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 travel in a car 30 miles north to ava and home again. what is your distance? __________________________________________ what
Luden [163]
If you travel 30 miles somewhere and then come home again your distance is 60 miles.  Your displacement is 0 because it is the ending position minus the beginning position, which are the same place (home).  In other words, displacement is a vector and distance is a scalar.

A 15-turn circular wire loop with a radius of 3.0 cm is initially in a uniform magnetic field with a strength of 0.5 T. The fiel
lana66690 [7]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the definition given in Faraday's law in a solenoid for which it is noted that

\epsilon = - d\frac{\phi_B}{dt}

\epsilon = -NA\frac{dB}{dt}

Where,

N = Number of loops

A = Cross sectional Area

B = Magnetic Field

\epsilon = (15)(\pi(0.03)^2)\frac{0-0.5}{0.1}

\epsilon = 0.212V

\epsilon = 0.21V

Therefore the correct answer is A.

Vladimir79 [104]

E)  Biotechnology use can lead to an increase in soil erosion and pollution runoff through decreased pesticide use.

Explanation:

Biotechnology use cannot lead to an increase in soil erosion and pollution runoff through decreased pesticide use.

There is no relationship between biotechnology use and increase soil erosion and pollution run off.

Biotechnology involves the application of technology based on living things.
