as we know that

acceleration = 0.50 m/s^2

distance traveled = 125 m

time taken = 20 s

now we will use the equation of kinematics

d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

125 = v_i* 20 + \frac{1}{2}*0.50*20^2

125 = 20*v_i + 100

125 - 100 = 20*v_i

v_i = 1.25 m/s

so its initial speed must be 1.25 m/s

An apparatus like the one Cavendish used to find G has large lead balls that are 5.2 kg in mass and small ones that are 0.046 kg.
Ber [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of gravitational force between two masses is 4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first lead ball, m_1=5.2\ kg

Mass of the other lead ball, m_2=0.046\ kg

The center of a large ball is separated by 0.057 m from the center of a small ball, r = 0.057 m

We need to find the magnitude of the gravitational force between the masses. It is given by the formula of the gravitational force. It is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\\F=6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{5.2\times 0.046}{(0.057)^2}\\\\F=4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N

So, the magnitude of gravitational force between two masses is 4.91\times 10^{-9}\ N. Hence, this is the required solution.

If a student flicks a stationary 0.1 kg ball with 5N of force for 0.1 seconds. What is its final
Alisiya [41]

5m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball = 0.1kg

Force on the ball = 5N

time taken = 0.1s

Unknown:

final speed of the ball = ?

Solution:

According to newton's second law "the net force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".

  Force = mass x acceleration      equation 1

Acceleration =

  V is the final velocity

  U is the initial velocity

  T is the time taken

 U = O since it is a stationary body;

      a = \frac{V}{T}

Input "a" into equation 1

  F = m x \frac{V}{T}

 5 = 0.1 x \frac{V}{0.1}

 V = 5m/s

A freight train car has a mass of 2,000 kilograms and an acceleration of 1.8 m/s/s. ​What is the average force behind that train
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

F = 3600 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of force must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 2000 [kg]

a = acceleration = 1.8 [m/s^2]

Now replacing:

F = 2000*1.8

F = 3600 [N]

contractor will use a package emulsion having a specific gravity of 1.25 and relative bulk strength of 130 to open an excavation
tester [92]

Answer:

The burden distance is 7 ft

Solution:

As per the question:

Specific gravity of package emulsion, SG_{E} = 1.25

Specific gravity of diabase rock, SG_{R} = 2.76

Diameter of the packaged sticks, d = 3 in

Now,

To calculate the first trail shot burden distance, B:

B = [\frac{2SG_{E}}{SG_{R}} + 1.5]\times d

B = [\frac{2\times 1.25}{2.76} + 1.5]\times 3 = 7.22

B = 7 ft
