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

A 0.45-m metal rod moves 0.11 m in a direction that is perpendicular to a 0.80-T magnetic field in an elapsed time of 0.036 s. A
Gwar [14]

Answer:

1.1 V

Explanation:

L = 0.45 m

d = 0.11 m

B = 0.80 T

t = 0.036 s

Let e be the emf.

e = B v L

e = 0.80 x 0.11 x 0.45 / 0.036 = 1.1 V
