The net force on the sled is 300 N

Explanation:

First of all, we start by finding the acceleration of the bobsled, by using the suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where:

v = 6.0 m/s is the final velocity of the sled

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s = 4.5 m is the displacement of the sled

Solving for a, we find

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{6.0^2-0}{2(4.5)}=4 m/s^2$

Now we can find the net force on the sled by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force

m = 75 kg is the mass of the sled

$a=4 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Solving the equation, we find the net force:

$F=(75)(4)=300 N$

To test the quality of a tennis ball, you drop it onto the floor from a height of 4.00 m. It rebounds to a height of 2.00 m. If

arlik [135]

Answer:

Part a)

$a = 1260.3 m/s^2$

Part b)

Direction = upwards

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from height h = 4.0 m

then the speed of the ball just before it will strike the ground is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$v_1^2 - 0^2 = 2(9.81)(4.0)$

$v_1 = 8.86 m/s$

Now ball will rebound to height h = 2.00 m

so the velocity of ball just after it will rebound is given as

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - v_2^2 = 2(-9.81)(2.00)$

$v_2 = 6.26 m/s$

Part a)

Average acceleration is given as

$a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}$

$a = \frac{6.26 - (-8.86)}{12.0 \times 10^{-3}}$

$a = 1260.35 m/s^2$

Part B)

As we know that ball rebounds upwards after collision while before collision it is moving downwards

So the direction of the acceleration is vertically upwards

Match the following vocabulary words. Match the items in the left column to the items in the right column. 1. the degree of exac

svetlana [45]

1. Avogadro's hypothesis. Avogadro hypothesized that equal volumes of all gases (at the same pressure) will have the same number of molecules. From PV=nRT, we know that one mole of gas takes up 22.4 L
2. Mass number. The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus so Carbon 12 has an atomic number of 6 which indicates 6 protons, and a mass number of 12 so 12-6 = 6 neutrons.
3. Avogadro's number. Avogadro's number is the number of units in one mole of any substance, which has been defined as 6.02 x10^23
4. Isotopes are the different forms of a single element. They differ in neutrons. One example is Hydrogen which has three isotopes Protium, Deuterium, and Tritium.
5. Atomic mass. The mass of the atom is equal to the sum of the protons and the neutrons as electrons are so small their mass is negligible. This is not exactly the same as the mass number because this number takes into account the different isotopes
6. mole A mole has the same number of entities as 12 grams of carbon 12, it is expressed by Avogadro's number so 1 mole = 6.02 x10^23 atoms or molecules, etc
7. molar mass- the amount that one mole of substance weighs. For carbon 12, 12 grams has one mole of atoms by definition. So for carbon 12, the molar mass is 12 g/mol

otez555 [7]

Answer:

"1155 N" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration,

$a=3 \ m/s^2$

Forces resisting motion,

$F_f=432 \ N$

Mass,

$m = 241 \ kg$

By using Newton's second law, we get

⇒ $F-F_f=ma$

Or,

⇒ $F=ma+F_f$

By putting the values, we get

⇒ $=(3\times 241)+432$

⇒ $=723+432$

⇒ $=1155 \ N$
