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

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

According to Newton's 2nd law

The force acting on a body produces acceleration in its direction which is directly propotional to the force but inversly propotinal to the mass of tbe body.

Explanation:

a = F/m

F = ma

Where( F) is force (m) is mass and (a) is acceleration.

Light does not move infinitely fast but has a finite speed. We normally use ""c"" to indicate the speed of light in science. Wri
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr

Explanation:

Light is usually defined as an electromagnetic wave that is comprised of a definite wavelength. It is of both types, visible and invisible. The light emitted from a source usually travels at a speed of about 3 × 10^8 meter/sec. This speed of light is commonly represented by the letter 'C'.

To write it in the metric system, it has to be converted into miles/hour.

We know that,

1 minute = 60 seconds

60 minutes = 1 hour

1 kilometer = 1000 meter

1 miles = 1.6 kilometer

Now,

= \frac{3 \times\ 10^8 meter \times\ 60 sec \times\ 60 min}{1 sec \times\ 1 min \times\ 1 hr}

= 1.08 × 10^12 m/ hr (meter/hour)

= \frac{1.08 \times\ 10^{12} meter \times\ 1 km \times\ 1 miles}{1 hr \times\ 1000 meter \times\ 1.6 km}

= 6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr (miles/hour)

Thus, the value for speed of light (C) in metric unit is 6.71 × 10^8 mi/hr.

19. A mass of gas has a volume of 4 m3, a temperature of 290 K, and an absolute pressure of 475 kPa. When the gas is allowed to
Aleks [24]

Recall this gas law:

\frac{P₁V₁}{T₁} = \frac{P₂V}{T₂}

P₁ and P₂ are the initial and final pressures.

V₁ and V₂ are the initial and final volumes.

T₁ and T₂ are the initial and final temperatures.

Given values:

P₁ = 475kPa

V₁ = 4m³, V₂ = 6.5m³

T₁ = 290K, T₂ = 277K

Substitute the terms in the equation with the given values and solve for Pf:

\frac{475*4}{290} = \frac{P₂*6.5}{277}

<h3>P₂ = 279.2kPa</h3>

A chemical equation lists NaHCO3(s) as a reactant. What does (s) indicate?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The (s) indicates that the state of matter for NaHCO3 is solid.

Explanation:

When a chemical reaction is written, the state of matter for each components of the reactants and products are mentioned in brackets along with their names or formulas.

For example, NaHCO3 has (s) mentioned in the brackets. The s shows that the state of matter for NaHCO3. (l) represents liquid format. (g) represents that the state of matter is gas.
