A man pushes a 35.2 kg box across a frictionless floor with a force of 128 N. What is the acceleration of the box

2 answers:

6 0

The formula for Force is F = MA

F = 128N.
M = 35.2kg.128
= 35.2A

Divide both sides by 35.2

A = ~3.636
So the answer is 3.636 m/s².

The formula for Force is F = MA, or Force is equivalent to the product of Mass and Acceleration.

F = 128N.
M = 35.2kg.

128 = 35.2A
Divide both sides by 35.2 to solve for the acceleration.
A = ~3.636

The acceleration is 3.636 m/s^2.

I hope this helps!

A particle is moving along the x-axis. Its position as a function of time is given as x=bt-ct^2a) What must be the units of the

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

We are given x= bt +ct²

A. bxt= m

Because m/s*s= m

So b= m/s and c= m/s²

x= bt-ct²

So at x=0 t=0

x=0 t= 2

We have

bt = ct² so t = b/c at x= 0

So b-2ct= 0

B. To find velocity we use

dx / dt = b - 2 Ct

C. At rest wen V= 0

We have t= b/2c

D. To find acceleration we use

dv / dt = - 2C

Why polarization does not occur in dry cell?

Arisa [49]

Answer:

Manganese oxide prevents polarisation in dry cells. - Polarization is a defect that occurs in simple electric cells due to the accumulation of hydrogen gas around the positive electrode. ... - MnO2 reacts with H2 and forms water as byproduct, so depolarization doesn't occur.

If two particles have equal kinetic energies, are their momenta necessarily equal? explain.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

No the given statement is not necessarily true.

Explanation:

We know that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v' is given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

Similarly the momentum is given by $m\times v$

For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective kinetic energies is given by

$K.E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}$

$K.E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}$

Similarly For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective momenta are given by

$p_{1}=m_{1}\times v_{1}$

$p_{2}=m_{2}\times v_{2}$

Now since it is given that the two kinetic energies are equal thus we have

$\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}\\\\(m_{1}v_{1})\times v_{1}=(m_{2}v_{2})\times v_{2}\\\\p_{1}\times v_{1}=p_{2}\times v_{2}\\\\\therefore \frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}............(i)$

Thus we infer that the moumenta are not equal since the ratio on right of 'i' is not 1 , and can be 1 only if the velocities of the 2 particles are equal which becomes a special case and not a general case.

1. A large ball was let go on a hill and started rolling down with a constant acceleration of 4.2 m/s². What was the velocity of

pochemuha

Answer:

The velocity after 12s is 50.4m/s.

Explanation:

In acceleration formula make velocity the subject.

acceleration(a) = velocity(v)÷time(t)

<h3> velocity (v) = acceleration(a)×time(t)</h3>

V = 4.2m/s²×12s

V = 50.4m/s

Therefore the velocity after 12s is 50.4m/s.
