Using Newton's law that  F = ma.

The force here is the net force.  The forces acting in opposite direction are the weight and the air resistance. The weight of course is acting downwards and the air  resistance is pushing upwards.

Therefore:

W -  AR  = ma                    W = Weight = mg,  AR = Air Resistance = 150.
                                           g = 10 m/s2
mg  - AR  = ma

60(10) - 150 = 60a
600  -  150   = 60a
450 = 60a
60a = 450
a = 450/60
a = 7.5 m/s2

Cheers.

Describe a ball's motion as it rolls up a slanted
emmasim [6.3K]

The ball will decelerate as it moves upwards.

The magnitude of the ball's acceleration is 0.3 m/s² and it directed backwards.

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the ball, u = 1.25 m/s
  • time of motion of the ball, t = 4.22 s

As the ball rolls up the inclined plane, the velocity decreases and eventually becomes zero when the ball reaches the highest point of the plane.

Thus, the ball decelerate as it moves upwards.

The acceleration of the ball is calculate as;

a = \frac{v_f -v_0}{t} \\\\

<em>at the highest point on the incline plane, the final velocity </em>v_f<em> is zero</em>

a = \frac{0-1.25}{4.22} \\\\a = -0.3 \ m/s^2

Thus, the magnitude of the ball's acceleration is 0.3 m/s² and it directed backwards.

(a) Calculate the force (in N) needed to bring a 1100 kg car to rest from a speed of 85.0 km/h in a distance of 125 m (a fairly
nasty-shy [4]

(a) -2451 N

We can start by calculating the acceleration of the car. We have:

u=85.0 km/h = 23.6 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

d = 125 m is the stopping distance

So we can use the following equation

v^2 - u^2 = 2ad

To find the acceleration of the car, a:

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-(23.6 m/s)^2}{2(125 m)}=-2.23 m/s^2

Now we can use Newton's second Law:

F = ma

where m = 1100 kg to find the force exerted on the car in order to stop it; we find:

F=(1100 kg)(-2.23 m/s^2)=-2451 N

and the negative sign means the force is in the opposite direction to the motion of the car.

(b) -1.53\cdot 10^5 N

We can use again the equation

v^2 - u^2 = 2ad

To find the acceleration of the car. This time we have

u=85.0 km/h = 23.6 m/s is the initial velocity

v = 0 is the final velocity of the car

d = 2.0 m is the stopping distance

Substituting and solving for a,

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0-(23.6 m/s)^2}{2(2 m)}=-139.2 m/s^2

So now we can find the force exerted on the car by using again Newton's second law:

F=ma=(1100 kg)(-139.2 m/s^2)=-1.53\cdot 10^5 N

As we can see, the force is much stronger than the force exerted in part a).

I've got an energy and work problem. The premise of the problem is:
Alenkasestr [34]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

μ =  the coefficient of dynamic friction between the crate and the ramp.

1. The applied force of F acts over a distance, d.
    The work done is F*d.

2. The component of the weight of the crate acting down the ramp is
    mg sin(30) = 0.5mg. 
    The work done by this force is 0.5mgd.

3. The normal force is N = mgcos(30) = 0.866mg.
     This force is perpendicular to the ramp, therefore the work done is zero.

4. The frictional force is μN = μmgcos(30) = 0.866μmg.
    The work done by the frictional force is 0.866μmgd.

5. The total force acting on the crate up the ramp is
     F - mgsin(30) - μmgcos(30) = F - mg(0.5 - 0.866μ) 

6. The work done on the crate by the total force is
    d*(F - 0.5mg - 0.866μmg)

Does changing amplitude, wavelength or frequency play a role in how bluetooth acts?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes, bluetooth devices work in a frequency range between 2.4 - 2.485GHz. Outside this frequency the devices will not communicate with each other correctly. This frequency equals a wavelength of around 1cm. Therefore, any change in the amplitude or wavelength would need to be in relation to each other in order to maintain the frequency in the required range for the bluetooth device to work accordingly. If one increases while the other remains the same it can easily change the frequency to outside the range.
