A constant friction force of 25 N acts on a 65-kg skier for 15 s on level snow. What is the skier’s change in velocity

Answer:

\Delta v=5.77m/s

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law relates the net force <em>F</em> on an object of mass <em>m </em>with the acceleration <em>a</em> it experiments by <em>F=ma.</em> In our case the net force is the friction force, since it's the only one the skier is experimenting horizontally and the vertical ones cancel out since he's not moving in that direction. Our acceleration then will be:

a=\frac{F}{m}

Also, acceleration is defined by the change of velocity \Delta v in a given time t, so we have:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}

Since we want the change in velocity, <em>mixing both equations</em> we conclude that:

\Delta v=at=\frac{Ft}{m}

Which for our values means:

\Delta v=\frac{Ft}{m}=\frac{(25N)(15s)}{(65Kg)}=5.77m/s

What is the effect on the force of gravity between two objects if the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

B. It always decreases

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the foce of gravity is given by

F_G=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} where

G= Gravitational constant

m₁ = mass of first object

m₂ = mass of second object

r = the distance between both objects

If the mass of one object remains unchanged while the distance to the second object and the second object’s mass are both doubled, we have

F_{G2} =\frac{Gm_1(2m_2)}{(2r)^2} = \frac{2}{4} \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Therefore the gravitational force is halved. That is it will always decrease

Four children pull on the same stuffed toy at the same time yet there is no net force on the toy. How is this possible.
Stels [109]

Answer:

Net force is Zero.

Explanation:

If all forces that are equal and opposite are exerted on an object the resulting force will be Zero.

In a two-body collision, if the momentum of the system is conserved, then which of the
lakkis [162]

Answer:

c) may also be conserved

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved  in both elastic and inelastic type of collisions.

But the differences is that:

In an ELASTIC type of collisions, KINETIC ENERGY IS ALSO CONSERVED.

whereas, In an INELASTIC type of collision, KINETIC ENERGY IS NOT CONSERVED.

So unless until type of collision is specified, we can not say anything about the conservation of kinetic energy after collision.

Hence, may also be conserved is the appropriate option here.
