How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram skier at a rate of 1.2m/sec

2 answers:

8 0

Let's use Newton's 2nd law of motion:

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Force = (68 kg) x (1.2 m/s²) = 81.6 newtons .

$f=m*a$

68*1.2=81.6

$f=81.6$

A pressure that will support a column of Hg to a height of 256 mm would support a column of water to what height? The density of

Paul [167]

Answer:

The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm

Explanation:

Pressure:This is defined as the ratio of the force acting normally ( perpendicular) to the area of surface in contact. The S.I unit of pressure is N/m²

p = Dgh............... Equation 1

Where p = pressure, D = density, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

From the question, the same pressure will support the column of mercury and water.

p₁ = p₂

Where p₁ = pressure of mercury, p₂ = pressure of water

D₁gh₁ = D₂gh₂.................. Equation 2

making h₂ the subject of equation 2

h₂ = D₁gh/D₂g............... Equation 3

Where D₁ and D₂ = Density of mercury and water respectively, h₁ and h₂ = height of mercury and water respectively

Given: D₁ = 13.6 g/cm³, D₂ = 1.00 g/cm³, h₁ = 256 mm = 25.6 cm.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into Equation 3,

h₂ = (13.6×9.8×25.6)/1×9.8

h₂ = 348.14 cm

The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm

The tip of the second hand of a clock moves in a circle of 20 cm circumference. In one minute the hand makes a complete revoluti

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

$v_{avg} = 0$

Explanation:

As we know that average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement of the object and its time interval.

so here we can say

$v_{avg} = \frac{displacement}{time}$

now we know that in one complete revolution the total displacement of the tip of the seconds hand is zero

because it will have same position after one complete revolution from where it starts

so here we can say that the average velocity will be zero

$v_{avg} = 0$

Calculate the momentum of a 1800 kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s.

liq [111]

The amount of movement, linear momentum, momentum or momentum is a physical quantity derived from a vector type that describes the movement of a body in any mechanical theory. In classical mechanics, the amount of movement is defined as the product of body mass and its velocity at a given time.

p= mv

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

$m = 1800kg$
