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.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The scientific questions here are:

a) How will climate change affect forests

b) How did life on Earth begin

c) Why did dinosaurs go extinct

Explanation:

Scientific question are logical quantifiable questions, whose answers can be measured. A good scientific question must have answers that can be tested by a carefully designed experiment or measurement. Some qualities like "prettiest" and "amazing" cannot be tested for nor are they measurable, and hence, they do not make a testable component of good scientific question.

I need help with questions 4 and 5 because my teacher is not good with explaining them to a better understanding (Geometry)

Helga [31]

Hello! I can help you with this!

4. For this problem, we have to write and solve a proportion. We would set this proportion up as 12/15 = 8/x. This is because we're looking for the length of the shadow and we know the height of the items, so we line them up horizontally and x goes with 8, because we're looking for the shadow length. Let's cross multiply the values. 15 * 8 = 120. 12 * x = 12. You get 120 = 12x. Now, we must divide each side by 12 to isolate the "x". 120/12 is 10. x = 10. There. The cardboard box casts a shadow that is 10 ft long.

5. For this question, you do the same thing. This time, you're finding the height of the tower, so you would do 1.2/0.6 = x/7. Cross multiply the values in order to get 8.4 = 0.6x. Now, divide each side by 0.6x to isolate the "x". 8.4/0.6 is 14. x = 14. There. The tower is 14 m tall.

If you need more help on proportions and using proportions in real life situations, feel free to search on the internet to find more information about how you solve them.

In this type of bond, electrons are lost or gained by atoms, and the atoms are held together by electrical attraction.

expeople1 [14]

In Ionic type of bonding, electrons are lost (more protons than electrons and positive charge) or gained (more electrons than protons, still a negative charge) by atoms, and the atoms are held together by electrical attraction in the process. Covalent bondings are the sharing of electrons as well as partial bondings. Covalent bondings’ electrons have the same charges thus, there is no gaining or losing electrons in the process of sharing. Strong bondings are applicable only to Hydrogen (H) atoms.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

bounce up and down

Explanation:

Buoys are used for two main reasons, one is to let the people on land know of a big incoming wave, while the second reason is to generate electricity. When a big wave is approaching the buoy starts to bounce up and down with the strength of the smalled previous waves and then bounce very strongly up as the bigger wave passes by. This movement is combined with pistons within the buoy in order to conduct electricity.
