When a net force of 17.0 newtons is applied to a dictionary placed on a frictionless table, it accelerates by 3.75 meters/second

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)    (Newton's second law of motion)

Divide both sides of the equation by 'acceleration', and you have

Mass = (force) / (acceleration)

Mass = 17 newtons / 3.75 meters per second-sqrd = 4.533 kilograms (rounded)

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10^5 Pa. People can normally snorkel down to a depth of roughly one meter. What
natulia [17]

Answer:

1.01 × 10⁵ Pa  

Explanation:

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa.

We need to find the total pressure on the air in the lungs of a person to a depth of 1 meter.

Pressure at a depth is given by :

P=\rho gh

Where

\rho is the density of air, \rho=1.225\ kg/m^3

So,

P=1.225\times 9.8\times 1\\\\=12\ Pa

Total pressure, P = Atmospheric pressure + 12 Pa

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa + 12 Pa

= 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Hence, the total pressure is 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.

A train has a length of 81.1 m and starts from rest with a constant acceleration at time t = 0 s. At this instant, a car just re
arlik [135]

Answer: a) vcar= 7 m/s ; b) a train= 0.65 m/s^2

Explanation: By using the kinematic equation for the car and the train we can determine the above values of the car velocity and the acceletarion of the train, respectively.

We have for the car

distance = v car* t, considering the length of train (81.1 m) travel by the car during the first 11.6 s

the v car =  distance/time= 81.1 m/11.6s= 7 m/s

In order to calculate the acceleration we have to use the kinematic equation for the train from the rest

distance train = (a* t^2)/2

distance train : distance travel by the car at constant speed

so distance train= (vcar*36.35)m=421 m

the a traiin= (2* 421 m)/(36s)^2=0.65 m/s^2

Two particles collide, one of which was initially moving and the other initially at rest. Is it possible for both particles to b
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Not possible

Explanation:

Unless there's some extra external force to keep both particles at rest after the collision, the momentum must be conserved before and after the collision.

So before the collision, 1 particle is at rest, 1 not ->  total momentum is non-zero

After the collision, both particles are at rest -> total momentum is zero which is different from before.

Therefore this is not possible.

How is frame motion used to measure motion
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

To describe motion accurately and completely, a frame of reference is necessary. frame of reference ( or reference frame) consists of an abstract coordinate system and the set of physical reference points that uniquely fix ( locate and orient ) the coordinate system and standardize measurements within that frame.

Explanation:

The different observations occur because the two observers are in different frames of reference. A frame of reference is a set of coordinates that can be used to determine positions and velocities of objects in that frame; different frames of reference move relative to one another.
