The SI unit of force is the Newton.

1 newton is the force that accelerates a 1 kilogram mass
at the rate of 1 meter per second².

1 pound of force is equivalent to roughly  4.448 newtons.

(1 newton is equivalent to roughly  0.225  pounds of force.)

lana66690 [7]
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the net force experienced by the system is equal to the mass of the system in question times the acceleration in motion. In this case, the net force is the difference of gravitational force and the force experience by the motion of the airplane. This difference is already given to be 210 N.

Net force = ma
210 N = (73 kg)(a)
a = +2.92 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration of the airplane's motion is 2.92 m/s² to the positive direction which is upwards.

What is true about an object in free fall?
salantis [7]
The only force being acted upon it is gravity. A ball that was thrown downward off a building isn't in freefall, because it had initial velocity. A piece of paper can't necessarily be in free fall because it is affected by air resistance.

a fan is rotating clockwise and its acceleration has a positive sign. is the angular velocity of the fan speeding up, slowing do
balu736 [363]

Answer:

The angular velocity is slowing down.

Explanation:

  • By convention, if a rigid body is rotating clockwise, the angular velocity is negative.
  • If the angular acceleration has a positive sign, since the angular acceleration and the angular velocity have opposite signs, this means that the angular velocity is slowing down.

A light-rail train going from one station to the next on a straight section of track accelerates from rest at 1.1m/s^2 for 20s.
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

A.) 1430 metres

B.) 80 seconds

Explanation:

Given that the train accelerates from rest at 1.1m/s^2 for 20s. The initial velocity U will be:

U = acceleration × time

U = 1.1 × 20 = 22 m/s

It then proceeds at constant speed for 1100 m

Then, time t will be

Time = distance/ velocity

Time = 1100/22

Time = 50 s

before slowing down at 2.2m/s^2 until it stops at the station.

Deceleration = velocity/time

2.2 = 22/t

t = 22/2.2

t = 10s

Using area under the graph, the distance between the two stations will be :

(1/2 × 22 × 20) + 1100 + (1/2 × 22 × 10)

220 + 1100 + 110

1430 m

The time taken between the two stations will be

20 + 50 + 10 = 80 seconds
