Explain the relationship between force, mass and acceleration in Newton's second law

Physics
1 answer:
Nikitich [7]3 years ago
7 0

Newton's  second law of motion describes what happens to a body when an external  force is applied to it.

Newton's second law of motion states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration. In mathematical form this is written as

F = ma

Where F is force , m is mass and a is acceleration. The math or logic  behind this is that if  you double the force, you double the acceleration, but if you double the mass, you cut the acceleration in half.

A bowling ball has a mass of 6 kg. What happens to its momentum when its speed increases from 2 m/s to 4 m/s?
mash [69]

Answer:

B) The initial momentum is 12 kg*m/s, and the final momentum is 24 kg*m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the product between its mass (m) and its velocity (v):

p=mv

Let's apply this formula to calculate the initial momentum and final momentum of the ball:

- initial momentum:

p_i = m v_i = (6 kg)(2 m/s)=12 kg m/s

- Final momentum:

p_f = m v_f = (6 kg)(4 m/s)=24 kg m/s

So, the correct answer is

B) The initial momentum is 12 kg*m/s, and the final momentum is 24 kg*m/s

What’s the velocity of a bike ride taking 45 mins over a distance of 4km
Y_Kistochka [10]

The <u>speed</u> of the ride is

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Speed = (4,000 m) / (45 min)

Speed = <em>88.89 m/s</em>

Speed = <em>1.481 m/s</em>

Speed = <em>5.333 km/hr</em>

There's not enough information given in the question to calculate the velocity of the ride.  For example ...

-- If the ride was completely in a straight line, then the velocity would be exactly equal to the speed.

-- If the rider went 2km from his house and then 2km back home again, his velocity for the whole ride would be zero.

We just don't know from the information given.

A student standing on the ground throws a ball straight up. The ball leaves the student's hand with a speed of 13.0 m/s when the
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

2.82 s

Explanation:

The ball will be subject to the acceleration of gravity which can be considered constant. Therefore we can use the equation for uniformly accelerated movement:

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

Y0 is the starting position, 2.3 m in this case.

Vy0 is the starting speed, 13 m/s.

a will be the acceleration of gravity, -9.81 m/s^2, negative because it points down.

Y(t) = 2.3 + 13 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

It will reach the ground when Y(t) = 0

0 = 2.3 + 13 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

-4.9 * t^2 + 13 * t + 2.3 = 0

Solving this equation electronically gives two results:

t1 = 2.82 s

t2 = -0.17 s

We disregard the negative solution. The ball spends 2.82 seconds in the air.
