Answer:

5 m/s2, left

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law of motion, which  states that:

\sum F=ma

where:

\sum F is the net force acting on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

In this problem, we have:

\sum F=30 N - 20 N = 10 N (to the left) is the net force on the object

m = 2.0 kg is the mass

So, the acceleration is:

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{10}{2.0}=5.0 m/s^2

in the same direction as the force (left).

The difference in weight is due to the displacement of water (the buoyancy of water is acting on the athlete thus giving her smaller weight).<span>

The amount of weight displaced or the amount of buoyant force is: </span>

Fb = 690 N - 48 N

Fb = 642 N

From newtons law, F = m*g. Using this formula, we can calculate for the mass of water displaced:

m of water displaced = 642N / 9.8m/s^2

m of water displaced = 65.5 kg

Assuming a water density of 1 kg/L, and using the formula volume = mass/density:

V of water displaced = 65.5kg / 1kg/L = 65.5 L

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of athlete. Therefore:

V of athlete = 65.5 L

The mass of athlete can also be calculated using, F = m*g

m of athlete = 690 N/ 9.8m/s^2

m of athlete = 70.41 kg

 

Knowing the volume and mass of athlete, her average density is therefore:

average density = 70.41 kg / 65.5 L

<span>average density = 1.07 kg/L = 1.07 g/mL</span>

Find the acceleration a body whose velocity increases from 11m/s to 33m/s in 10 seconds
solong [7]

Answer:

1.1 m/(s)^2

Explanation:

u=11 m/s

v=33 m/s

t=10s

v=u+at

=> 33=22+(a)(10)

=> 33-22=10a

=> 10a=11

=> a=11/10=1.1 m/(s)^2
