Answer:
You could use newton’s second law to calculate the force applied to an object if you knew the objects mass and its <u>acceleration.</u>
Explanation:
By, Newtons second law, the force applied on an object directly varies with the acceleration caused and the mass of the object.
This is given by :

Where
represents force applied on the object ,
represents mass of the object and
represents the acceleration.
In order to calculate force applied on object we require the mass of the object and its acceleration. The force can be calculated by finding the product of mass and acceleration of the object.
Answer:
a₁ = 0.63 m/s² (East)
a₂ = -1.18 m/s² (West)
Explanation:
m₁ = 95 Kg
m₂ = 51 Kg
F = 60 N
a₁ = ?
a₂ = ?
To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the man we apply
∑Fx = m*a (⇒)
F = m₁*a₁ ⇒ 60 N = 95 Kg*a₁
⇒ a₁ = (60N / 95Kg) = 0.63 m/s² (⇒) East
To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the woman we apply
∑Fx = m*a (⇒)
F = -m₂*a₂ ⇒ 60 N = -51 Kg*a₂
⇒ a₂ = (60N / 51Kg) = -1.18 m/s² (West)
For every case we apply Newton’s 3
d Law
<h2>
The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.</h2>
Explanation:
One period means time taken to complete one revolution.
In case of swings in one period time it travels the same position through two times.
Here we need to find how many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the course of 3 period(s) of motion.
For 1 period = 2 times
For 3 periods = 3 x For 1 period
For 3 periods = 3 x 2 times
For 3 periods = 6 times
The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.
