Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Explanation:

From he question we are told that

    The first mass is   m_1 = 0.42kg

      The second mass is  m_2 = 0.47kg

From the question we can see that at equilibrium the moment about the point where the  string  holding the bar (where m_1 \ and \ m_2 are hanged ) is attached is zero  

   Therefore we can say that

               m_1 * 15cm  = m_2 * xcm

Making x the subject of the formula  

                x = \frac{m_1 * 15}{m_2}

                    = \frac{0.42 * 15}{0.47}

                     x = 13.4 cm

Looking at the diagram we can see that the tension T  on the string holding the bar where m_1  \  and   \ m_2 are hanged  is as a result of the masses (m_1 + m_2)

     Also at equilibrium the moment about the point where the string holding the bar (where (m_1 +m_2)  and  m_3 are hanged ) is attached is  zero

   So basically

          (m_1 + m_2 ) * 20  = m_3 * 30

          (0.42 + 0.47)  * 20 = 30 * m_3

 Making m_3 subject

          m_3 = \frac{(0.42 + 0.47) * 20 }{30 }

                m_3 = 0.59 kg

A 20-N force acts on an object with a mass of 2.0kg. what is the objects acceleration?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

10 m/s^2

Explanation:

Equation: F = ma.

a = acceleration

m = mass

F = force

Because we are trying to find acceleration instead of force we want to rearrange the equation to solve for a which is F/m = a.

F = 20

m = 2

a = ?

a = F/m

a = 20/2

a = 10 m/s^2

How do I convert 200 yards into meters using Dimensional Analysis? Explain thoroughly. Thanks!
shtirl [24]

Explanation:

When doing this calculation manually, the formula of conversion that you need to use is yd / 1.0936 = m and this is the same formula used by the online calculator. For instance, 2yd = 1.83m and 15yd = 13.72m.

So 200 yards is (200 / 1.0936)

which is 182.88 Meters

Hope it helps..

g100num [7]

Answer:

0.3956

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd law of motion says that Force = Mass*Acceleration (f=ma) so to find the force used on the football you multiply it's mass by its acceleration.

0.43*0.92 = 0.3956.

0.4 if you round
