3055. 5 kg*m/s2 you do (873kg)(3. 5m/s2)

Answer:

3055.5 N

Explanation:

a = 3.5 m/s^2, m = 873 kg

According to the Newton's second law of motion, force acting on a body is the product of mass of body and the acceleration of body.

F = m x a = 873 x 3.5 = 3055.5 N

the cross section area of a hole is 725cm^2. Given that the area of a circle is A=3.14r^2 , find the radius of the hole.

asambeis [7]

$The\ area\ of\ a\ circle\ = \pi r^2 \\ 725\ cm^2 = 3.14r^2 \\
230.57 cm^2 = r^2 \\ \sqrt{230.57\ cm^2} = r \\ \boxed{r = 15.18\ cm}$

The radius of a planet is 2400 km, and the acceleration due to gravity at its surface is 3.6 m/s2.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

$3.1\cdot10^{23}\:\mathrm{kg}$

Explanation:

We can use Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to solve this problem:

$g_P=G\frac{m}{r^2}$ ., where $g_P$ is acceleration due to gravity at the planet's surface, $G$ is gravitational constant $6.67\cdot 10^{-11}$ , $m$ is the mass of the planet, and $r$ is the radius of the planet.

Since acceleration due to gravity is given as $m/s^2$ , our radius should be meters. Therefore, convert $2400$ kilometers to meters:

$2400\:\mathrm{km}=2,400,000\:\mathrm{m}$ .

Now plugging in our values, we get:

$3.6=6.67\cdot10^{-11}\frac{m}{(2,400,000)^2}$ ,

Solving for $m$ :

$m=\frac{2,400,000^2\cdot3.6}{6.67\cdot 10^{-11}},\\m=\fbox{$3.1\cdot10^{23}\:\mathrm{kg}$}$ .

A metal rod has a moves with a constant velocity of 40 cm/s along two parallel metal rails through a magnetic field of 0.575 T.

love history [14]

Answer:

2.12/R mW

Explanation:

The electrical power, P generated by the rod is

P = B²L²v²/R where B = magnetic field = 0.575 T, L = length of metal rod = separation of metal rails = 20 cm = 0.2 m, v = velocity of metal rod = 40 cm/s = 0.4 m/s and R = resistance of rod = ?

So, the induced emf on the conductor is

E = BLv

= 0.575 T × 0.2 m × 0.4 m/s

= 0.046 V

= 46 mV

The electrical power, P generated by the rod is

P = B²L²v²/R

= B²L²v²/R

So, P = (0.575 T)² × (0.2 m)² × (0.4 m/s)²

= 0.002116/R W

= 2.12/R mW

A child whirls a 3.00 kg ball on a string .50 m from the axis of rotation in a horizontal circle. The ball makes 1 revolution in

melamori03 [73]

Answers:

a) $0.5 m/s^{2}$

b) $1.5 N$

Explanation:

a) The centripetal acceleration $a_{c}$ of an object moving in a uniform circular motion is given by the following equation:

$a_{c}=\omega^{2} r$

Where:

$\omega=1 \frac{rev}{s}$ is the angular velocity of the ball

$r=0.5 m$ is the radius of the circular motion, which is equal to the length of the string

Then:

$a_{c}=(1 \frac{rev}{s})^{2} 0.5 m$

$a_{c}=0.5 m/s^{2}$ This is the centripetal acceleration of the ball

b) On the other hand, in this circular motion there is a force (centripetal force $F$ ) that is directed towards the center and is equal to the tension ( $T$ ) in the string:

$F=T=m. a_{c}$

Where $m=3 kg$ is the mass of the ball

Hence:

$T=(3 kg)(0.5 m/s^{2})$

$T=1.5 N$ This is the tension in the string
