<u>Answer:</u>

0.5 ms−2

<u>Explanation</u>:

Newton's second law of motion is mathematically expressed as

F = ma ; where F is the force exerted on an object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of that object.

In this case, the mass of the car and the force exerted on it are provided as information.

Let's plug in the values into the formula

F = ma :

⇒600

N =1200

kg × a

Let's express N

using SI base units:

⇒600 kg m s−2 = 1200 kg × a

⇒600 kg m s−2 = 1200 kg = 1200 kg

1200 kg × a

⇒1 on 2 ms −2 = 1 × a

∴ a = 0.5 ms−2

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is

0.5 ms−2

when its engine exerts a force of 600N

Answer:

(a) 45 micro coulomb

(b) 6 micro Coulomb

Explanation:

C = 3 micro Farad = 3 x 10^-6 Farad

V = 15 V

(a) q = C x V

where, q be the charge.

q = 3 x 10^-6 x 15 = 45 x 10^-6 C = 45 micro coulomb

(b)

V = 2 V, C = 3 micro Farad = 3 x 10^-6 Farad

q = C x V

where, q be the charge.

q = 3 x 10^-6 x 2 = 6 x 10^-6 C = 6 micro coulomb

When you jump from an elevated position you usually bend your knees upon reaching the ground. By doing this, you make the time o

Answer:

c. about 1/10 as great.

Explanation:

While jumping form a certain height when we bend our knees upon reaching the ground such that the time taken to come to complete rest is increased by 10 times then the impact force gets reduced to one-tenth of the initial value when we would not do so.

This is in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion which states that the rate of change in velocity is directly proportional to the force applied on the body.

Mathematically:

$F\propto\frac{d}{dt} (p)$
