Answer:10m/s^2

Explanation:

Mathematically,

Force =mass ×acceleration

Given force ( F )=20N

Mass ( m )=2.0kg

Acceleration ( a ) =?

Substitute them into the equation

20N =2kg ×a

Making a the subject by dividing through by 2

2kga/2 =20N/2kg

a =20N/2kg

a=10N/kg^1

a=10m/s^2

Answer:

10 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2

A 2.13-kg object on a frictionless horizontal track is attached to the end of a horizontal spring whose force constant is 5.00 N
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

17.54N in -x direction.

Explanation:

Amplitude (A) = 3.54m

Force constant (k) = 5N/m

Mass (m) = 2.13kg

Angular frequency ω = √(k/m)

ω = √(5/2.13)

ω = 1.53 rad/s

The force acting on the object F(t) = ?

F(t) = -mAω²cos(ωt)

F(t) = -2.13 * 3.54 * (1.53)² * cos (1.53 * 3.50)

F(t) = -17.65 * cos (5.355)

F(t) = -17.57N

The force is 17.57 in -x direction

A driver in a car traveling at a speed of 21.8m/s sees a cat 101 m away on the road. How long will it take for the car to accele
kobusy [5.1K]
The acceleration of the car will be needed in order to calculate the time. It is important to consider that the final speed is equal to zero:

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2ad\ \to\ a = \frac{-v_0^2}{2d} = -\frac{21.8^2\ m^2/s^2}{2\cdot 99\ m} = -2.4\frac{m}{s^2}

We can clear time in the speed equation:

v = v_0 + at\ \to\ t = \frac{-v_0}{a} = \frac{-21.8\ m/s}{-2.4\ m/s^2} = \bf 9.08\ s

If you find some mistake in my English, please tell me know.

How much work is done on a 75 newton bowling ball when you carry it horizontally across a 10 meter room
svlad2 [7]

F = force applied to hold the weight of the bowling ball = weight of the bowling ball = 75 N

d = distance through which the bowling ball is moved horizontally = 10 meter

θ = angle between the force in vertically upward direction  and displacement in horizontal direction = 90

W = work done on the bowling ball

work done on the bowling ball is given as

W = F d Cosθ

inserting the values

W = (75) (10) Cos90

W =  (75) (10) (0)

W = 0 J

a car traveling at a velocity of 2 m/s undergoes an acceleration of 4.5 m/s^2 over a distance of 340 m. How fast will it be goin
ra1l [238]
Vi = 2m/s
a= 4.5 m/s 
d= 340 m
vf= ?

use this equation ...  vf^2=vi<span>^2+2ad

you should get vf = 55.3
hope this helps </span>
