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

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 football is place kicked with a velocity having a vertical component of 12 m/s and a horizontal component of 6 m/s. Find the r
SSSSS [86.1K]

The velocity is given by:

V = √(Vx²+Vy²)

V = velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity, Vy = vertical velocity

Given values:

Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s

Plug in and solve for V:

V = √(6²+12²)

V = 13.42m/s

Now find the direction:

θ = tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)

θ = angle of velocity off horizontal, Vy = vertical velocity, Vx = horizontal velocity

Given values:

Vx = 6m/s, Vy = 12m/s

Plug in and solve for θ:

θ = tan⁻¹(12/6)

θ = 63.4°

The resultant velocity is 13.42m/s at an angle of 63.4° off the horizontal.

Help ASAP with equation and answer pls. Numbers 2 3 4
scoray [572]

Answer:

2. 200N

3.50kg

4.700N

Explanation:

Weight is another word for the force of gravity

Weight is a force that acts at all times on all objects near Earth.

F=m*g

where g=acceleration due to gravity

2. due to the gravitational fields of the earth , assume gravitational acceleration=10m/s2

F=20*10= 200N

3.same as above

mass=Force/gravitational acceleration

mass=500/10 = 50kg

4.force=mass*gravitational acceleration

force=70*10=700N

Why should it take significantly more energy to move a beam of alpha particles than a beam of beta minus (β–) particles?
a_sh-v [17]
An 'alpha particle' is the same thing as the nucleus of a helium atom ... 
a little bundle made of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

A 'beta' particle is an electron.

The mass of an alpha particle is more than 7,000 times the mass of 
an electron, so it certainly takes more energy to get it moving.
