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

Physics

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.

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building. The rock's initial speed is 6.0 m/s. How long will it take the r
Archy [21]

Answer:

The time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds.

Explanation:

Given that,

A student throws a rock horizontally off a 5.0 m tall building, s = 5 m

The initial speed of the rock, u = 6 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the rock to reach the ground. Using second equation of motion to find it. We get :

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\5=6t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8t^2\\\\t=0.569\ seconds

So, the time taken by the rock to reach the ground is 0.569 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.

A batch of 500 containers for frozen orange juice contain 5 that are defective. 2 are selected at random without replacement.
KonstantinChe [14]
Given:
500 containers ; 5 of these are defective.

A = event that 1st is defective = 5/500
B = event that 2nd is defective = 4/499
C = event that 3rd is defective = 3/498

a) 4/499
b) 5/500 * 4/499 = 20/249,500 = 1/12,475
c) 495/500 * 494/500 = 244,530 / 250,000 = 24,453/25,000
d) 5/500 * 4/499 * 3/498 = 60/124,251,000 = 1/2,070,850

A certain radioactive nuclide decays with a disintegration constant of 0.0178 h-1.
umka21 [38]

Explanation:

Given that,

The disintegration constant of the nuclide, \lambda=0.0178\ h^{-1}

(a) The half life of this nuclide is given by :

t_{1/2}=\dfrac{ln(2)}{\lambda}

t_{1/2}=\dfrac{ln(2)}{0.0178}

t_{1/2}=38.94\ h

(b) The decay equation of any radioactive nuclide is given by :

N=N_oe^{-\lambda t}

\dfrac{N}{N_o}=e^{-\lambda t}

Number of remaining sample in 4.44 half lives is :

t_{1/2}=4.44\times 38.94

t_{1/2}=172.89\ h^{-1}

So, \dfrac{N}{N_o}=e^{-0.0178\times 172.89}

\dfrac{N}{N_o}=0.046

(c) Number of remaining sample in 14.6 days is :

t_{1/2}=14.6\times 24

t_{1/2}=350.4\ h^{-1}

So, \dfrac{N}{N_o}=e^{-0.0178\times 350.4}

\dfrac{N}{N_o}=0.0019

Hence, this is the required solution.
