See coulomb's law. Force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. So if you multiply r by 2, the force is multiplied by (½)² = ¼.
a. F/4
Answer:
1.0 m/s
Explanation:
First, convert to SI units.
0.30 km × (1000 m / km) = 300 m
5.0 min × (60 s / min) = 300 s
Speed is distance divided by time:
300 m / 300 s = 1.0 m/s
If he’s walking at a constant velocity there is no acceleration.
solid
Explanation:
because it has a definite shape and volume
Answer:
Explanation:
The vehicle is experiencing a large force created by the concrete wall.
Equation
vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a * d
Givens
vf = 0 The car eventually does stop.
vi = 72 km/hr * [ 1000 m/ km] * [1 hour / 3600 seconds]
vi = 20 meters / second
a = ?
m = 850 kg
Solution
vf^2 = vi^2 + 2a*d
0 = 20 m/s + 2* 2 *a
-20 m/s = 4a
-20/4 = a
a = - 5 m/s^2 The minus sign tells you the vehicle is slowing down. It sure should be.
Force = m * a
F = - 850 * (-5)
F = - 4250 N
The car provides a 4250 N force on it going east to west and a 4250 N force going from west to east provided by the concrete wall.
