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

Troyanec [42]3 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.

Which of these chemical equations demonstrates the law of conservation of mass as it applies to the combustion of ethane? A. 2 C
WINSTONCH [101]

A. 2 C₂ H₆ + 7 O₂ → 4 C O₂ + 6 H₂ O


according to law of conservation of mass , the total mass of reactants side must be same as the total mass of product side. so we need to check if each atom in the equation has same number on both side of the equation or not.

in this equation , we have

4 atoms of carbon left and 4 atoms of carbon on right

12 atoms of hydrogen on left and 12 atoms of hydrogen on right

14 atoms of oxygen on left and 14 atoms of oxygen on right

hydraulic lift is to be used to lift a 2100-kg weight by putting a weight of 25 kg on a piston with a diameter of 10 cm. Determi
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

840 cm

Explanation:

Note: A hydraulic press operate based on pascal's principle.

From pascal's principle

W₁/d₁ = W₂/d₂...................... Equation 1

Where W₁ and W₂ are the first and second weight, and d₁ and d₂ are the  first and second diameter of the piston.

make d₁ the subject of the equation

d₁ = W₁×d₂/W₂................ Equation 2

Given: W₁ = 2100 kg, W₂ = 25 kg, d₂ = 10 cm = 0.1 m.

Substitute these values into equation 2

d₁ = 2100(0.1)/25

d₁ = 8.4 m

d₁ = 840 cm

It takes at least 4 people to push a refrigerator up a 10-meter ramp. How many people would be needed to push the same refrigera
vaieri [72.5K]
Double the amount of people because the ramp went from 10-meter to 20-meter, so times by 2. 4 times 2 is 8.
The answer is 8 people.
Hope this helps!
