A container can hold a mass of 40 grams. If Jackson has a fake gold chain that has a density of 10 g/cm3 that occupies a space o

f 5 cm3, will the box be able to hold it? (D=M/V, V=M/D, M=DxV)

Use the formula M=D×V:

M=10 g/cm³ * 5 cm³ = 50 g

which is more than 40 grams, so the container cannot hold the chain.

A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2$

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N$

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase

An asteroid with a mass of 5.0 x 105 kg collides with the Earth and slides horizontally along the ground without bouncing (not a

V125BC [204]

The strength of the friction doesn't matter. Neither does the distance or the time the asteroid takes to stop. All that matters is that the asteroid has

1/2 (mass) (speed squared)

of kinetic energy when it lands, and zero when it stops.
So

1/2 (mass) (original speed squared)

is the energy it loses to friction in order to come to rest.

Two ping pong balls have been painted with metallic paint and charged by contact with an Van de Graaff generator. The charge on

andre [41]

Answer:

0.035 N

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Charge q1 = -3.31x10^(-7) C

Charge q2 = -5.7x10^(-7) C.

Distance between them, R = 22 cm = 0.22 m

Electrostatic force between to particles is given as:

F = (k* q1 * q2) / R²

F = (9 * 10^9 * -3.31 * 10^(-7) * -5.7 * 10^(-7)) / 0.22²

F = 0.035 N

A child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 12 rpm. If a constant friction torque of 12.5 Nm i

sammy [17]

Answer:

$-0.25 rad/s^2$

Explanation:

The equivalent of Newton's second law for rotational motions is:

$\tau = I \alpha$

where

$\tau$ is the net torque applied to the object

I is the moment of inertia

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration

In this problem we have:

$\tau = -12.5 Nm$ (net torque, with a negative sign since it is a friction torque, so it acts in the opposite direction as the motion)

$I=50.0 kg m^2$ is the moment of inertia

Solving for $\alpha$ , we find the angular acceleration:

$\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{-12.5 Nm}{50.0 kg m^2}=-0.25 rad/s^2$
