital energy to escape earth completely?
Komok [63]
Escape velocity describes its speed. It becomes a satellite instead of falling back to earth because as it falls under Earth’s gravity the Earth has moved so the satellite falls around the planet instead of down to the ground.

A mouse runs along a baseboard in your house. The mouse's position as a function of time is given by x(t)=pt 2+qt, with p = 0.36
Semmy [17]

Answer: the average speed of the rat from the information given above is 0.7m/s

Explanation:

position is given as

x(t) = pt² + qt

finding the diffencial of x(t) with respect to t, we have

d(x(t))/dt = 2pt + q

we substitute the p = 0.36m/s² and q= -1.10 m/s

d(x(t))/dt = 2(0.36)t + (-1.10)

so, at t= 1s

d(x(t))/dt = 2*(0.36)*1 - 1.1 = 0.72 - 1.1 = -0.38m/s

at t= 4s

d(x(t))/dt = 2*(0.36)*4 - 1.10 = 2.88 - 1.10 = 1.78 m/s

To find the average speed,

average speed = (V1 + V2)/ 2

average speed = (1.78 + (-0.38))/2 = 0.7m/s

Acceleration is positive when you are speeding up.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

B Negative

Explanation:

Its negative because when your going 25 mph your moving faster and when your coming up to the stop sign you will start to slow down going 10 mph then 0 mph when you reach the stop sign so it will be negative.
