Answer:

Explanation:

Machines simply make work easier to do. They increase the amount of force exerted on a body and also the distance through which the force is applied. Also, they can also change the direction through which force on them is applied in order to produce much more work.

Work done = force x distance

The input force in a machine is attenuated to yield even more force. This is the purpose of designing a simple machine. When the force increases, more work would be produce with our little effort applied on the body.

Work done is a function of the force applied on a body and the distance through which it moves.

A man whose mass is 69 kg and a woman whose mass is 52 kg sit at opposite ends of a canoe 5 m long, whose mass is 20 kg. Suppose

dusya [7]

Answer:

the canoe moved 1.2234 m in the water

Explanation:

Given that;

A man whose mass = 69 kg

A woman whose mass = 52 kg

at opposite ends of a canoe 5 m long, whose mass is 20 kg

now let;

x1 = position of the man

x2 = position of canoe

x3 = position of the woman

Now,

Centre of mass = [m1x1 + m2x2 + m3x3] / m1 + m2 + m3

= ( 69×0 ) + ( 52×5) + ( 20× 5/2) / 69 + 52 + 20

= (0 + 260 + 50 ) / ( 141 )

= 310 / 141

= 2.19858 m

Centre of mass is 2.19858 m

Now, New center of mass will be;

52 × 2.5 / ( 69 + 52 + 20 )

= 130 / 141

= 0.9219858 m { away from the man }

To get how far, the canoe moved;

⇒ 2.5 + 0.9219858 - 2.19858

= 1.2234 m

Therefore, the canoe moved 1.2234 m in the water

A 400-kg object has a 100-Newton rightward net force being applied to it. What is the magnitude of the rightward acceleration on

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The answer to your question is a = 0.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Data

mass = m = 400 kg

Force = F = 100 N

acceleration = a = ? m/s²

Process

To solve this problem use Newton's second law that states that the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass of the body times its acceleration.

Formula

F = ma

solve for a

a = $\frac{F}{m}$

Substitution

$a = \frac{100}{400}$

Simplification and result

a = 0.25 m/s²

A rock with a mass of 0.3 kg falls from the top of a cliff. If it takes the rock 2.5 s to reach the ground, what was the impulse

kaheart [24]

Impulse=force x time
force=mass x acceleration due to gravity
force=
$300 \times 10 = 3000$
impulse =3000 x 2.5= ( sorry i don't have a calculator right now so you must calculate this yourself)
I converted from kg to g because it is the standard.
Hope this helps you.
