Answer:

6 N

Explanation:

\dfrac{m}{t} = Mass flow rate = 1 kg/s

v = Final velocity = 6 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

Force is obtained when we divide change in momentum by time

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{m}{t}(v-u)\\\Rightarrow F=1(6-0)\\\Rightarrow F=6\ N

The force the person exert on the extinguisher in order to prevent it from accelerating is 6 N

Your shopping cart has a mass of 65 kilograms, In order to accelerate the shopping cart down an aisle at 0.3 m/sec2, what force
garri49 [273]
Remember Newton's second law: F=ma

to get the force in newtons, mass should be in kg and acceleration in m/s^2

conveniently, we don't need to convert units

we just need to multiply the two to get the force

65* 0.3 = 19.5 kg m/s^2 or N

if significant digit is an issue, the least number if sig figs is 1 so the answer would be 20 N

) Water falls from a height of 60m at the rate of 15kg/s to operate a turbine. The losses due to frictional force are 10% of ene
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

8100W

Explanation:

Let g = 10m/s2

As water is falling from 60m high, its potential energy from 60m high would convert to power. So the rate of change in potential energy is

P = \dot{E} = \dot{m}gh = 15*10*60 = 9000 J/s or 9000W

Since 10% of this is lost to friction, we take the remaining 90 %

P = 9000*90% = 8100 W

Which of the following statements concerning the nuclear force is false? O The nuclear force is attractive and not repulsive. O
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

  • The nuclear force is attractive and not repulsive.
  • The nuclear force is very weak and much smaller in relative magnitude than the electrostatic and gravitational forces.

Explanation:

  • Nuclear force is the strongest existing force in the nature.
  • It has the shortest range.
  • Its main function is to hold the subatomic particles together in nature.
  • The nuclear force is created  by the exchange of pi mesons between the nucleons of an atom, but for this exchange to happen the particles must be close to one another of the order of few femtometer.
  • At about 1 femtometer the nuclear force is very strongly attractive in nature but at distance greater than 2.5 femtometer it fades away.
  • The force becomes repulsive in nature at distance less than 0.7 femtometer.
  • This force holds the likely charged protons together in the nucleus.
