According to Newton's second law, the force applied to an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
F=ma
where F is the magnitude of the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this problem, the object is the insect, with mass m=1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg. The acceleration of the insect is a=1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2, therefore we can calculate the force exerted by the car on the insect:
F=ma=(1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg)(1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2)=0.01 N

How do we find the force exerted by the insect on the car?
According to Newton's third law (known as action-reaction law), when an object A exerts a force on an object B, object B also exerts a force equal and opposite on object A. Therefore, the force exerted by the insect on the car is equal to the force exerted by the car on the object, so it is 0.01 N.

I don’t understand how to do this
anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

A) Use Hooke's law to find the spring constant.

F = kx

40 N = k (0.4 m)

k = 100 N/m

B) Period of a spring-mass system is:

T = 2π √(m / k)

T = 2π √(2.6 kg / 100 N/m)

T = 1 s

Frequency is the inverse of period.

f = 1 / T

f = 1 Hz

a body initially at rest, starts moving with a constant acceleration of 2ms-2 .calculate the velocity acquired and the distance
Marta_Voda [28]

a) 10 m/s

b) 25 m

Explanation:

a)

The body is moving with a constant acceleration, therefore we can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the body in this problem:

u = 0 (the body starts from rest)

a=2 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t = 5 s is the time

So, the final velocity is

v=0+(2)(5)=10 m/s

b)

In this second part, we want to calculate the distance travelled by the body.

We can do it by using another suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the distance travelled

Here we have

u = 0 (the body starts from rest)

a=2 m/s^2 is the acceleration

v = 10 m/s is the final velocity

Solving for s,

s=\frac{10^2-0^2}{2(2)}=25 m

if pete (mass =90.00kg) weighs himself and finds that he weighs 30.0 pounds, how far away from the earth is he?
Svet_ta [14]

Here we know that mass of the person is 90 kg

His weight is given as 30 lbf

so here we can convert it into Newton as we know that

1 lbf = 4.45 N

Now from above conversion

30 lbf = 30 \times 4.45 = 133.45 N

now we can use this to find the gravity at this height

mg = 133.45

90\times g = 133.45

g = 1.49 m/s^2

now we know that with height gravity varies as

g' = g(\frac{R}{R+H})^2

1.49 = 9.8(\frac{6.37\times 10^6}{6.37\times 10^6 + h})^2

h = 1.0 \times 10^7 m

so above is the height from the surface of earth

Consider a particle with unit charge q, and mass m, in a constant magnetic field B directed along the positive z–axis. The parti
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

it must be helical motion in which the charge particle will move uniformly along z axis and simultaneously it will move in circular path in xy plane.

Explanation:

Magnetic field is along z axis while velocity is in x-z plane

so we will have

F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)

so here we can say

F = q(u\hat i + w\hat k) \times (B \hat k)

so we will have

F = quB(-\hat j)

so here the net force on the charge is perpendicular to its x directional velocity along - Y direction

So due to this component of motion it will move along a circle while other component of the motion will remain uniform always

So here it is combination of two parts

1) Uniform circular motion

2) Uniform motion

So we can say that it must be helical motion in which the charge particle will move uniformly along z axis and simultaneously it will move in circular path in xy plane.
