Answer:

F = 64.0 N

the magnitude of the force is 64 N

Explanation:

Given;

Mass m = 45kg

time t = 7.5 s

Displacement d = 40 m

Force = mass × acceleration

F = ma ........1

From equation of motion;

d = vt + 0.5at^2

Since initial velocity v = 0 (initially at rest)

d = 0.5at^2

Making a the subject of formula;

a = d/(0.5t^2)

Substituting the given values;

a = 40/(0.5×7.5^2)

a = 1.42 m/s^2

From equation 1;

F = ma

Substituting the given values;

Force F = 45 kg × 1.42 m/s^2

F = 64.0 N

the magnitude of the force is 64 N

What is a cool example of newtons 3rd law?
USPshnik [31]
<span>This law means that when one object exerts force on another, the same amount of force is exerted on the initial object, but in the opposite reaction. For example, when a billiard ball strikes another ball, the second ball is propelled forward. Simultaneously, the momentum of the first ball is slowed or stopped by opposing force. The amount that the first object is affected by the opposing force depends on the mass and motion of the second object.</span>

The Southwest Indian Ridge, shown in red, moves at an average rate of 20 mm/year, making it among the ultraslow spreading ridges
blagie [28]

v = average speed of movement of the Southwest Indian Ridge = 20 mm/year

d = distance moved by the Southwest Indian Ridge = 100 mm

t = number of years required to move distance "d"

distance traveled is given as

d = v t

inserting the above values in the formula

100 mm = (20 mm/year) t

dividing both side by 20 mm/year

t = 100 mm/(20 mm/year)

t = 5 years

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

0.301 m

Explanation:

Torque = Force × Radius

τ = Fr

40.0 Nm = 133 N × r

r = 0.301 m

The mechanic must apply the force 0.301 m from the nut.
