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

Physics

Rasek [7]3 years ago

××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.

What is a travelling wave and a standing wave? What are the differences between both of them?
solniwko [45]
What is a travelling wave and a standing wave? What are the differences between both of them?

Answer: First of all we have to understand that a traveling wave is an organized disturbance traveling with a well defined wave speed. On the other hand standing waves are the combination of period waves with their reflected waves creating double sided waves. The differences between them is that standing waves have nodes and antinodes while a traveling wave does not.

I hope it helps, Regards.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

<u>Please Mark As Brainliest!!</u>

a) 4.99 rad/sec b) 6.24 rad/sec c) 7.03 J

Explanation:

a)  If the student completes one turn in 1.26 sec, this is called the period of the movement.

If we take into account that the angle rotated during one turn is 2π rads, by definition of angular velocity, we can get this value as follows:

ω = Δθ / Δt = 2*π rad / 1.26 seg = 4.99 rad/sec.

b) As no external torques are acting on the system, the total angular momentum must be conserved, so we can write the following equation:

Li = Lf   ⇒  I₁ * ω₁  = I₂* ω₂

So, we can solve for ω₂, as follows:

ω₂ = (I₁ * ω₁) / I₂ = 6.24 rad/sec

c) Appying the work-energy theorem, we know that the work done by the student, must be equal to the change in the kinetic energy, which in this case is only rotational, so we can write:

W = 1/2 I₂* ω₂² - 1/2 I₁ ω₁²

W =1/2 ((2.25 kg.m² * (6.24)²) (rad/sec)² - (1.8 kg.m²* (4.99)²) (rad/sec)²)  

W = 7.03 J

A constant net force of 20 N is applied to a 32kg car, causing it to speed up from 4.0 to 9.0 m/s. How long is the force applied
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

From Newton's second law;

Ft = m(v-u)

F = Force applied

t = time taken

v = final velocity

u  = initial velocity

20 * t = 32 (9 - 4)

20t = 32 * 5

t = 32 * 5/ 20

t = 8 seconds

A wave has a wavelength of 5m and frequency of 5 Hz. What is the speed of the wave?​
Anna71 [15]
If you multiply m (the unit for wavelength) with 1s (the unit for frequency), you will get m/s, the unit for speed. Now multiply! 25 m/s is your final answer!
