A 100-N force causes an object to accelerate at 2 m/s/s. What is the mass of the object?

Physics

Answer:

50\; \rm kg.

Explanation:

By Newton's Second Law, the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the net force \sum F on it. In particular, if the mass of the object is m, then

\sum F = m \cdot a.

Rewrite this equation to obtain:

\displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a}.

In this case, the assumption is that the 100\; \rm N force is the only force that is acting on the object. Hence, the net force \sum F on the object would also be

Make sure that all values are in their standard units. Forces should be in Newtons (same as \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-2}, and the acceleration of the object should be in meters-per-second-squared (\rm m \cdot s^{-2}). Apply the equation \displaystyle m = \frac{\sum F}{a} to find the mass of the object.

\displaystyle m = \frac{100\; \rm N}{2\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} = 50\; \rm kg.

aksik [14]
In solids, particles or atom are very closely arranged compared to gasses. When these particles are arranged in such proximity, vibrations from sound are very easily transmitted from one particle to another in the solid. Hence, the sound vibrations can travel through the solid medium more quickly than through a gas medium.
Speed of sound also depends on its frequency and the wavelength.

A jetliner flies at a constant speed covering 467 miles in 3.3 hours. What is the speed of the plane in miles per hour?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

141.152 miles per hour  is the speed of the plane in miles per hour

Explanation:

Speed of plane = Total distance travelled/total time taken -

v = D/t

Substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

v = 467/3.3 miles /hour

v = 141.152 miles per hour

141.152 miles per hour  is the speed of the plane in miles per hour

Rotational dynamics about a fixed axis: A person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

I = 2 kgm^2

Explanation:

In order to calculate the moment of inertia of the door, about the hinges, you use the following formula:

\tau=I\alpha     (1)

I: moment of inertia of the door

α: angular acceleration of the door = 2.00 rad/s^2

τ: torque exerted on the door

You can calculate the torque by using the information about the Force exerted on the door, and the distance to the hinges. You use the following formula:

\tau=Fd        (2)

F: force = 5.00 N

d: distance to the hinges = 0.800 m

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1), and you solve for α:

Fd=I\alpha\\\\I=\frac{Fd}{\alpha}

Finally, you replace the values of all parameters in the previous equation for I:

I=\frac{(5.00N)(0.800m)}{2.00rad/s^2}=2kgm^2

The moment of inertia of the door around the hinges is 2 kgm^2
