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!

Two samples of water are mixed together.
horrorfan [7]

Let the cold water go up x degrees.

Let the hot water go down 100 - x degrees.

The formula for heat exchange is m*c*delta t

Givens

Ice

deltat = x

m = 0.50 kg

c = 4.18

Hot water

deltat = 100 - x

m = 1.5 kg

c = 4.18

Formula

The heat up = heat down

0.50 * c * x = 1.5 * c * (100 - x)            Divide both sides by c

Solution

0.50 *x = 1.5*(100 - x)                          Remove the brackets.

0.5x = 150 - 1.5x                                  Add 1.5x to both sides.

0.5x + 1.5x = 150 - 1.5x + 1.5x             Combine like terms  

2x = 150                                               Divide by 2

x = 75

A spaceship travels toward the Earth at a speed of 0.97c. The occupants of the ship are standing with their torsos parallel to t
Ket [755]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply length contraction einstein's relativistic formula to calculate the length observed by observer on the earth . For the observer , increased length will be observed for an observer on the earth

L=\frac{.5}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{.97c}{c})^2 } }

L=\frac{.5}{.24}

L= 2.05

The length will appear to be 2.05 m . and width will appear to be .5 m  to the observer on the spaceship. . It is so because it is length which is moving parallel to the direction of travel. Width will remain unchanged.
