Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                         Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

For this man
on his bike:        Force = (20 kg) x (5 m/s²)

                                    =    100 newtons .

This is NOT the "force produced".

This is the force NEEDED in order to accelerate THAT man
and his bike at THAT rate.  If you don't have something that
can apply THAT force, then you can't create this situation,
and he'll just have to carry on, in the same direction and at
the same speed, without turning, slowing down, or speeding up.

A ball of mass 0.500 kg is carefully balanced on a shelf that is 2.70 m above the ground. What is its gravitational potential en
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is 13.23 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m = 0.5 kg

height of the shelf, h = 2.7 m

The gravitational potential energy is given by;

P.E = mgh

where;

m is mass of the ball

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h is height of the ball

Substitute the givens and solve for gravitational potential energy;

PE = (0.5 x 9.8 x 2.7)

P.E = 13.23 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is 13.23 J.

A bucket of water experiencing a gravitational force of 525 N is pulled from a water well. Net force in the Y direction is 45 N
vivado [14]

Answer:

T = 570 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The gravitational force acting on a bucket of water = 525 N

Net force in the Y direction is 45 N

We need to find the magnitude of the force of tension. It can be calculated as :

45 = T - 525

T = 525 + 45

T = 570 N

Hence, the force of tension is 570 N.

How are theories supported in the scientific community?
mafiozo [28]
They are unproven but accepted as fact.
Many experiments support them but they can be disproven by the results of a single experiment. Until then, they stand.
The third statement is correct.
