Z. A force that gives a 8-kg objet an acceleration of 1.6 m/s^2 would give a 2-kg object an
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf D.\ 6.4\ m/s^2}}

Explanation:

We need to find the acceleration of the 2 kilogram object. Let's complete this in 2 steps.

<h3>1. Force of 1st Object </h3>

First, we can find the force of the first, 8 kilogram object.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

F=m \times a

The mass of the object is 8 kilograms and the acceleration is 1.6 meters per square second.

  • m= 8 kg
  • a= 1.6 m/s²

Substitute these values into the formula.

F= 8 \ kg * 1.6 \ m/s^2

Multiply.

F= 12.8 \ kg*m/s^2

<h3>2. Acceleration of the 2nd Object </h3>

Now,  use the force we just calculated to complete the second part of the problem. We use the same formula:

F= m \times a

This time, we know the force is 12.8 kilograms meters per square second and the mass is 2 kilograms.

  • F= 12.8 kg *m/s²
  • m= 2 kg

Substitute the values into the formula.

12.8 \ kg*m/s^2= 2 \ kg *a

Since we are solving for the acceleration, we must isolate the variable (a). It is being multiplied by 2 kg. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 kg.

\frac {12.8 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg}= \frac{2\ kg* a}{2 \ kg}

\frac {12.8 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg}=a

The units of kilograms cancel.

\frac {12.8}{2}\ m/s^2=a

6.4 \ m/s^2=a

The acceleration is 6.4 meters per square second.

What is the magnitude of the force needed to keep a 60 newton rubber block moving across level,dry asphalt in a straight line at
pantera1 [17]

let Coefficients of Friction of Rubber on asphalt (dry) =0.7

F= Coefficients of Friction * normal force = 0.7 * 60 =42 N

so the net force of the rubber is zero, meaning it will travel at a constant speed.

When the rubber is travel at 2m/s, 42N is required to keep moving at constant speed

Halleys comet has period of 75.3 years. Using Kepler’s third law, find it’s semimajor axis expressed in astronomical units?
natta225 [31]

Answer: 17.83 AU

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.  </em>

T^{2}\propto a^{3}  (1)

Talking in general, this law states a relation between the <u>orbital period</u> T of a body (moon, planet, satellite, comet) orbiting a greater body in space with the <u>size</u> a of its orbit.

However, if T is measured in <u>years</u>, and a is measured in <u>astronomical units</u> (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth: 1AU=1.5(10)^{8}km), equation (1) becomes:

T^{2}=a^{3}  (2)

This means that now both sides of the equation are equal.

Knowing T=75.3years and isolating a from (2):

a=\sqrt[3]{T^{2}}=T^{2/3}  (3)

a=(75.3years)^{2/3}  (4)

Finally:

a=17.83AU  (5)
