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.

Which part of earths surface has the greatest rotational speed
Anni [7]
Every point on the surface must have the same rotational speed.
Otherwise some places would rotate away from other places.

If the next block of your city rotated faster than the block that you live on,
then you could sit at home, look out the window, and watch your school
rotate past your house.

The map of the continents on the Earth would change constantly.

Find the unknown mass of the block 1 needed to balance the bar. Assume that the mass of the bar is negligible. Block 1 is locate
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Incomplete question: The masses of the blocks m₂ = 1.5 kg and m₃ = 2 kg

Explanation:

Given data:

L₁ = length = 0.85 m

L₂ = 0.25 m

L₃ = 0.5 m

m₂ = 1.5 kg

m₃ = 2 kg

Question: Find the unknown mass of the block 1 needed to balance the bar, m₁ = ?

The torque is zero (intermediate point of the bar)

-m_{1} gL_{1} +m_{2} gL_{2} +m_{3} gL_{3} =0

Is negative because mass 1 is to the left of the coordinate system (see the diagram)

m_{1} =\frac{m_{2} gL_{2}+m_{3} gL_{3}  }{L_{1} } =\frac{(1.5*0.25)+(2*0.5)}{0.85} =1.6176kg
