Answer:

a)0.22 m/s².

Explanation:

Given that

Net force ,F= 6.8 N

mass ,m = 31 kg

From the second law of Newton's

F = m a ---------------1

Where

F=Net force ,m=mass

a=Acceleration

Now by putting the values in the equation 1

F = m a

6.8 = 31 x a

$a=\dfrac{6.8}{31}\ m/s^2$

$a = 0.219\ m/s^2$

$a = 0.22\ m/s^2$

Therefore the acceleration of the scooter will be 0.22 m/s².

The answer will be "a".

a)0.22 m/s².

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation.

tatyana61 [14]

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

Electric motors work on the principal of the interaction between magnetic field electr-magnetism. A loop which is carrying the current is placed in a magnetic field. The loop will experience a torque. The torque starts rotating the coil and the propellers start to rotate when the current passes through the loop.

How is work defined in physics

Tcecarenko [31]

Explanation:

Work is the dot product of the force and displacement vectors.

W = F · d

In other words, it is the force times the parallel component of the distance.

W = F d cos θ, where θ is the angle between the force and distance.

A distant planet with a mass of (7.2000x10^26) has a moon with a mass of (5.0000x10^23). The distance between the planet and the

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple gravitational force problem using the equation:

$F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$ where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, the m's are the masses of the2 objects, and r is the distance between the centers of the masses. I am going to state G to 3 sig fig's so that is the number of sig fig's we will have in our answer. If we are solving for the gravitational force, we can fill in everything else where it goes. Keep in mind that I am NOT rounding until the very end, even when I show some simplification before the final answer.

Filling in:

$F_g=\frac{(6.67*19^{-11})(7.2000*10^{26})(5.0000*10^{23})}{(6.10*10^{11})^2}$ I'm going to do the math on the top and then on the bottom and divide at the end.

$F_g=\frac{2.4012*10^{40}}{3.721*10^{23}}$ and now when I divide I will express my answer to the correct number of sig dig's:

$Fg=$ 6.45 × 10¹⁶ N

As a quality test of ball bearings, you drop bearings (small metal balls), with zero initial velocity, from a height of 1.94 m i

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the bearings is $0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 1.94 m

Bounced height = 1.48 m

Time interval $t=14.86\times10^{-3}\ s$

Velocity of the ball bearing just before hitting the steel plate

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$9.8\times1.94=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2$

$v=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.94}$

$v=6.166\ m/s$

Negative as it is directed downwards

After bounce back,

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2'$

Put the value into the formula

$9.8\times1.48=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2'$

$v'=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.48}$

$v'=5.38\ m/s$

We need to calculate the average acceleration of the bearings while they are in contact with the plate

Using formula of acceleration

$a=\dfrac{v-v'}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{5.38-(-6.166)}{14.86\times10^{-3}}$

$a=776.98\ m/s^2$

$a=0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

Hence,The average acceleration of the bearings is $0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$
