ANSWER

C. $F=4.5 \times10^3$ . newtons

EXPLANATION

According to Newton's second law,

$F_{net}=ma$ , where

$m=1.00\times 10^3kg$ is the mass measured in kilograms.

and

$a=4.5ms^{2}$ is the acceleration in metres per second square.

We substitute these values to obtain,

$F=1.00\times10^3 \times 4.5$ .

We rearrange to get,

$F=1.00\times4.5 \times10^3$ .

We multiply out the first two numbers and leave our answer in standard form to get,

$F=4.5 \times10^3 N$ .

The correct answer is C

In xray machines, electrons are subjected to electric fields as great as 6.0 x 10^5 N/C. Find

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a = 1.055 x 10¹⁷ m/s²

Explanation:

First, we will find the force on electron:

$E = \frac{F}{q}\\\\F = Eq\\$

where,

F = Force = ?

E = Electric Field = 6 x 10⁵ N/C

q = charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore,

$F = (6\ x\ 10^5\ N/C)(1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)\\$

F = 9.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ N

Now, we will calculate the acceleration using Newton's Second Law:

$F = ma\\a = \frac{F}{m}\\$

where,

a = acceleration = ?

m = mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

therefore,

$a = \frac{9.6\ x\ 10^{-14}\ N}{9.1\ x\ 10^{-31}\ kg}\\\\$

The answer is A and no matter how many times I tried I can't get it.

Imagine a skinny straw in the water, standing right over the hole. The WEIGHT of the water in that straw is the force on the tape. Now, the volume of water in the straw is (1 mm^2) times (20 cm). Once you have the volume, you can use the density and gravity to find the weight. And THAT's the force on the tape. If the tape can't hold that force, then it peels off and the water runs out through the hole. /// This is a pretty hard problem, because it involved mm^2, cm, and m^3. You have to be very very very careful with your units as you work through this one. If you've been struggling with it, I'm almost sure the problem is the units.

A motorcycle accelerates uniformly from rest at 7.9\,\dfrac{\text{m}}{\text{s}^2}7.9 s 2 m 7, point, 9, space, start fraction,

8090 [49]

Answer:

t = 3.516 s

Explanation:

The most useful kinematic formula would be the velocity of the motorcylce as a function of time, which is:

$v(t) = v_0 +at$

Where v_0 is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration. However the problem states that the motorcyle start at rest therefore v_0 = 0

If we want to know the time it takes to achieve that speed, we first need to convert units from km/h to m/s.

This can be done knowing that

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 s

Therefore

1 km/h = (1000/3600) m/s = 0.2777... m/s

100 km/h = 27.777... m/s

Now we are looking for the time t, for which v(t) = 27.77 m/s. That is:

27.777 m/s = 7.9 m/s^2 t

Solving for t

t = (27.7777 / 7.9) s = 3.516 s

How much tension must a rope withstand if used to accelerate a 960-kg car from rest horizontally along a frictionless surface to

Svetach [21]

Use a=(dv/dt) (change in velocity/ change in time)=acceleration
(1.2/5)=acceleration

F=ma (Newton's second law, Force= Mass x Acceleration

=960 x 0.24 F=230.4N If T<230.4N then the tow rope will hold
