Rearrange the equation F = ma to solve for acceleration<span>. You can change this formula around to solve for </span>acceleration<span> by dividing both sides by the mass, so: a = F/m. To find the </span>acceleration<span>, simply divide the force by the mass of the </span>object <span>being accelerated.

Hope i helped :)</span>

Answer:

\large \boxed{{\displaystyle A=\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}}}

Explanation:

\displaystyle acceleration = \frac{change \ in \ velocity }{elapsed \ time}

\displaystyle A=\frac{V_f-V_i}{t}

If a 60 kg student is standing on the edge of a cliff. Find the students gravitational potential of the cliff is 30 m high
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

17640J

Explanation:

Give mass m= 60kg

Height h =30m

Since the student is standing on the edge of a cliff , acceleration due to gravity g is 9.8m/s^2

The student’s gravitational potential energy can be found by the formula

mgh

That’s 60 x 9.8 x 30

= 17640J

The momentum of light, as it is for particles, is exactly reversed when a photon is reflected straight back from a mirror, assum
LenKa [72]

Answer:

a)   E = 2.00 10³ J , b)   I = 6.66 10⁻⁶ N s , c)   F = 1.66 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

a) The intensity is defined as the power per unit area

          I = P / A

          P = I A

Power is energy for time

         P = E / t

We replace

        E / t = I A

        E = I A t

        E = 1.0 10³ 2.0 1.00

        E = 2.00 10³ J

b) The moment is

       p = U / c

In the case of a reflection the speed is reversed, so the moment

      Δp = 2 U / c

       I = Δp

       I = 2 U / c

       I = 2.00 10³/3 10⁸

       I = 6.66 10⁻⁶ N s

c) The defined impulse is

        I = F t

       F = I / t

For a time of 1 s

       F = 6.66 10⁻⁶ / 1

       F = 1.66 10⁻⁶ N

d) Suppose n small mass mirror m = 10 10⁻³ kg, we write Newton's second law

        F = ma

        a = F / m

        a = 1.66 10⁻⁶ / 10 10⁻³

         a = 1.66 10⁻⁴ m / s

We see that the acceleration is very small and attended to increase the mass of the mirror will be less and less, so the assumption of no twisting of the mirror is very reasonable

A sperm whale can accelerate at about 0.0800 m/s 2 0.0800 m/s 2 when swimming on the surface of the ocean. How far will a sperm
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

26.64 m

Explanation:

Given the following :

Acceleration at ocean surface = 0.0800 m/s²

Distance covered if initial speed = 0.700 m/s and accelerates to a speed of 2.18m/s

Using the equation :

v² = u² + 2as

Where ;

v = final velocity ; u = initial velocity ; a = acceleration ; s = distance covered

Therefore,

v² = u² + 2as

2.18² = 0.7² + (2 × 0.08 × s)

4.7524 = 0.49 + 0.16s

4.7524 - 0.49 = 0.16s

4.2624 = 0.16s

s = 4.2624 / 0.16

s = 26.64 m
