A skateboarder is accelerating forward. How would his acceleration change if he had more mass?
1 answer:
Answer:
If the force remains the same, the acceleration would decrease
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object is given by
where
F is the force applied to the object
m is the mass of the object
As we see from the formula, the acceleration a is inversely proportional to the mass, m. Therefore, if the force F remains constant, this means that if the mass of the skateboarder increases, then the acceleration will decrease.

Answer:
t_{out} = t_{in}, t_{out} =
Explanation:
This in a relative velocity exercise in one dimension,
let's start with the swimmer going downstream
its speed is
The subscripts are s for the swimmer, r for the river and g for the Earth
with the velocity constant we can use the relations of uniform motion
= D /
D = v_{sg1} t_{out}
now let's analyze when the swimmer turns around and returns to the starting point
= D /
D = v_{sg 2} t_{in}
with the distance is the same we can equalize
t_{out} = t_{in}
t_{out} = t_{in}
This must be the answer since the return time is known. If you want to delete this time
t_{in}= D /
we substitute
t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} ()
t_{out} =
For the part a) we need only the momentum of the box and we have the data to find it.
Momentum is given by,
where clearly, p is the momentum, m the mass of the box and v is the velocity.
Substituting,
For part b) we need an analysis of the situation. We understand that the box on a surface that has no friction will continue to rotate at the same speed previously defined. The box can only stop with friction, so,
<em>It is the same that part a)</em>
