If you were to apply a force of 15N to a medicine ball with a mass of 10kg, what would its acceleration be

Physics

tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
6 0

One of the equations for force is:  Force = mass × acceleration.

The force and mass are given and so:

F=15N

m=10kg

By plugging in these values we obtain:

F=ma\\\\15=10(a)\\

\frac{15}{10}=\frac{10(a)}{10}\\\\a=\frac{15}{10}=1.5m/s^2

So the acceleration is a=1.5m/s^2

When a rocket is traveling toward a mountain at 100 m/s, the sound waves from this rocket's engine approach the mountain at spee
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The initial speed of the rocket is  v_i = 100 m/s

    The speed of the rocket engine sound is V

    The final speed of the rocket is  v_f = 200 \ m/s

The speed of the sound at v_f would still remain V this because the speed of sound wave is constant and is not dependent on the speed of the observer(The mountain ) or the speed of the source (The rocket ).

  A clear example when  lightning strikes you will first see (that is because it travels at  the speed of light which is greater than the speed of sound) but it would take some time before you hear the sound of the   lightning

Here we see that the speed of the lightning(speed of sound) does not affect the speed of the sound it generates

An object, initially at rest, moves 250 m in 17 s. What is its acceleration?
mash [69]

Answer:

1.73 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 250 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 17 s

Find: a

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

250 m = (0 m/s) (17 s) + ½ a (17 s)²

a = 1.73 m/s²

In the parallel spring system, the springs are positioned so that the 37 N weight stretches each spring equally. The spring cons
Reptile [31]

Answer:

x = 5.29 m

Explanation:

given,

weight of stretch = 37 N

left-hand spring constant (k₁)= 2.7 N/cm

right hand spring constant(k₂)= 4.3 N/ cm

spring are connected in parallel

F = F₁ + F₂

F = k₁x + k₂x

F = (k₁+ k₂)x

37= (4.3+ 2.7)x

7 x = 37

x = 5.29 m
