Answer:

v = 2 m/s (West)

Explanation:

Given

m = 2 Kg

v initial = 4 m/s (East)

F = 6 N (West)

t = 2 s

We can use the formula

v = v initial + a*t

if F = m*a  ⇒   a = F/m = 6 N / 2 Kg

a = 3 m/s² (West)

then

v = v initial + a*t = (4 m/s) + (-3 m/s²)(2 s)

v = - 2 m/s = 2 m/s (West)

How to calculate the slope of position time graph?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph can be calculated as:

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

where

\Delta y is the increment in the y-variable

\Delta x is the increment in the x-variable

We can verify that the slope of this graph is actually equal to the velocity. In fact:

\Delta y corresponds to the change in position, so it is the displacement, \Delta s

\Delta x corresponds to the change in time \Delta t, so the time interval

Therefore the slope of the graph is equal to

m=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

which corresponds to the definition of velocity.

A 770 n man stands in the middle of a frozen pond of radius 10.0 m. he is unable to get to the other side because of a lack of f
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Momentum is conserved throughout this scenario.

Before the man does anything, the total momentum of him and his book is zero.  So we know that it'll be zero after he throws the book.

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

The man gives the book (1.2 kg)x(10 m/s north) = 12 kg-m/s north
of momentum.

Since the total momentum must be zero, the man himself picks up 120 kg-m/s of momentum south.

(his mass)x(his v) = 120 kg-m/s south = (770 kg-m/s^2/9.8 m/s^2)x(V).

His velocity southward = (120 x 9.8) / (770)    m/s .

He needs to reach the shore 10m away.

Time = distance/speed

        =  (10 x 770) / (120 x 9.8) seconds

        =  6.55 seconds

Why all planetary objects have different amount of gravity?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Why do scientists usually talk about mass rather than weight? An object's weight is dependent on its mass and how strongly gravity pulls on it. The strength of gravity depends on how far away one object is from another. That's why the same object weighs different amounts on different planets.
