Force is (mass × acceleration) measured in Newton

Pressure is the 'force' per unit area measured in Newton/m^2 (pascal)

A police car is located 50 feet to the side of a straight road. A red car is driving along the road in the direction of the poli

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:74.33 feet per sec

Explanation:

Given

Police car is 50 feet side of road

Red car is 140 feet up the road

Distance between them is decreasing at the rate of 70 feet per sec

From figure

$x^2+y^2=z^2$

$z=\sqrt{140^2+50^2}$

z=148.66 feet

as the red car is moving

therefore its velocity magnitude is given by

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$2x\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}+0=2z\frac{\mathrm{d} z}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=z\frac{\mathrm{d} z}{\mathrm{d} t}$

$140\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=148.66\times 70$

$\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=74.33 feet\ per\ sec$

If a flea can jump straight up to a height of 0.410 m , what is its initial speed as it leaves the ground?

aivan3 [116]

Initial velocity = $v_0$

acceleration in the downward direction = -9.8 $\frac {m}{s^2}$

Final velocity at the highest point = 0

Maximum height reached = 0.410 m

Now, Using third equation of motion:

$\(v^2 = {v_0}^{2} + 2aH$

$\(0^2 = {v_0}^{2} - 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410$

${v_0}^{2} = 2 \times 9.8 \times 0.410$

$v_0 = 2.834 \frac {m}{s}$

Speed with which the flea jumps = $2.834 \frac {m}{s}$

Which is not a way to accelerate an object?

GREYUIT [131]

<span>Slowing an object down is not a means of accelerating it. It actually decelerates the motion of an object. Speeding it up, changing its direction and applying balanced forces accelerate an object. In order for an object to accelerate, a force must be applied. It follows Newton’s second law of motion where it states that a body at rest remains at rest unless a force is acted upon it. When you move an object, you are exerting a force onto it. By exerting a force on the object, you are actually displacing it from its initial position. You cannot apply force to the object without altering its position. Keep in mind that when you exert work, you are exerting energy too. </span>
