Let's examine over the next few questions an NFL kick as described in the 3rd Law video. The announcer claimed that the ball is

struck with "almost a ton of force." First of all, phrases like "almost a ton" drive physics people crazy. Give me a number! So let's guess-timate 1900 lbs of force. Convert that to Newtons. (you can always just Google this one)

Answer:

8451.62109367671 Newtons

Explanation:

1\ kg=1\times 9.8066500286389=9.8066500286389\ N

1 \lb=2.2046226218488\ kg

It is known that

1\ lbs=\dfrac{9.8066500286389}{2.2046226218488}=4.4482216282508\ N

So,

1900\ lbs=1900\times 4.4482216282508\\\Rightarrow 1900\ lbs=8451.6210936765\ N

The force in Newtons is 8451.6210936765 Newtons

A light plane must reach a speed of 33m/s for takeoff.how long a runway is needed if the the acceleration is 3.0m/s^2
Tanzania [10]

Remark

Always write down your givens and what you want to find. The formula you use for such questions will suggest itself if you do this.

Givens

a = 3.0 m/s^2

vi = 0  I presume that's that the question assumes.

vf = 33 m/s

You want d

Formula

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d

Solution

33^2 = 0^2 + 2 * 3 * d

1089 = 6*d

d = 1089/6

d = 181.5 meters

A spaceship moving through deep space will continue moving at the same speed forever. What is the name of the property that allo
Kay [80]
The best answer is D) Inertia

Inertia is the word assigned to the Newtonian law of motion that an object in motion tends to stay in motion, in a straight line and in the same direction at the same speed, as long as no other forces are acting on it. 
In deep space, there is no air resistance or any other force that would change the ship's velocity, so the law of inertia would keep it moving at the same speed forever.

A flat sheet of ice has a thickness of 2.12 cm. It is on top of a flat sheet of fused quartz that has a thickness of 1.24 cm. Li
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

4.674 cm

Explanation:

refractive index of ice μ₁ = 1.309

refractive index of quartz μ₂ = 1.544

Velocity of light in ice v₁ = c/μ₁

= 3 x 10⁸ / 1.309

= 2.292 x 10⁸

Velocity of light in quartz v₂ = c/μ₂

= 3 x 10⁸ / 1.544

= 1.943 x 10⁸

Total time taken by light to pass through ice

= 2.12 x 10⁻²/ (2.292 x 10⁸ )

= .92 x 10⁻¹⁰ s

Total time taken by light to pass through quartz

= 1.24 x 10⁻²/ (1.943 x 10⁸ )

= .638 x 10⁻¹⁰ s

Total time taken

=  .92 x 10⁻¹⁰ + .638 x 10⁻¹⁰

= 1.558 x 10⁻¹⁰ s

velocity of light in vacuum

= 3 x 10⁸ m /s

distance travelled in 1.558 x 10⁻¹⁰ s

= 3 x 10⁸ x 1.558 x 10⁻¹⁰

= 4.674 x 10⁻² m

4.674 cm
