Answer:

233.43 N

Explanation:

Force: This is the product of mass and acceleration of a body.

The formula for force is given as,

F = ma .............. Equation 1

Where F = Net force on the bobsled, m = mass of the bobsled, a = acceleration of the bobsled

We can look for a using the equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as.............. Equation 2

Where V = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

making a the subject of the equation,

a = (v²-u²)/2s................... Equation 3

Given: v = 7.1 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( from rest), s = 8.1 m.

Substitute into equation 3

a = (7.1²-0²)/(2×8.1)

a = 50.41/16.2

a = 3.1 m/s²

Also given: m = 75.3 kg

Substitute into equation 1

F = 75.3×3.1

F = 233.43 N

Hence the net force on the bobsled = 233.43 N

A soccer ball is kicked from the top of one building with a height of H1 = 30.2 m to another building with a height of H2 = 12.0
viktelen [127]

Hi there!

Initially, we have gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy. If we set the zero-line at H2 (12.0m), then the ball at the second building only has kinetic energy.

We also know there was work done on the ball by air resistance that decreased the ball's total energy.

Let's do a summation using the equations:
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 \\\\PE = mgh

Our initial energy consists of both kinetic and potential energy (relative to the final height of the ball)

E_i = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2)

Our final energy, since we set the zero-line to be at H2, is just kinetic energy.

E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

And:
W_A = E_i - E_f

The work done by air resistance is equal to the difference between the initial energy and the final energy of the soccer ball.

Therefore:
W_A = \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + mg(H_1 - H_2) -  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

Solving for the work done by air resistance:
W_A = \frac{1}{2}(.450)(15.1^2)+ (.450)(9.8)(30.2 - 12) -  \frac{1}{2}(.450)(19.89^2)

W_A = \boxed{42.552 J}

A student took a calibrated 250.0 gram mass, weighed it on a laboratory balance, and found it read 266.5 g. What was the student
Kruka [31]

Answer:

B. 6.6%

Explanation:

The percentage error of a measurement can be calculated using the formula;

Percent error = (experimental value - accepted value / accepted value) × 100

In this question, the calibrated 250.0 gram mass is the accepted value while the weighed mass of 266.5 g is the experimental or measured value.

Hence, the percentage error can be calculated thus;

Percent error = (266.5-250.0/250.0) × 100

Percent error = 16.5/250 × 100

Percent error = 0.066 × 100

Percent error = 6.6%
