What is the mass of a falling rock if it produces a force of 147 N?

Hello there!

The formula for Force is F = MA, or 
Force = Mass x Acceleration

Well, since we have a rock falling in free fall, we can use the magical number 9.8 m/s^2 (also known as gravity). We have our value for force, 147N (Newtons).

So now, we have the value of our acceleration, A, and our value of the force, F, in our formula.

147 = 9.8M

To solve for M, we need to divide 147 by 9.8.

147/9.8 = 15

This means our Mass is 15 kg (remember your units!)

I hope this helps!

A 5.00 kg pendulum swings back and forth. At the top of its arc, it reaches a height of 0.36 m. What is the velocity of the pend
ella [17]
Tools we'll use:

--     Gravitational potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

--     Kinetic energy (of a moving object) = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

When the pendulum is at the top of its swing,
its potential energy is

                             (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

                         =  (5 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.36 m)

                         =      (5 x 9.8 x 0.36)        joules

                         =            17.64 joules .

Energy is conserved ... it doesn't appear or disappear ...
so that number is exactly the kinetic energy the pendulum
has at the bottom of the swing, only now, it's kinetic energy:

                   17.64 joules  =  (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

                   17.64 joules  =  (1/2) x (5 kg) x (speed)²

Divide each side by 2.5 kg:

                   17.64 joules / 2.5 kg  =  speed²

Write out the units of joules:

                   17.64 kg-m²/s²  /  2.5 kg  =  speed²

                   (17.64 / 2.5) (m²/s²)  =  speed²

                       7.056 m²/s²  =  speed²

Take the square root
of each side:              Speed = √(7.056 m²/s²)

                                           =    2.656 m/s .

Looking through the choices, we're overjoyed to see
that one if them is  ' 2.7 m/s '.  Surely that's IT !
_______________________________

Note:
The question asked for the pendulum's 'velocity', but our (my) calculation
only yielded the speed.

In order to describe a velocity, the direction of the motion must be known,
and the question doesn't give any information on exactly how the pendulum
is hanging, and how it's swinging. 

We know that at the bottom of its swing, the motion is completely horizontal,
but we have no clue as to what direction.  So all we can discuss is its speed.

An ice cube in a glass of water is pushed to the bottom of the glass and held there with a straw. Consequently, the buoyant forc
blagie [28]

Answer:d

Explanation:

Given

Initially, the ice cube is floating over the water

When the cube is pressed to touch the bottom, it is submerged fully

Therefore more buoyant force is acting on it

At first, a part of the volume is submerged in the water, so the buoyant force is less, but as the entire cube is immersed in the water, the buoyant force increases.

--——————

Frequency

Frequency = 1/T => 1 / 6.73 = 0.1486

Wave velocity = L/T => 3.75 / 6.73 = 0.5572

Therefore, wave length = 0.5572/0.1486 = 3.75m
