A force of 80 N is exerted on an object on a frictionless surface for a distance of 4 meters. If the object has a mass of 10 kg,

solmaris [256]

There are two ways to find energy. Energy=F*d=mv^2. We can use this relationship to find v:
$Fd=0.5mv^{2} \\ 80*4=0.5*10v^{2} \\ 64=v^{2} \\ v=8 m/s$

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

v = 384km/min

Explanation:

In order to calculate the speed of the Hubble space telescope, you first calculate the distance that Hubble travels for one orbit.

You know that 37000 times the orbit of Hubble are 1,280,000,000 km. Then, for one orbit you have:

$d=\frac{1,280,000,000km}{37,000}=34,594.59km$

You know that one orbit is completed by Hubble on 90 min. You use the following formula to calculate the speed:

$v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{34,594.59km}{90min}=384.38\frac{km}{min}\approx384\frac{km}{min}$

hence, the speed of the Hubble is approximately 384km/min

if a 0.040-kg stone is whirled horizontally on the end of a 60-m string at a speed of 4.4 m/s, what is the centripetal force ? *

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

0.013N

Explanation:

$F=\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

m=0.04, v=4.4m/s, r=60

F=0.013 N

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of “Applications of Newton’s Laws”?

Shkiper50 [21]

Newton's three forces, normal, tension and friction, are present in a surprising number of physical situations

Newton's Laws, that describe the relationship between an obejct and the forces acting upon it, apply in almost every physical situation, from quantum mechanics to electricity.

The correct answer is:

Newton’s laws can explain the forces that occur between objects every day
