A water skier has a mass of 86 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s2. What is the net force acting on him?

Physics
1 answer:
Korolek [52]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

F = 172 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion gives the amount of force acting on an object. Mathematically, it is given by :

F=ma

Put m =86 kg and a = 2 m/s²

So,

F=(86\times 2)\ N\\\\F=172\ N

Hence, the net force is 172 N.

At a certain point in space, there is a potential of 800 V relative to zero. What is the potential energy of the system when a +
sammy [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to electric potential and electric potential energy. By definition we know that the electric potential is determined under the function:

V = \frac{k_e q}{r}

k_e = Coulomb's constant

q = Charge

r = Radius

At the same time

U = \frac{k_e q_1q_2}{r}

The values of variables are the same, then if we replace in a single equation we have this expression,

U  = Vq

If we replace the values, we have finally that the charge is,

V = 800V

q = 1\mu C

U = (800V)(1*10^{-6}C)

U = 8*10^{-4}J

Therefore the potential energy of the system is 8*10^{-4} J

An astrophysicist mounts two thin lenses along a single optical axis (the lenses are at right angles to the line connecting them
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

1 / i + 1 / o = 1 / f     thin lens equations

i = o f / (o - f)   rearranging

Lens 1:   object = 30 cm    f = 15.2 cm

i1 = 30 * 15.2 / (30 - 15.2) = 30.8 cm

o2 = 40.2 - 30/8 = 9.4 cm    distance of image 1 from lens 2

i2 = 9.4 * 15.2 / (9.4 - 15.2) = - 24.6 cm

The final image is 24.6 cm to the left of lens 2

The first image is inverted

The second image is erect (as seen from the first image)

So the final image is inverted

M = m1 * m2 = (-30.8 / 30) * (24.6 / 9.4) = -2.69
