A 50 kg car is pushed so that it speeds up from 20 m/s to 50 m/s in 3 seconds. What is the force acting on the car?

Physics

Answer:

A. 500 N

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (50 m/s − 20 m/s) / 3 s

a = 10 m/s²

Force is mass times acceleration.

F = ma

F = (50 kg) (10 m/s²)

F = 500 N

Consider a solid metal sphere (S) a few centimeters in diameter and a feather (F). For each quantity in the list that follows, i

Answer:

A) Gravitational Force is greater in S.

B) Time taken to fall a given distance in air will be greater for F.

C) Both will take same time to fall in a vacuum.

D) Total force is greater in S.

Explanation:

(a) In this case, the gravitational force of S will be greater, because Newton's Second Law states that - F = ma, or weight =mg. g is constant. And mass of the solid metal is heavier.

(b) In this case, the time it will take for F to fall from a given distance in air will be greater than that of S, since the air resistance is not negligible (as in the case of S).

(c) In this, It will take same time for S and F because in a vacuum, there are no air particles, so there is no air resistance and gravity is the only force acting and so objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum.

(d) The total force will be greater in S than F because Force=ma and S is of heavier mass than F.

Dina has a mass of 50 kilograms and is waiting at the top of a ski slope that’s 5.0 meters high.
Over [174]
All of Dina's potential energy Ep is converted into kinetic energy Ek so Ep=Ek, where Ep=m*g*h and Ek=(1/2)*m*v². m is the mass of Dina, h is the height of ski slope, g=9.8 m/s² and v is the maximal velocity. 

So we solve for v:

m*g*h=(1/2)*m*v², masses cancel out,

g*h=(1/2)*v², we multiply by 2,

2*g*h=v² and take the square root to get v

√(2*g*h)=v, we plug in the numbers and get:

v=9.9 m/s. 

So Dina's maximum velocity on the bottom of the ski slope is v=9.9 m/s.

Which wave must have a medium to travel?
o-na [289]

Letter B

without a medium, there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast- medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.
