Answer:

Huge amount of force

Explanation:

As per Newton's 2nd law of motion the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied on it. it can be expressed as

$F = mass \times acceleration$

Here the mass of the boulder is a lot. To give it large acceleration a huge amount of force will be needed to apply on it.

A cyclist is moving at a speed of 15 m/s. If the combined mass of the bike and person is 100 kg,

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum is equal to mass times velocity in kg and m/s, respectively. Therefore,

p = 100(15) so

p = 1500 $\frac{kg*m}{s}$

A combination lock has a 1.3-cm-diameter knob that is part of the dial you turn to unlock the lock. To turn that knob, you twist

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

0.04225 Nm

Explanation:

N = Force applied = 5 N

$\mu$ = Coefficient of static friction = 0.65

d = Diameter of knob = 1.3 cm

r = Radius of knob = $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1.3}{2}=0.65\ cm$

Force is given by

$F=N\mu\\\Rightarrow F=5\times 0.65\\\Rightarrow F=3.25\ N$

When we multiply force and radius we get torque

Torque on thumb

$\tau_t=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_t=0.021125\ Nm$

Torque on forefinger

$\tau_f=F\times r\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=3.25\times 0.0065\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=0.021125\ Nm$

The total torque is given by

$\tau=\tau_t+\tau_f\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.021125+0.021125\\\Rightarrow \tau=0.04225\ Nm$

The most torque that exerted on the knob is 0.04225 Nm

Vector A has a magnitude of 30 units. Vector B is perpendicular to vector Aand has a magnitude of 40 units. What would the magni

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units$

Explanation:

As we know that magnitude of two vectors is given as

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB cos\theta}$

here we know that

A = magnitude of vector A

B = magnitude of vector B

$\theta$ = angle between two vectors

so here we know that

A = 30 units

B = 40 units

angle = 90 degree

so we have

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2 + 2(30)(40)cos90}$

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}$

$|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units$
