You start pushing a suitcase full of clothes in the horizontal direction with a force of 25.0 newtons. The weight of the suitcas

e is 196 newtons. After it accelerates for 3.00 seconds, how far has it traveled? Assume that the initial velocity of the system is zero and that there is no friction.

Answer:

Distance traveled will be 5.6307 m

Explanation:

Time t = 3 sec

We have given force F = 25 N

We know that force is given by F = ma

So ma = 25 -----------eqn 1

Weight is given by W = 196 N

We know that weight is given by W = mg

So mg = 196 -----------------eqn 2

From equation 1 and equation 2 \frac{a}{g}=\frac{25}{196}

a=1.2512m/sec^2

Initial velocity is given as 0 so u = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2512\times 3^2=5.6307m

A clam of mass 0.12 kg dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 s to hit the ground. [Neglect friction.]
inna [77]
This is a defective, misleading question, and should never be asked in a Physics class.

There is no such thing as the force due to the impact.

If you know how long it takes the clam to stop once it begins to hit the dirt,
then you can calculate the impulse transferred to it, and tease a force out
of that.  But the question doesn't give us the time. 

It depends on the material of the surface.  Was the clam dropped onto dirt ? 
Into a dumpster ?  Onto grass ?  Concrete ?  Styrofoam ?  Mud ?  The answer
is different in each case, and we still need to know the short length of time
AFTER it first encountered whatever surface brought it to rest.

I would kick this question back to the Physics teacher.  It's meaningless,
and the longer you try to work on it, the more nonsense you'll plant into
your head that'll need to be dug out later.

Infrared radiation from young stars can pass through the heavy dust clouds surrounding them, allowing astronomers here on Earth
Semmy [17]

Answer:

\lambda=6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

An infrared telescope is tuned to detect infrared radiation with a frequency of 4.39 THz.

We know that,

1 THz = 10¹² Hz

So,

f = 4.39 × 10¹² Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the infrared radiation.

We know that,

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4.39\times 10^{12}}\\\\=6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m

So, the wavelength of the infrared radiation is 6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m.

Represent 7468 N with SI units having an appropriate prefix. Express your answer to four significant figures and include the app
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

7.468 kN

Explanation:

Here the force is given in Newton

Some of the prefixes of the SI units are

kilo = 10³

Mega = 10⁶

Giga = 10⁹

Tera = 10¹²

The number is 7468.0

Here, the only solution where the number of significant figures is kilo. If any other prefix is chosen then the significant figures will increase.

1 kilonewton = 1000 Newton

1\ Newton=\frac{1}{1000}\ kilonewton

\\\Rightarrow 7468\ Newton=\frac{7468}{1000}\ kilonewton\\ =7.468\ kilonewton

So, 7468 N = 7.468 kN

A small metal sphere has a mass of 0.19 gg and a charge of -23.0 nCnC. It is 10.0 cmcm directly above an identical sphere that h
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

  a = -7.29 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use Newton's second law,

          F -W = m a

Force is electrical force

         F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

         k q₁ q₂ / r² -mg = m a

indicate that the charge of the two spheres is equal

         q₁ = q₂ = q

         a = (k q² / r² - m g) / m

         a = k q² / m r² - g

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

        m = 0.19 g (1kg / 1000 g) = 1.9 10⁻⁴ kg

        q1 = q2 = q = -23.0 nC (1C / 10⁹ nC) = -23.0 10⁻⁹ C

        r = 10.0 cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.1000 m

let's calculate

        a = 9 10⁹ (23.0 10⁻⁹)² / (0.1000² 1.9 10⁻⁴) - 9.8

        a = -7.29 m / s²

The negative sign indicates that the direction of this acceleration is downward

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 34 m/s to 17 m/s in 6 seconds. What is the automobiles acceleration?​
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

-2.83 m/s²

Explanation:

  • Initial velocity (u) = 34 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 17 m/s
  • Time taken (t) = 6 seconds

❖ Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with time.

→ a = (v - u)/t

  • v denotes final velocity
  • a denotes acceleration
  • u denotes initial velocity
  • t denotes time

→ a = (17 - 34)/6 m/s²

→ a = -17/6 m/s²

<h3>→ Acceleration = -2.83 m/s²</h3>

(Minus sign implies that the velocity is decreasing.)
