Five men push a stalled car with an average force of 400 N per person. Find the mass of the

The mass of the car is 2000 kg

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

In this problem, we have:

a=1 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the car

Each person applies a force of 400 N, and there are five men, so the total force applied is

\sum F = 5\cdot 400 N = 2000 N

Therefore, the mass of the car is:

m=\frac{\sum F}{a}=\frac{2000 N}{1 m/s^2}=2000 kg

The purpose of this lab is to explore the various ways to calculate projectile velocity using horizontal, vertical and angle inf
kolezko [41]

Answer: A projectile is any object in which the only force is gravity

Explanation: Equations on how to calculate projectile velocity is stated below:

The initial velocity Vo being a vector quantity, has two componentsVox and Voy  

V0x = V0 cos(θ) 

V0y = V0 sin(θ) 

The acceleration A is a also a vector with two components Axand Ay given

Ax = 0 and Ay = - g = - 9.8 m/s2 

Along the x axis the acceleration is equal to 0 and therefore the velocity Vx is constant  

Vx = Vocos(θ) 

Along the y axis, the acceleration is uniform and equal to - g and the velocity at time t is g

Vy = Vo sin(θ) - g t 

Along the x axis the velocity Vx is constant and therefore the component x of the displacement is

x = Vocos(θ) t 

Along the y axis, the motion is of uniform acceleration and the y component of the displacement is

y = Vo sin(θ) t - (1/2) g t2

Suppose that Lisa walks her dog around the block for a little exercise. The block is 1 mile around. If she walks around the bloc
natita [175]
Displacement only measure how far between the starting and ending point. In this case, Lisa walks around the block as a circle so the starting point is the same as the ending point. Thus, displacement is 0mile.
On the other hand, distance measures exactly how far she walks. In this case, the distance is 1 mile, same as the perimeter of the block.

How is the structure of an atom best described?
kondor19780726 [428]
Atoms is basic particles ,electrons,neutrons and the Regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons. So “a neutral core surrounded by mostly empty space”sounds pretty sure to me :)
