A 58-kg skater is standing still in front of a wall. By pushing against the wall she propels herself backward with a velocity of

-1 m/s. Her hands are in contact with the wall for 0.80 s. Ignore friction and wind resistance. Find the magnitude and direction of the average force she exerts on the wall (which has the same magnitude, but opposite direction, as the force that the wall applies to her).

Answer:

F = -72.5 N

Explanation:

You can do this excercise in two ways.

The first way is using the second law of Newton which is:

F = m*a

You should calculate the acceleration and then solve for F.

The second way is to use the formula of momentum which is:

F*t = m*V

Here, you only need to put the data of the excercise and solve for F.

Either way you do this, you'll get the same result.

I'll do it by both methods to prove it:

First method:

Assuming that the innitial speed is 0 (because is standing still) acceleration would be:

a = Vf/t

Solving for a:

a = -1/0.8 = -1.25 m/s^2

Now, let's solve for F:

F = 58 * (-1.25) = -72.5 N

Second method:

We know that F*t = m*V so:

F = m*V/t

F = 58 * (-1) / 0.8

F = -72.5 N

1 . According to the nebular theory, the solar system formed from ?
oee [108]
1. The correct answer is B. The nebular theory states that the solar system is the result of the collapse, for unknown reasons, of a large, thin cloud of dust and gas. After this collapse<span>, the pockets of gas and dust started gathering into denser regions. As these regions collected more and more matter, they started to rotate, which led to the accumulation of a big ball in the </span>center<span>, the Sun, and </span>flattenedmatter around, the protoplanetary disc. Then the planets got formed by the accretion of this disc, which eventually created the planets. 

2. The correct answer is D. The terrestrial<span> planets were formed by </span>accretion<span> of material that was denser in its constitution. This is the reason why they remained closer to the sun - they were heavier than gas, that is the material the Jovian planets are mostly made of.</span><span />

How is thermal energy from the sun distributed on Earth ?
Mrac [35]
Conduction and convection both require some material substance
to move heat from one place to another, and there's none of that
between the sun and Earth. 

The only way for thermal energy to move from place to place with
nothing in between is by the process of radiation, and that's how
it gets here from the sun.

How does gravity work in space? Please help!​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

gravityis an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other. So, the closer objects are to each other, the stronger their gravitational pull is. Earth's gravity comes from all its mass .

What is the resultant of a pair of one pound forces at right angles to each other?
OleMash [197]

Answer:

F_R=\sqrt{2} \ pound.force

Explanation:

Given that there are two force of 1 pound each at right angles to each other.

The from the vector law of addition:

F_R=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2}

where:

F_R= resultant force

F_1\ \&\ F_2 be the two of the forces to be added.

F_R=\sqrt{1^2+1^2}

F_R=\sqrt{2} \ pound.force
