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:

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

If the price of gasoline at a particular station in Europe is 5 euros per liter. An American student in Europe is allowed to use

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Number of gallons =2 gallon

Explanation:

given data:

rate of gasoline ineurope = 5 euro per liter

total money to buy gasoline = 40 euro

total gasoline an american can buy in europe $= \frac{40}{5}$

= 8 litres of gasoline

As given in the question 1 ltr is 1 quarts therefore

Total no. of quarts is 8 quarts

As from question 4 quarts is equal to one gallon, hence

Number of gallons $= \frac{8}{4} = 2 gallon$

A distant planet with a mass of (7.2000x10^26) has a moon with a mass of (5.0000x10^23). The distance between the planet and the

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a simple gravitational force problem using the equation:

$F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}$ where F is the gravitational force, G is the universal gravitational constant, the m's are the masses of the2 objects, and r is the distance between the centers of the masses. I am going to state G to 3 sig fig's so that is the number of sig fig's we will have in our answer. If we are solving for the gravitational force, we can fill in everything else where it goes. Keep in mind that I am NOT rounding until the very end, even when I show some simplification before the final answer.

Filling in:

$F_g=\frac{(6.67*19^{-11})(7.2000*10^{26})(5.0000*10^{23})}{(6.10*10^{11})^2}$ I'm going to do the math on the top and then on the bottom and divide at the end.
