Newton's second law for an object's motion in one spatial dimension:

F = ma

F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.

From this equation, we can tell that, compared to a less massive object, a more massive object will need a bigger force to make it accelerate at the same rate. The 30kg sofa has the most mass out of all the above listed objects, therefore it will take the biggest force to accelerate at 1m/s²

If you fired a rifle straight upwards at 1000 m/s, how far up will the bullet get?

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

h = 51020.40 meters

Explanation:

Speed of the rifle, v = 1000 m/s

Let h is the height gained by the bullet. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh$

$h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}$

$h=\dfrac{(1000\ m/s)^2}{2\times 9.8\ m/s^2}$

h = 51020.40 meters

So, the bullet will get up to a height of 51020.40 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the equivalent resistance between points A and C if R1=1430, R2=1350, R3=1100, R4=1350, and R5=1150.

Marianna [84]

R1 + R4 = 1430 + 1350 = 2780 = R14 series combination of R1 & R4

R2 + R5 = 1350 + 1150 = 2500 = R25

The circuit has been reduced to 3 resistors in parallel

R314 = 2780 * 1100 / (2780 + 1100) = 788 this is the resistance of the parallel combination of R14 and R3

R31425 = 2500 * 788 / (2500 + 788) = 599 which is the equivalent of the circuit - you can also use the formula for 3 resistors in parallel but this seems simpler

Yes that's a true statement. That's why grandmother put a hot water bottle to warm up her bed, and not a hot bar of steel or lead.
