What is the mass of a falling rock if it produces a force of 50 N?

1 answer:

8 0

×× $F=m \times a$ ×

50N is your force and the acceleration is -9.8m/s^2 due to gravity.

So, you just plug that in.

$50 N=m\times-9.8m/s^2\\
\frac{50}{-9.8}=m\\
m=-5.102$

BUT you know that mass cannot be negative, so you just disregard the negative sign and the mass of the rock is 5.102 grams.

Answer:

$a=500m/s^2$

Explanation:

We need only to apply the definition of acceleration, which is:

$a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t_f-t_i}$

In our case the final velocity is $v_f=10m/s$ , the initial velocity is $v_i=0m/s$ since it departs from rest, the final time is $t_f=0.02s$ and the initial time we are considering is $t_i=0s$

So for our values we have:

$a=\frac{10m/s-0m/s}{0.02s-0s}=500m/s^2$

3. A car has a mass of 2.50 x 10^3 kg. If the force acting on the car is 7.65 x 10^3 N to the

const2013 [10]

Answer:

3.06m/s² to the east

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car = 2.5 x 10³kg

Force acting on the car = 7.65 x 10³N

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car = ?

Solution:

From Newton's second law of motion:

Force = mass x acceleration

Acceleration = $\frac{Force }{mass}$ = $\frac{7.65 x 10^{3} }{2.5 x 10^{3} }$ = 3.06m/s² to the east

Answer:

The answer is 1.0 N

Explanation:

inclination of tray=12^{\circ}

gravitational Force=5 N

Now this gravitational force has two component i.e.

5\sin \theta is parallel to the tray =1.039 N

5\cos \theta is perpendicular to the tray =4.890 N

In the equation for centripetal force, which expression represents the centripetal acceleration of the object? mv2 StartFraction

Sphinxa [80]

Answer: $\frac{V^{2}}{r}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's 2nd Law of motion the force $F$ is proportional to the mass $Fm$ and acceleration $a$ :

$F=m.a$ (1)

On the other hand, the equation for the Centripetal force is:

$F=\frac{mV^{2}}{r}$ (2)

Where:

$V$ is the velocity

$r$ is the radius of the circular motion

Making (1) and (2) equal:

$m.a=\frac{mV^{2}}{r}$ (3)

Hence:

$a=\frac{V^{2}}{r}$ This is the expression for the centripetal acceleration

It should be noted, this acceleration is directed toward the center of the circumference of the circular motion (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).

After a great many contacts with the charged ball, how is the charge on the rod arranged (when the charged ball is far away)?

faust18 [17]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since, there is a negative charge present on the ball and a positive charge present on the rod. So, when the negatively charged metal ball will come in contact with the rod then positive charges from rod get conducted towards the metal ball.

Hence, the rod gets neutralized. But towards the metal ball there is a continuous supply of negative charges. Therefore, after the neutralization of positive charge from the rod there will be flow of negative charges from the metal ball towards the rod.

Thus, we can conclude that negative charge spread evenly on both ends.
