Explain how the weight of an object is an application of newton's second law

1 answer:

4 0

Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. According to Newton’s laws of motion, force is directly proportional to both mass and acceleration, and the equation for force is F=m*a, where m is mass and a is acceleration. We can use this equation to solve for weight.

The pressure inside a blimp is 506 Pa, if the area is 3,000cm2 then what is the force?

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The force acting on the blimp can be found by using the formula

p is the pressure

a is the area

3000 cm² = 0.3 m²

From the question we have

f = 506 × 0.3

We have the final answer as

What is the volume of a rock with a density of 3.00 g/cm3 and a mass of 600g?

Mademuasel [1]

The equation of D = m/V

Where D = density
m = mass
and V = volume

We are solving for V, so with the manipulation of variables we multiply V on both sides giving us
V(D) = m
now we divide D on both sides giving us
V = m/D

We know our mass which is 600g and our density is 3.00 g/cm^3
so
V = 600g/3.00g/cm^3 = 200cm^3 or 200mL

a cubic centimeter (cm^3) is one of the units for volume. It's exactly like mL. 1 cm^3 = 1 mL

If you wish to change it to L, you'd have to convert.

A 100 Kg man is diving off a 50 meter cliff. What is his kinetic energy when he is 20 meters from the water?

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

$K.E=29.403125J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass $M=100$

Height $50-20=30m$

Generally the equation for velocity before impact is is is mathematically given by

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2*9.8*30}$

$v=24.25$

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is is mathematically given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}*100*(24.25)^2\\$

$K.E=29403.125J$

$K.E=29.403125J$

A car is moving in uniform circular motion. If the cars speed were to double to keep the car moving with the same radius the acc

Stells [14]

Answer:

<em>The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4</em>

<em>Correct choice: B.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

The circular motion is described when an object rotates about a fixed point called center. The distance from the object to the center is the radius. There are other magnitudes in the circular motion like the angular speed, tangent speed, and centripetal acceleration. The formulas are:

$v_t=w\ r$
