How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?

Physics

The sum of forces = mass x acceleration

Ignoring all resisting forces like friction and air resistance, the only force is gonna be the one pushing the skier

So, 
Force = mass x acceleration

Now, we substitute the values given

Force = 68 x 1.2

And therefore, Force = 81.6 N

When an object is in circular motion it is constantly changing its velocity.
EleoNora [17]

Its tangential speed is constant although its velocity is changing. As the object changes direction, it results in a changing of positive and negative signs of the velocity. Although, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) is not changing.

An insulated beaker with negligible mass contains 0.250 kg of water at 75.0C. How many kilograms of ice at -20.0C must be droppe
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The amount of kilograms of ice at -20.0°C that must be dropped into the water to make the final temperature of the system 40.0°C = 0.0674 kg

Explanation:

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = Heat lost by the water

Total Heat gained by ice = Heat used by ice to move from -20°C to 0°C + Heat used to melt at 0°C + Heat used to reach 40°C from 0°C

To do this, we require the specific heat capacity of ice, latent heat of ice and the specific heat capacity of water. All will be obtained from literature.

Specific heat capacity of ice = Cᵢ = 2108 J/kg.°C

Latent heat of ice = L = 334000 J/kg

Specific heat capacity of water = C = 4186 J/kg.°C

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = mCᵢ ΔT + mL + mC ΔT = m(2108)(0 - (-20)) + m(334000) + m(4186)(40 - 0) = 42160m + 334000m + 167440m = 543600 m

Heat lost by water = mC ΔT = 0.25 (4186)(75 - 40) = 36627.5 J

543600 m = 36627.5

m = 0.0674 kg = 67.4 g of ice.

Two vectors have magnitudes of 10 and 15. The angle between them when they are drawn with their tails at the same point is 65. T
IrinaK [193]

Two vectors have magnitudes of 10 and 15. The angle between them when they are drawn with their tails at the same point is 65. The component of the longer vector along the line of the shorter is 6.33 .

A vector is a quantity or phenomenon that has two independent properties: magnitude and direction. The term also denotes the mathematical or geometrical representation of such a quantity. Examples of vectors in nature are velocity, momentum, force, electromagnetic fields, and weight.

The taller component will be 15 . There will be two components taller component , one in the direction of shorter component and other perpendicular to the shorter wavelength .

The component of longer wavelength in the direction of shorter will be  

= 15 cos (theta ) = 15 cos (65) = 6.33

where theta  is the angle between both the vectors

An object weighing 150 N and is suspended from the ceiling by a wire. What is the tension in the cord?​
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

<h2>150N</h2>

Explanation:

According to newton's third law of motion, Action and reaction are equal and opposite, hence for an object that weighs 150N suspended by a wire, the tension on the wire is 150N

Ultimately the tension on a string or an object is equal to the mass times   gravity(which is same as the weight of the object)
