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

Troyanec [42]2 years ago

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.

A stone is dropped down a well and hits the water 2.50 s later. What is the depth from the edge of the well to the water? 61.3,
Gennadij [26K]

Answer;

30.6 m

Explanation;

All objects accelerate at the constant rate in the Earth's gravitational field. The gravitational acceleration, g = 9.8 m/s².

Distance traveled by an object falling down under a constant acceleration will be given the formula;

s = ut² + 1/2(gt²); but u the initial velocity is o

thus;

S =1/2(gt²)

  = 0.5 × 9.81 × 2.5 ²

  = 30.65

  ≈ 30.6 m

A 50,0 g silver spoon at 20.0°C is placed in a cup of coffee at
My name is Ann [436]

The heat capacity of the silver spoon at the given temperature difference is 817.65 J.

<h3>Heat capacity of the silver spoon</h3>

The heat capacity of theb silver spoon is the quantity of heat absorbed by the silver spoon. The heat capacity of the silver spoon at the given temperature difference is calculated as follows;

Q = mcΔθ

where;

  • m is mass of the spoon
  • c is specific heat capacity of silver = 0.237 J/g⁰C
  • Δθ is change in temperature

Q = 50 x 0.237 x (89 - 20)

Q = 817.65 J

Thus, the heat capacity of the silver spoon at the given temperature difference is 817.65 J.

A 225 kg block is pulled by two horizontal forces. The first force is 178 N at a 41.7-degree angle and the second is 259 N at a
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

52.9 N, 364.7 N

Explanation:

First of all, we need to resolve both forces along the x- and y- direction. We have:

- Force A (178 N)

A_x = (178 N)(cos 41.7^{\circ})=132.9 N\\A_y = (178 N)(sin 41.7^{\circ})=118.4 N

- Force B (259 N)

B_x = (259 N)(cos 108^{\circ})=-80.0 N\\B_y = (259 N)(sin 108^{\circ})=246.3 N

So the x- and y- component of the total force acting on the block are:

R_x = A_x + B_x = 132.9 N - 80.0 N =52.9 N\\R_y = A_y + B_y = 118.4 N +246.3 N = 364.7 N

four children pull on the same stuffed toy at the same time , yet there is no net force on the toy.how is this possible?
Kay [80]
There was no net force on the stuffed toy, because the kids might have the same strength,  The same force is on both sides of it.  T<span>hey cancel each other out. They exert a force on the stuffed toy equal in strength but opposite in direction. The forces are balanced and the stuffed toy does not move.  </span>Its like a game of tug-o-war, but you and I have the same strength. the rope would be still and not moving.
