Weight = mg where m = mass and g = gravity = 10 (9.81....)
so m = w/g = 4.9 / 10(9.81....) = 0.49 (0.49949....)
if you get given g as 10, answer is 0.49 kg 
if you get given g as 9.81, answer is 0.50 (1sf)

Answer:

The grapefruit's mass is 0.5 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight = 4.9 N

We need to calculate the mass

Using formula of newton's second law

F = mg

m = \dfrac{F}{g}

Where, F = weight on earth

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

m = \dfrac{4.9}{9.8}

m =0.5\ kg

Hence, The grapefruit's mass is 0.5 kg.

Answer:

v = 5.15 m/s

Explanation:

At constant velocity, the cable tension will equal the car weight of 984(9.81) = 9,653 N

As the cable tension is less than this value, the car must be accelerating downward.

7730 = 984(9.81 - a)

a = 1.95 m/s²

kinematic equations s = ut + ½at² and v = u + at

-5.00 = u(4.00) + ½(-1.95)4.00²

u = 2.65 m/s    the car's initial velocity was upward at 2.65 m/s

v = 2.65 + (-1.95)(4.00)

v = -5.15 m/s

1.) True or False.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. Another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. This means that when you push on a wall, the wall pushes back on you with a force equal in strength to the force you exerted. 1.True 2.falues 3.true 4. not really sure on this one

The atoms in a sidewalk on a hot summer day are vibrating _____ the atoms in the sidewalk on a freezing day in winter.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

(A) more rapidly than

Explanation:

With higher temperatures, object's molecules (and atoms) have higher kinetic energy which is due to faster "jiggling" (vibrations). On a hot day these vibrations in the material the sidewalk is made of are more rapid than on a cold day, just as their temperatures differ.

Bus starts from rest if the acceleration of the bus is 0.5 MS squared what will be the velocity at the end of two minutes and wh
Nutka1998 [239]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the bus, u = 0

Acceleration of the bus, a = 0.5 m/s²

Let v is the velocity at the end of 2 minutes. The change in velocity divided by time equals acceleration.

So,

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\v=u+at\\\\v=0+0.5\times 120\\\\v=60\ m/s

Let d is the distance cover during that time. So,

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{(60)^2}{2\times 0.5}\\\\d=3600\ m

So, the final speed is 60 m/s and the distance covered during that time is 3600 m.

A 6,000N is applied to a formula one car that weighs 500kg. What is the car's acceleration?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

<h2>12 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 6000 N

m = 500 kg

We have

a =  \frac{6000}{500}  =  \frac{60}{5}  = 12 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>12 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
