To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law that relates force as the product between acceleration and mass. From there, we will get the acceleration. Finally, through the cinematic equations of motion we will find the time required by the object.

If the Force (F) is 42N on an object of mass (m) of 83000kg we have that the acceleration would be by Newton's second law.

F = ma \rightarrow a = \frac{F}{m}

Replacing,

a =\frac{42N}{83000kg}

a =5.06*10^{-4}m/s^2

The total speed change

\Delta v = v_f -v_0 \rightarrow v_f =\text{Final velocity and } v_0 = \text{Initial velocity } we have that the value is 0.71m/s

If we know that acceleration is the change of speed in a fraction of time,

a= \frac{\Delta v}{t} \rightarrow t = \frac{\Delta v}{a}

We have that,

t= \frac{0.71m/s}{5.06*10^{-4}m/s^2 }

t = 1403.16s

Therefore the Rocket should be fired around to 1403.16s

lilavasa [31]
The work done is calculated by multiplying the Force by the distance. So, 10x20 = 200 joules.

What is the momentum of a 35–kilogram cart moving at a speed of 1.2 meters/second?
Alexus [3.1K]

Given:-

  • Mass of the cart (m) = 35 kg
  • Speed (consider Velocity) = 1.2 m/s

To Find: Momentum of the cart.

We know,

p = mv

where,

  • p = Momentum,
  • m = Mass &
  • v = Velocity.

Thus,

p = (35 kg)(1.2 m/s)

→ p = 42 kg m/s (Ans.)

Conclusion:-

A. ☑️ 42 kilogram - metre per second.

Based on the law of conservation of energy, how can we reasonably improve a machine’s ability to do work?
MrMuchimi

D. Redefine the machine’s system boundaries.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can't be created not destroyed. Energy, however, can be changed from one form to another. The law applies to isolated systems only. By redefining and expanding the system (including all factors affecting it) , the machine's ability to do work should improve.
