A car initially contains just its driver. The combined mass of car and driver is 869 kg. When the gas pedal is pushed down all t

he way, the car reaches its maximum acceleration of 5.6 m/s2.If the driver then picks up three of his friends, the combined mass is increased by 300 kg. What is the maximum acceleration possible in units m/s2 now if the force provided by the engine remains the same as before? Round to one decimal place.

Answer:

4.2 m/s²

Explanation:

m = combined mass of car and driver = 869 kg

a = maximum acceleration reached by the car with driver in it = 5.6 m/s²

Force provided by the engine is given as

F_{eng} = ma

F_{eng} = (869) (5.6)

F_{eng} = 4866.4 N

M = Combined mass of car, driver and his three friends = 869 + 300 = 1169 kg

a' = maximum acceleration reached with friends in the car = ?

Force provided by the engine remains same and is then given as

F_{eng} = M a'

4866.4 = (1169) a'

a' = 4.2 m/s²

A chair of weight 80.0 N lies atop a horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of F =
Kaylis [27]

The chair does not move along the vertical direction: this means that the net force on the vertical direction is zero.

There are three forces acting along the vertical direction:

- The weight, acting downward: W=mg=80.0 N

- The component of the force F perpendicular to the floor, acting downward: F_y = F sin 43.0^{\circ}=(44.0 N)(sin 43.0^{\circ})=30.0 N

- The normal force N, acting upwards.

Since the net force must be zero, we have:

W+F_y-N=0

From which we can find the value of N:

N=W+F_y=80.0 N+30.0 N=110.0 N

Gravity is a force that every mass exerts on every other mass. When you jump up in the air, not only does the Earth exert a grav
sesenic [268]

Answer:

C. Your mass is very small compared to Earth's mass.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (action force) on an object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A".

If we apply this law to the situation described in the problem, we see that:

- The action force is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on you

- The reaction force is the gravitational force exerted by you on the Earth

And according to the 3rd law, the magnitude of the two forces is equal:

F_1 = F_2 (1)

We also know that, according to Newton's second law of motion, the force on an object is equal to the product between its mass (m) and its acceleration (a):

F=ma

So we can rewrite (1) as

ma = MA

where

m is the your mass

a is your acceleration

M is the Earth's mass

A is the Earth's acceleration

For the term on the left, we see that m is small, so a is larger (therefore, your acceleration is visible). However, for the term on the right, we see that the mass of the Earth is very large (M is very large), therefore, A is very small, which means that the acceleration of the Earth is almost negligible because the Earth's mass is very large.
