The unit of force,newton is a derived unit.why?​
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Newton, the unit of force, is defined based on Newton's Second Law (F=ma), as the force required to give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 meter/second2. Thus, it is derived from these other units.

Grace [21]

Answer:

68.585m/sec , 779.1 N

Explanation:

To feel weightless, centripetal acceleration must equal g (9.8m/sec^2). The accelerations then cancel.

From centripetal motion.

F =( mv^2)/2

But since we are dealing with weightlessness

r = 480m

g = 9.8m/s^2

M also cancels, so forget M.

V^2 = Fr

V = √ Fr

V =√ (9.8 x 480) = 4704

= 68.585m/sec.

b) Centripetal acceleration = (v^2/2r) = (68.585^2/960) = 4704/960

= 4.9m/sec^2.

Weight (force) = (mass x acceleration) = 159kg x (g - 4.9)

159kg × ( 9.8-4.9)

159kg × 4.9

= 779.1N

6. A skier starts from rest at the top of a frictionless incline of height 20.0 m. At
n200080 [17]

Explanation:

a. KE at bottom = PE at top

½ mv² = mgh

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2 × 9.8 m/s² × 20.0 m)

v = 19.8 m/s

b. Work by friction = PE at top

mgμ d = mgh

d = h / μ

d = 20.0 m / 0.210

d = 95.2 m
