A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.09 ✕ 10−5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the grou

nd exerts a force of 0.340 ✕ 10−6 N on the flea. Find the direction and magnitude of the acceleration of the flea if its mass is 6.10 ✕ 10−7 kg. Do not neglect the gravitational force. (Assume that the breeze blows in the +x-direction and that the +y-direction is up.)

Answer:

a= 17.877 m/s² : Magnitude of the acceleration of the flea

β = 88.21°  :  Direction  of the acceleration of the flea

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Problem development

Look at the flea free body diagram in the attached graphic

The acceleration is presented in the direction of the resultant force (R) applied over the flea .

R= \sqrt{(F_{x})^{2} + (F_{y})^{2} }

R= \sqrt{(10.9)^{2}+(0.340)^{2}  } *10^{-6} N

R= 10.905*10⁻⁶ N

We apply the formula (1) to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the flea

∑F = m*a   m = 6.1 * 10⁻⁷ kg

R = m*a

a= R/m

a= (10.905*10⁻⁶) /  (6.1 * 10⁻⁷ )

a= 17.877 m/s²

β: Direction and magnitude of the acceleration of the flea

\beta = tan^{-1} (\frac{F_{y} }{F_{x} } )

\beta = tan^{-1} (\frac{10.9*10^{-6} }{0.340*10^{-6} } )

β = 88.21°

How does the law of inertia relate to how the planets in our solar system revolve around the sun?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

The law of inertia relates to revolution of planets round the sun due to constant motion of the planets round the sun.

Explanation:

Law of inertia states that a body at rest or uniform motion will continue to be at rest or uniform motion unless it is acted upon by an external force.

The gravitational force keeps the planets revolving round the sun in a uniform motion, this will continue till infinity unless equal and opposite force acts on our planets.

Therefore, the law of inertia relates to revolution of planets round the sun due to constant motion of the planets round the sun.

Starting from rest, a boulder rolls down a hill with constant acceleration and travels 3.00m during the first second.
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

a) 9.00 m b) 6.00 m/s  c) 12.00 m/s

Explanation:

a) If the acceleration is constant, and we know that the displacement during the first second was 3.00 m, as the boulder (assumed that we can treat it as a point mass) started from rest, we can say the following:

Δx = \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} = 3.00 m

As t = 1 s, replacing in the expression above, and solving for a, we have:

a = \frac{2*3.00m}{1s2} = 6.00 m/s²

In order to know how far it travels during the second second, we need to know the value of the speed after the first second, as it is the initial velocity when the second second begins:

vf = v₀ + a*t ⇒ vf = 0 + 6 m/s²*1s = 6.00 m/s

The total displacement, during the second second, will be as follows:

Δx = v₀*t + \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} = 6.00m/s*1s +\frac{1}{2}*6.00 m/s2*1s^{2}  = 9.00 m

⇒ Δx = 9.00 m

b) At the end of the first second, the final speed can be obtained as follows:

vf = v₀ + a*t ⇒ vf = 0 + 6 m/s²*1s = 6.00 m/s

c) At the end of the second second, the final speed can be obtained as follows:

vf = v₀ + a*t ⇒ vf = 0 + 6 m/s²*2s = 12.00 m/s

What are some ways to separate a mixture?
stiks02 [169]

la separación mecánica de un sólido de grano grueso, insoluble, en un líquido; consiste en verter cuidadosamente el líquido, después de que se ha sedimentado el sólido.  Por este proceso se separan dos líquidos miscibles, de diferente densidad, por ejemplola separación de un sólido disuelto en un líquido, por calentamiento, hasta que hierve y se transforma en vapor. Como no todas las sustancias se evaporan con la misma rapidez, el sólido disuelto se obtiene en forma pura, agua y aceite.
