How much force is needed to stop a 120-kg ice-hockey player if he decelerates at 20 m/s²?

1 answer:

3 0

ANY force at all, acting in the right direction, will stop him.
But smaller forces will take longer.

In order to either speed him up or slow him down at the rate
of 20 m/s every second, the force required is

(mass) x (acceleration) = (120 kg) x (20 m/s²)

= (2400 kg-m/s²) = 2400 N .

The force can either increase or decrease his speed at that rate,
depending on the direction in which it acts on him.

If the force is exerted opposite to the direction in which he's already
moving, then it can stop him if it continues long enough.

8a.The mass of a girl is 40 kg. Calculate her weight. (g = 9.8 m/s)

yaroslaw [1]

Explanation:

Here,

Given,

Mass(m)=40 kg

Gram=9.8m/s

Now,

Weight=m x g

or, weight= 40x9.8

=392.0

A car is up on a hydraulic lift at a garage. The wheels are free to rotate, and the drive wheels are rotating with a constant an

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Wheels are rotating with constant angular velocity let say $\omega$

Presence of constant angular velocity show that there is no angular acceleration thus there is no tangential acceleration.

But any particle on the rim will experience a constant acceleration towards center called centripetal acceleration.

(a) yes, there will be tangential velocity which is given by

$v=r\cdot \omega$

where r=radial distance from center

(b)tangential acceleration

there would be no tangential acceleration as velocity is constant

(c)centripetal acceleration

Yes, there will be centripetal acceleration given by

$a_c=\omega ^2\times r$

How does the period affects the centripetal force?

Anna71 [15]

Answer:According to the Equation (2), centripetal force is proportional to the square of the speed for an object of given mass M rotating in a given radius R.

Explanation:The Period T. The time T required for one complete revolution is called the period. For. constant speed. v = 2π r T holds.
