We are given that:

m = 5.5 kg

d = 12 m

t = 1.75 s

Using the distance formula, we can get the acceleration of the ball:

d = (1/2) a*t^2

Rearranging:

a = 2d/t^2 = 2*(12 m)/(1.75 s)^2

a = 7.837 m/s^2

 

<span>Using Newton’s 2nd law, force is defines as:</span>

F = ma

F = 5.5 kg (7.837 m/s^2)

<span>F = 43.10 N</span>

Two blocks are the same size one block has a higher temperature than the other. Which describes the thermal energy of these bloc
shepuryov [24]
The block that has a higher temperature describes the thermal energy of these blocks. Thermal energy is a measure of internal energy - therefore, the block with the higher temperature has more internal energy than the block with the lower temperature, meaning it's thermal energy is greater.

Help me find the acceleration
ANEK [815]

a = 3.09 m/s²

<h3>Explanation</h3>

This question doesn't tell anything about how long it took for the car to go through 105 meters. As a result, the <em>timeless </em>suvat equation is likely what you need for this question.

In the <em>timeless</em> suvat equation,

a = \dfrac{v^2 - u^2}{2\; x}

where

  • a is the acceleration of the car;
  • v is the <em>final</em> velocity of the car;
  • u is the <em>initial</em> velocity of the car; and
  • x is the displacement of the car.

Note that <em>v</em> and <em>u</em> are velocities. Make sure that you include their signs in the calculation.

In this question,

  • a is the unknown;
  • v = -10.9 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2};
  • u = -27.7 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}; and
  • x = - 105 \; \text{m}.

Apply the <em>timeless</em> suvat equation:

a = \dfrac{v^{2} - u^{2}}{2\; x}\\\phantom{a} = \dfrac{(-10.9)^{2} - (-27.7)^{2}}{2 \times (-105)}\\\phantom{a} = 3.09 \; \text{m} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}.

The value of a is greater than zero, which is reasonable. Velocity of the car is negative, meaning that the car is moving backward. The car now moves to the back at a slower speed. Effectively it accelerates to the front. Its acceleration shall thus be positive.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

3.6\times10^{23} N

Explanation:

F=\frac{GmM}{r^2}=4\times10^{22} N

F'=\frac{GmM}{(r/3)^2}=9\frac{GmM}{r^2}=9\times4\times10^{22}=3.6\times10^{23} N
