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.

Question 33
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

A. The waves in the water travel faster and at a higher frequency than they travel on land.

Explanation:

The main reason why human ears can hear dolphins' vocalizations while under the water but cannot hear them well on land is because water is denser than air and air particles travel faster in denser particles.

Denser particles also ensures that the frequency of the waves move faster which in turn produces a faster and louder result.

The difference between the speed of sound n air at 0°C and the speed of sound in air at 20°c is that... A. Cooler air molecules
sergejj [24]
Heat, like sound, is kinetic energy. Molecules at higher temperatures heave more energy, thus they can vibrate faster. Since the molecules vibrate faster, sound waves can travel more quickly. 

So the answer is A.

A seesaw has an irregularly distributed mass of 30 kg, a length of 3.0 m, and a fulcrum beneath its midpoint. It is balanced whe
gladu [14]

Answer:

x = 0.9 m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the rotational equilibrium relation, we will assume that the counterclockwise rotations are positive

          ∑ τ = 0

          60 1.5 - 78 1.5 + 30 x = 0

where x is measured from the left side of the fulcrum

           90 - 117 + 30 x = 0

           x = 27/30

           x = 0.9 m       

In summary the center of mass is on the side of the lightest weight x = 0.9 m

asambeis [7]
Alfred Wegener believed that all of the continents were originally attached! By looking at the map, you can see that Africa and South America look like they were once joined. This 'super continent' was known as Pangaea. He also found fossils that proved his point.
Hope this helps :)
