A water skier has a mass of 79 kg and accelerates at 1.4 m/s^2. The net force acting on her is

Physics
1 answer:
nikklg [1K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

110 N

Explanation:

Net force equals mass times acceleration:

F = ma

F = (79 kg) (1.4 m/s²)

F = 110.6 N

Rounding to two significant figures, the net force is 110 N.

a bends each wavelength of white light slightly differently so that each wavelength color comes out separated forming a rainbow
lianna [129]
The answer here is prism. The light passing through prism experiences bending of its multiple wavelength composition which allows it to visibly shows the difference in each of the light's color wavelength, violet bending the most while the least is the color red.

A train moves with a constant velocity for 15s for 155m. How fast is the train moving?
bonufazy [111]

Answer: 10.3m/s

Explanation:

In theory and for a constant velocity the physics expression states that:

Eq(1):  distance  = velocity times time <=> d = v*t    for v=constant.

If we solve Eq (1) for the velocity (v) we obtain:

Eq(2):  velocity  = distance divided by time <=> v = d/t

Substituting the known values for t=15s and d=155m we get:

v = 155 / 15 <=> v = 10.3

Which of the following is an example of Newton's second law of motion?
laiz [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that ‘when an object is acted on by an outside force, the mass of the object equals the strength of the force times the resulting acceleration’.

This can be demonstrated dropping a rock or and tissue at the same time from a ladder. They fall at an equal rate—their acceleration is constant due to the force of gravity acting on them.

The rock's impact will be a much greater force when it hits the ground, because of its greater mass. If you drop the two objects into a dish of water, you can see how different the force of impact for each object was, based on the splash made in the water by each one.

A child of mass m is standing at the edge of a carousel. Both the carousel and the child are initially stationary. The carousel
suter [353]

Answer:

the angular velocity of the carousel after the child has started running =

\frac{2F}{mR} \delta t

Explanation:

Given that

the mass of the child = m

The radius of the disc = R

moment of inertia I = \frac{1}{2} mR^2

change in time = \delta \ t

By using the torque around the inertia ; we have:

T = I×∝

where

R×F = I × ∝

R×F = \frac{1}{2} mR^2∝

F = \frac{1}{2} mR∝

∝ = \frac{2F}{mR}           ( expression for angular  angular acceleration)

The first equation of motion of rotating wheel can be expressed as :

\omega = \omega_0  + \alpha  \delta t

where ;

∝ = \frac{2F}{mR}    

Then;

\omega = 0+ \frac{2F}{mR} \delta t

\omega =  \frac{2F}{mR} \delta t

 

∴ the angular velocity of the carousel after the child has started running =

\frac{2F}{mR} \delta t
