The guy below is wrong!


F=ma
Where force = mass x acceleration

We dont have acceleration, a= change in velocity divided by the time taken.
a = v (final velocity) - u (initial) / t
a us 8-0 (at rest means u was 0) / 20 = 0.4

Using F=ma

F= mass x acceleration 
F= 4 x 0.4
F=1.6 N

1. A force acting on an object in the upward direction is 3 N. The force that would
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

We must perform a sum of forces on the body, that sum of forces is equal to zero. That is, the body is in balance and does not move.

ΣF = 0

3 - 3 = 0

This force is negative and acts by pointing downwards.

Newton began his academic career in 1667. For how long was he a working scientist? Was he a very productive scientist?
rjkz [21]
Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.

The Michelson-Morley experiment was designed to measure Group of answer choices the velocity of the Earth relative to the ether.
NISA [10]

Answer:

The Michelson-Morley was designed to detect the motion of the earth through the ether.

No such relation was found and the speed of light is assumed to be the same in all reference frames.

What is the pressure exerted when a force of 20 N is applied to an object over an area of 2 m2 ?
IgorC [24]

(20 N)/(2 m²) = (20/2) N/m² = 10 Pa

_____

The pascal (Pa) is the derived SI unit of pressure equal to 1 N/m².

6. A 2-kg ball B is traveling around in a circle of radius r1 = 1 m with a speed (vB)1 = 2 m/s. If the attached cord is pulled d
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball m = 2kg

Ball traveling a radius of r1= 1m.

Speed of ball is Vb = 2m/s

Attached cord pulled down at a speed of Vr = 0.5m/s

Final speed V = 4m/s

Let find the transverse component of the final speed using

V² = Vr²+ Vθ²

4² = 0.5² + Vθ²

Vθ² = 4²—0.5²

Vθ² = 15.75

Vθ =√15.75

Vθ = 3.97 m/s.

Using the conservation of angular momentum,

(HA)1 = (HA)2

Mb • Vb • r1 = Mb • Vθ • r2

Mb cancels out

Vb • r1 = Vθ • r2

2 × 1 = 3.97 × r2

r2 = 2/3.97

r2 = 0.504m

The distance r2 to the hole for the ball to reach a maximum speed of 4m/s is 0.504m

The required time,

Using equation of motion

V = ∆r/t

Then,

t = ∆r/Vr

t = (r1—r2) / Vr

t = (1—0.504) / 0.5

t = 0.496/0.5

t = 0.992 second
