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.

Here's a quick way to find out. Pick up your glasses, bifocals work best, and find the focal length with a flashlight against a book. If I remember right, the object should be magnified and upside down. So, A.

On sunday a strong gale blows near beth’s house. the best estimate for the wind speed is ____ miles/hour.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

B. 47-54 miles/hour

Explanation:

Gale is a strong wind which is depicted by red warning flag. According to U.S. National Weather Service gale is a sustained surface wind. It is also used to refer winds from tropical coastal areas.

On the basis of force of wind gale is divided in four groups:

  1. Near gale   - 32-38 mph
  2. Gale            - 39-46 mph
  3. Strong gale - 47-54 mph
  4. Storm           - 55-63 mph

What is the acceleration due to gravity in a region where a simple pendulum having a length 75.000 cm has a period of 1.7357 s?​
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

T = 2π\sqrt{L/g}

(T / 2π)² = L/g

g = 4π²L/T²

g = 4π²(0.75000)/(1.7357)²

g = 9.82814766...

g = 9.8281 m/s²
