1.A wagon with a mass of 20 kg is accelerating at 0.5 m/s2. What is the force on it?

Physics

erik [133]3 years ago
3 0

1). Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (20 kg) x (0.5 m/s )

Force = <em>10 Newtons</em>

2). Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

In this case, the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity.

1 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s )

Mass = (1 N) / (9.8 m/s )

Mass = <em>0.1 kg</em>

<em></em>

3).  Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

This formula is important. Memorize it !

You saw here that the same formula answered both of your questions.

It'll answer a lot more Physics questions that you haven't seen yet.

If you're taking a Physics class, there will DEFINITELY be at least one question on the final exam that will test you to see whether you know this formula and how to use it. Maybe more than one.

A skateboarder rolls off a 2.5 m high bridge into the river. If the skateboarder was originally moving at 7.0 m/s, how much time
saul85 [17]

Answer:

  t = 0.714 s and  x = 5.0 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile throwing exercise, in this case when the skater leaves the bridge he goes with horizontal speed

         vₓ = 7.0 m / s

Let's find the time it takes to get to the river

         y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

the initial vertical speed is zero and when it reaches the river its height is zero

        0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

        t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_o}{g}  }

        t = ra 2 2.5 / 9.8

        t = 0.714 s

the distance traveled is

       x = vₓ t

       x = 7.0 0.714

       x = 5.0 m

What is the frequency of a wave?
Paladinen [302]
The answer should be the number, or amount, of cycles that occur in a given time. Frequency is basically Hertz. Frequency is the number of waves that pass through a certain point every second. I hope that I was able to answer your question.
Peace out!
