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

Kitty [74]3 years ago

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.

If the man on the left pulls on the object with a force of 500 N and the man on the right pulls on the object with a force of 75
Igoryamba
Force is a vector quantity
so pulling from opposite side will be negative
so
750+(-500)= 250N
C is the right answer
becauseause the man on the right applies greater force.

alculate the kinetic energies of (a) a 2.00×103-kg automobile moving at 100.0 km/h; (b) an 80.0-kg runner sprinting at 10.0 m/s;
zzz [600]

Answer:

(a) 7.72×10⁵ J

(b) 4000 J

(c) 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy: This can be defined energy of a body due to its motion. The expression for kinetic energy is given as,

Ek = 1/2mv²................... Equation 1

Where Ek = Kinetic energy, m = mass, v = velocity

(a)

For a moving automobile,

Ek = 1/2mv².

Given: m = 2.0×10³ kg, v = 100 km/h = 100(1000/3600) m/s = 27.78 m/s

Substitute into equation 1

Ek = 1/2(2.0×10³)(27.78²)

Ek = 7.72×10⁵ J

(b)

For a sprinting runner,

Given: m = 80 kg, v = 10 m/s

Substitute into equation 1 above,

Ek = 1/2(80)(10²)

Ek = 40(100)

Ek = 4000 J

(c)

For a moving electron,

Given: m = 9.10×10⁻³¹ kg, v = 2.0×10⁷ m/s

Substitute into equation 1 above,

Ek = 1/2(9.10×10⁻³¹)(2.0×10⁷)²

Ek = 1.82×10⁻¹⁶ J

How much work is done when a 214 newton force pushes a sleeping cow 37m across a field.
nata0808 [166]
Hello!

Answer: 
7918 J

Explanation:

We are assuming that the floor (field) is completely horizontal since there's no information about that in the statement. 

We are going to use the following formula:

W= F . Cos \alpha . D

Where:

F=214 N
\alpha =0º
D= 37m

Then, by substituting we have:

W=214N . Cos (0).37m= 7918 N.m=7918 J

Birdman is flying horizontally at a
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

X=92.49 m

Explanation:

Given that

u= 21 m/s

h= 97 m

Time taken to cover vertical distance h

h= 1/2 g t²

By putting the values

97 = 1/2 x 10 x  t²          ( g = 10 m/s²)

t= 4.4 s

The horizontal distance

X= u .t

X= 21 x 4.4

X=92.49 m
