So the force that the gymnast with a mass m=45 kg, has to exert against the ground to stop if her acceleration is a=8*g, where g=9.81 m/s², can be obtained from the Newtons second law: F=m*a, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is acceleration. 

F=m*a=m*8*g=45*8*9.81=3531.6 N. 

So the force that a gymnast has to exert on the mat in order to stop is F=3531.6 N.

A bobsled zips down an ice track, starting from rest at the top of a hill with a vertical height of 150m. Disregarding friction,
olchik [2.2K]
<span>The velocity would be 54.2 m/s We would use the equation 1/2mv^2top+mghtop = 1/2mv^2bottom+mghbottom where m is the mass of the bobsled(which can be ignored), vtop/bottom is the velocity of the bobsled at the top or bottom, g is gravity, and htop/bottom is the height of the bobsled at the top or bottom of the hill. Since the velocity of the bobsled at the top of the hill and height at the bottom of the hill are zero, 1/2mv^2top and mghbottom will equal zero. The equation will be mghtop=1/2mv^2bottom. Thus we would solve for v.</span>

Please help i’m running out of time to answer
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

5,970 N

Explanation:

m = 597 kg

a = 10 m/s^2

Plug those values into the following equation:

F = ma

F = (597 kg)(10 m/s^2)

F = 5,970 N

Is this statement true or false concerning squall line thunderstorm development? These often form ahead of the advancing front b
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer: The following statement is true about squall line thunderstorm development: <em><u>These often form ahead of the advancing front but rarely behind it because lifting of warm, humid air and the generation of a squall line usually occur in the warm sector ahead of an advancing cold front. Behind a cold front, the air motions are usually downward, and the air is cooler and drier.</u></em>

<em>An upper-level wave, accountable for the fabrication of a squall line, extend in front of and backside a cold front, the air backside the front is cold, steady and settling while the air ahead of the front is hot and co-seismic.</em>
