Answer:

(a) 918.37 kg

(b) 2020.41 lbs

Explanation:

number of students = 20

Force of each student = 450 N

Total upward force = 450 x 20 = 9000 N

(a)

Let m be the mass of car

F = m x g

9000 = m x 9.8

m = 918.37 kg

(b)

As we know that, 1 kg = 2.20 lbs

So, 918.37 kg = 2.20 x 918.37 = 2020.41 lbs

Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?
PtichkaEL [24]
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

a 2000 kg truck is traveling at a velocity of 30 m/s. What velocity must a 1000 kg car have in order to have the same momentum a
Molodets [167]

The car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is measured as the product of mass of object with the velocity attained by that object.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Mass × Velocity

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = 2000×30 = 60000 N

Similarly, the momentum of 1000 kg car will be 1000× velocity of the 1000 kg car.

Since, it is stated that momentum of 2000 kg truck is equal to the momentum of 1000 kg of car, then the velocity of 1000 kg of car can be determined by equating the momentum of car and truck.

Momentum of 2000 kg truck = Momentum of 1000 kg car

60000=1000×velocity of 1000 kg car

Velocity of 1000 kg car = 60000/1000=60 m/s

So, the car should have a velocity of 60 m/s to attain the same momentum as that of the truck of 2000 kg.

A body weighs 100newtons when submerged in water. calculate the upthrust action on the body​
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Upthrust = 20 N

Explanation:

The question says that "A body weighs 100N in air and 80N when submerged in water. Calculate the upthrust acting on the body ?"

Upthrust is defined as the force when a body is submerged in liquid, then liquid applies a force on it.

ATQ,

Weight of body in air is 100 N

Weight of body in water is 80 N

Upthrust is equal to the weight of body in air minus weight of body in water.

Upthrust = 100 N - 80 N

Upthrust = 20 N

So, 20 N of upthrust is acting on the body.

the shock absorbers in a car act as a big spring with k= 21900 N/m. when a 92.5 kg person gets in, how far does the spring stret
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: 0.04139m

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the weight of the man which will be:

Weight = mass × acceleration due to gravity

Weight = mg

Weight = 92.5 × 9.8

Weight = 906.5N

Then, we calculate the force which will be:

F = kx

mg = kx

x = mg/k

x = 906.5/21900

x = 0.04139m.

The spring stretched for 0.04139m.
