If you increase the force on an item without changing the mass you increase acceleration? true or false?

1 answer:

5 0

(F)(M)=A
Force times Mass equals Acceleration.
The answer is TRUE.
If the mass increases the number on the left side of the equation increases, thus increasing the right side as well.

A year 11 pupil with a mass of 55kg swinging back on their chair and falling off it at a speed of 0.6m/s. What is his kinetic en

posledela

Answer:

Uk = 9.9 J

Explanation:

To calculate the kinetic energie (Uk), you can make use of this formula:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

given m = 55 kg and v = 0.6 m/s

Substituting in the formula gives:

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * (0.6)²

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * 0.36

Uk = 9.9 J

Extra:

Now let's examine the formula in relation to the SI units. If you understand the following, it will give you great insight in how smart Phisics is inter twained by looking at formulas and their standard units. It will save you time in future to convert formulas, if you use the right standard units.

The formula for kinetic energie is:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

Standard SI unit for mass m is kg.

Standard SI unit for speed v is m/s.

So v * v = v² and therefore v² must have the standard SI unit of m²/s².

From the formula, you see that the unit of Uk must be kg*m²/s² and since Uk is normally given in J, these both forms must be the same !

The main unit for Uk is the Joule. Now please see the picture, which shows the relation between the J and other SI units. Please understand that you can construct your 'own' formulas based these units. Now here is the time saver:

Because almost always the right units are given in a question, or because sometimes you can look up a constant in a table with an exotic and seemingly complicated unit, but that says a lot about the formula which must have been some how involved!

By this, I hope you now understand the implication of using the right standard SI units and how that can help you figure out what formula is needed.

What would happen to the marbles speed if we had longer tables

Zanzabum

Answer:

The marble will start to decrease in speed

Explanation:

The longer the table is the more the marbles speed would decrease because marbles can only be fast for a certain amount of time

Yashoda prepares some lime juice on a hot day. She adds 80 g of ice at a temperature of 0°C to 0.32 kg of lime juice. The temper

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

hear energy required to melt 1 g of ice = 340 J ,

hear energy required to melt 80 g of ice = 340 x 80 J = 27220 J .

b ) energy gained by the melted ice ( water at O°C ) = m ct

where m is mass of water , s is specific heat and t is rise in temperature

= 80 x 4.2 x ( 8°C - 0°C)

= 2688 J .

c )

energy lost by lime juice = energy gained by ice and water

= 27220 J + 2688 J .

= 29908 J .

d )

Let specific heat required be S

Heat lost by lime juice = M S T

M is mass of lime juice , S is specific heat , T is decrease in temperature

= 320 g x S x ( 29 - 8 )°C

= 6720 S

For equilibrium

Heat lost = heat gained

6720 S = 29908 J

S = 4.45 J /g °C .

A car of mass 1000 kg is moving at 25 m/s. It collides with a car of mass 1200 kg moving at 30 m/s. When the cars collide, they

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The total momentum of the cars before the collision is 61,000 kg.m/s

The total momentum of the cars after the collision is 61,000 kg.m/s

The velocity of the cars after the collision is 27.727 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first car, m₁ = 1000 kg

initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 25 m/s

mass of the second car, m₂ = 1200 kg

initial velocity of the second car, u₂ = 30 m/s

The common velocity of the cars after collision = v

The total momentum of the cars before collision is calculated as;

P₁ = m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

P₁ = (1000 x 25) + (1200 x 30)

P₁ = 61,000 kg.m/s

The total momentum of the cars after collision is calculated as;

P₂ = m₁v + m₂v

where;

v is the common velocities of the cars after collision since they stick together.

P₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

To determine "v" apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

(1000 x 25) + (1200 x 30) = v(1000 + 1200)

61,000 = 2,200v

v = 61,000/2,200

v = 27.727 m/s

The total momentum after collsion = v(m₁ + m₂)

= 27.727(1000 + 1200)

= 61,000 kg.m/s

Thus, momentum before and after collsion are equal.
