Basically, all of these questions use F = ma

m = 80 kg

a = 1.62

Weight = F = 80*1.62 = 129.6

The closest answer is B

Step One

Find the mass here on earth

m = F/a

F = 40 kg

a = 9.2

F = 40/9.2 = 4.34

Now take everything to the moon

F = 20 kg

a = ??

m = 4.34

a = F/m = 20/4.34 = 4.6 m/s^2

m = 40 kg

F = 20 N

a = ??

a = F/m = 20N/40kg = 1/2 m/s^2

Comment

All of these depend on F = m*a. None but the first one talk about vertical forces where gravity would play a part. Moving horizontally means that there is no gravitational force if there is no friction. a = 9.8 has nothing to do with the problem.

A 2000 kg car moves along a horizontal road at speed vo

Answer:

The shortest possible stopping distance of the car is 175.319 meters.

Explanation:

In this case we see that driver use the brakes to stop the car by means of kinetic friction force. Deceleration of the car is directly proportional to kinetic friction coefficient and can be determined by Second Newton's Law:

$\Sigma F_{x} = -\mu_{k}\cdot N = m \cdot a$ (Eq. 1)

$\Sigma F_{y} = N-m\cdot g = 0$ (Eq. 2)

After quick handling, we get that deceleration experimented by the car is equal to:

$a = -\mu_{k}\cdot g$ (Eq. 3)

Where:

$a$ - Deceleration of the car, measured in meters per square second.

$\mu_{k}$ - Kinetic coefficient of friction, dimensionless.

$g$ - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that $\mu_{k} = 0.0735$ and $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , then deceleration of the car is:

$a = -(0.0735)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )$

$a = -0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The stopping distance of the car ( $\Delta s$ ), measured in meters, is determined from the following kinematic expression:

$\Delta s = \frac{v^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot a}$ (Eq. 4)

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed of the car, measured in meters per second.

$v$ - Final speed of the car, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $v_{o} = 15.9\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $v = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $a = -0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , stopping distance of the car is:

$\Delta s = \frac{\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(15.9\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot \left(-0.721\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)}$

$\Delta s = 175.319\,m$

The shortest possible stopping distance of the car is 175.319 meters.

Elenna [48]

The Continental crust is also less dense than oceanic crust, though it is considerably thicker; mostly 35 to 40 km versus the average oceanic thickness of around 7-10 km. About 40% of the Earth's surface is now underlain by continental crust.

What is the speed of a wave frequency of 300hz and a wavelength of 25M

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

7500 m/s

Explanation:

We can use the equation velocity of a wave equals wavelength times frequency. Therefore, v = wavelength*f = (25 m)(300 Hz) = m/s7,500

A student of Physics applies a constant force of 25Newtons while lifting a heavy Physics book up into the air a distance of 2.0m

aleksley [76]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 3. The work done by the student to the book would be 50 J. The work done by gravity is simply the force of gravity times the displacement. That is 25N x 2 m and is equal to 50 J. Hope this answers the question.
