Please help with 3 questions about acceleration

Physics
1 answer:
Goryan [66]4 years ago
5 0

A great, helpful, useful definition of acceleration is

<em>A = (change in speed) / (time for the change)</em> .   <== you should memorize this

This simple tool will directly solve all 3 problems.

The REASON for assigning these problems for homework is NOT to find the answers.  It's to help YOU find out whether you know this definition, to let you go back and review it if you don't, and to give you a chance to practice using it if you do.  Noticed that if you get the answers from somebody else, you lose all of these benefits.

The only wrinkle anywhere here is in #3, because when you use this definition,      the unit of time has to be the same in both the numerator and the denominator.  

So for #3, you have to EITHER  change the km/hr to km/sec, OR change the 4sec to a fraction of an hour, before you plug anything into the definition.

Nataliya [291]
The sun’s huge mass gives it a strong gravitational pull. Because of this gravitational pull, planets that are closer to the sun tend to have different motion than planets that are further away from the sun, because the gravity becomes stronger the closer you get. I hope this helped!

A fire woman dropped a person onto the safety net. Right
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

m = 28.7[kg]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the definition of kinetic energy, which can be calculated by means of the following equation.

E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}\\

where:

Ek = kinetic energy = 1800 [J]

m = mass [kg]

v = 11.2 [m/s]

1800=\frac{1}{2}*m*(11.2)^{2}\\m = 28.7[kg]

Which of Newton's laws of motion describes the motion of an object that has a net<br> force of ON?
algol [13]

Newton's first and second laws of motion both do, but I think the one you're looking for is: <em>The First Law of Motion</em>.  That description is a little more direct.

It says that if an object is not acted on by a net external force, then it continues in "constant, uniform motion".

NikAS [45]

Answer:

A)  350 N

B)  58.33 N

C)  35 kg

D)  35 kg

Explanation:

If we use that g = 10 m/s^2, then the acceleration of gravity on the Moon will be 10/6 m/s^2 = 5/3 m/s*2

The weight of the object on Earth is given by:

Weight = mass * g = 35 * 10 = 350 N

The weight of the object on the Moon:

Weight = mass * gmoon = 35 * 5/3 = 58.33 N

The mass of the object on Earth is 35 kg

The mass of the object on the Moon is exactly the same as on the Earth (35 kg) since the mass is a quantity inherent to the object and not to its location.

A force is applied to a block sliding along a surface (Figure 2). The magnitude of the force is 15 N, and the horizontal compone
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Fy = 14.3 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must know that the force is a vector and has magnitude and direction, therefore it can be decomposed into the force in the X & y components:

When we have the components on the horizontal and vertical axes we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2} +F_{y}^{2}  }

where:

F = 15 [N]

Fx = horizontal component = 4.5 [N]

Fy = vertical component [N]

15=\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\\ 15^{2}= (\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}})^{2} \\225 = 4.5^{2}+F_{y} ^{2}\\  F_{y}^{2} =225 -4.5^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2}=204.75\\F_{y}=\sqrt{204.75}\\  F_{y}=14.3 [N]
