Acceleration of the table: B. 0.50 meters/second2

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is the product of its mass and its acceleration. Mathematically:

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

For the table in this problem, we have:

\sum F = 125 N - 120 N = 5 N is the net force on the table, because there are two forces of 125 N and 120 N acting in opposite  directions

m = 10.0 kg is the mass of the table

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}=\frac{5}{10.0}=0.50 m/s^2

regrine falcons frequently grab prey birds from the air. Sometimes they strike at high enough speeds that the force of the impac
solmaris [256]

Answers:

a) 30 m/s

b) 480 N

Explanation:

The rest of the question is written below:

a. What is the final speed of the falcon and pigeon?

b. What is the average force on the pigeon during the impact?

<h3>a) Final speed</h3>

This part can be solved by the Conservation of linear momentum principle, which establishes the initial momentum p_{i} before the collision must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} after the collision:

p_{i}=p_{f} (1)

Being:

p_{i}=MV_{i}+mU_{i}

p_{f}=(M+m) V

Where:

M=480 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.48 kg the mas of the peregrine falcon

V_{i}=45 m/s the initial speed of the falcon

m=240 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.24 kg is the mass of the pigeon

U_{i}=0 m/s the initial speed of the pigeon (at rest)

V the final speed of the system falcon-pigeon

Then:

MV_{i}+mU_{i}=(M+m) V (2)

Finding V:

V=\frac{MV_{i}}{M+m} (3)

V=\frac{(0.48 kg)(45 m/s)}{0.48 kg+0.24 kg} (4)

V=30 m/s (5) This is the final speed

<h3>b) Force on the pigeon</h3>

In this part we will use the following equation:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} (6)

Where:

F is the force exerted on the pigeon

\Delta t=0.015 s is the time

\Delta p is the pigeon's change in momentum

Then:

\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=mV-mU_{i} (7)

\Delta p=mV (8) Since U_{i}=0

Substituting (8) in (6):

F=\frac{mV}{\Delta t} (9)

F=\frac{(0.24 kg)(30 m/s)}{0.015 s} (10)

Finally:

F=480 N

How does the mass of an object affect the outcome when an unbalanced force acts on it?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of acceleration is reduced.

Explanation:

Force is defined as push or pull

The force is said to be<em> balance force  </em>if the force are equal in size but opposite in direction. ie the object does not move or move with constant speed.

The force are to be<em> unbalanced force </em>if the force cause change in motion. ie the object has force greater than zero and has acceleration.

According to <em>Newton second law of motion </em>, acceleration depends on force acting on the object and mass of object.

     F=ma

     a=\frac{F}{m}

When unbalanced force act on the mass of object it reduces magnitude of acceleration without changing the direction.

Um objeto de 4cm de altura está a 30cm de um espelho côncavo, cujo raio de curvatura tem valor absoluto de 20cm.
Shkiper50 [21]

a) The distance of the image from the mirror is 15 cm

b) The size of the image is -2 cm (inverted)

Explanation:

a)

We can solve this first part of the problem by applying the mirror equation:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the mirror

q is the distance of the image from the mirror

For a mirror, the focal length is half the radius of curvature, R:

f=\frac{R}{2}

For this mirror, R = 20 cm, so its focal length is

f=\frac{20}{2}=+10 cm (positive for a concave mirror)

Here we also know:

p = 30 cm is the distance of the object from the mirror

So, by applying the equation, we can find q:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{15} \rightarrow q = 15 cm

b)

We can solve this part by using the magnification equation:

M=-\frac{y'}{y}=\frac{q}{p}

where

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

q is the distance of the image from the mirror

p is the distance of the object from the mirror

Here we have:

q = 15 cm

p = 30 cm

y = 4 cm

Solving for y', we find the size of the image:

y'=-y\frac{q}{p}=-(4)\frac{15}{30}=-2 cm

and the negative sign means that the image is inverted.
