What is the acceleration of a 50kg object that has been given a 20N push?

Physics
1 answer:
SCORPION-xisa [38]3 years ago
6 0
As long as the 20N force <em>keeps</em> pushing, its acceleration is 50/20 = 2.5 m/s² .

But as soon as the force <em>stops</em> pushing, the object stops accelerating.
It continues on from there at constant speed in a straight line.

What is inertia?by Walter Levin..<br>​
Tom [10]

Inertia is directly proportional to mass.

What is Walter Lewin famous for?

Walter Hendrik Gustav Lewin (born January 29, 1936) is a Dutch astrophysicist and former professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Lewin earned his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1965 at the Delft University of Technology and was a member of MIT's physics faculty for 43 years beginning in 1966 until his retirement in 2009.

According to Walter Levin,

The concept of moment of inertia is demonstrated by rolling a series of cylinders down an inclined plane.

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed when no forces act upon them.

By rolling a series of cylinders down on an inclined plane , he demonstrated that a cylinder have a smooth friction.

He compares the rolling cylinder by using hollow cylinder and a heavy cylinder , and finalize the result that a hollow cylinder moves slowly but the heavy cylinder move faster.

Hence , By doing this experiment he explained about the inertia that Inertia depend on the mass of the object. As the heavy the object it will take more time to travel or move.

You need to determine the density of a ceramic statue. If you suspend it from a spring scale, the scale reads 28.4 NN . If you t
shtirl [24]

Answer:

2491.23 kg/m³

Explanation:

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = weight of object in air/ upthrust in water = density of the object/density of water

⇒ W/U = D/D' ....................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the ceramic statue, U = upthrust of the ceramic statue in water, D = density of the ceramic statue, D' = density of water.

Making D the subject of the equation,

D = D'(W/U).................... Equation 2

Given: W = 28.4 N, U = lost in weight = weight in air- weight in water

U = 28.4 - 17.0 = 11.4 N,

Constant: D' = 1000 kg/m³.

Substitute into equation 2,

D = 100(28.4/11.4)

D = 2491.23 kg/m³

Hence the density of the ceramic statue = 2491.23 kg/m³

An infinite line of charge with linear density λ1 = 6 μC/m is positioned along the axis of a thick insulating shell of inner rad
Anna11 [10]

Answer: λ2= 2.34 * 10^-6 C/m

Explanation: In order to calculate the value of the  linear charge density of the insulating shell we have to multiply ρ* Volume of the hollow cylinder, so

Volume of cylinder:2*π*b*L *(b-a)  where (b-a) is the thickness, then

λ2=Q/L = 634 *10^-6 C/m^3* 2*π*0.042 m*(0.042-0.26)== 2.34 μ C/m
