A force of 1.150×103 N pushes a man on a bicycle forward. Air resistance pushes against him with a force of 795 N. If he starts
nalin [4]

Answer:

He has a speed of 16.60m/s after 35.0 meters.

Explanation:

The final velocity can be determined by means of the equations for a Uniformly Accelerated Rectilinear Motion:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{i}^{2} + 2ad        

v_{f} = \sqrt{v_{i}^{2} + 2ad}  (1)

The acceleration can be found by means of Newton's second law:

\sum F_{net} = ma

Where \sum F_{net} is the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

Fx + Fy = ma  (2)

All the forces can be easily represented in a free body diagram, as it is shown below.

Forces in the x axis:

F_{x} = F - F_{air}  (3)

Forces in the y axis:

F_{y} = 0 (4)

Solving for the forces in the x axis:

F_{x} = F - F_{air}

Where F = 1.150x10^{3} N and F_{air} = 795 N:

F_{x} = 1.150x10^{3} N - 795 N

F_{x} = 355 N

Replacing in equation (2) it is gotten:

Fx + Fy = ma

355 N + 0 N = (90.0 Kg)a

355 N = (90.0 Kg)a

a = \frac{355 N}{90.0Kg}

a = \frac{355 Kg.m/s^{2}}{90.0Kg}

a = 3.94 m/s^{2}

So the acceleration for the cyclist is 3.94 m/s^{2}, now that the acceleration is known, equation (1) can be used:

v_{f} = \sqrt{v_{i}^{2} + 2ad}

However, since he was originally at rest its initial velocity will be zero (v_{i} = 0).

v_{f} = \sqrt{2ad}

v_{f} = \sqrt{2(3.94m/s^{2})(35.0m)}

v_{f} = 16.60m/s

He has a speed of 16.60m/s after 35.0 meters

Sound is a mechanical wave; therefore, it __________.
avanturin [10]
A mechanical wave such as sound needs a medium to travel through. This is why they say that in space, no one can hear you scream (because space is a vacuum and no medium exists). On the contrary, light can exist in wave or particle form. This is why we have the ability to see beyond the realms of the Earth.

How much energy (in kW-h) does a 900 Watt stove use in a week if it is used for 1.5 hours each day?
ioda

Answer:

9.45 kWh

Explanation:

Energy = Power × time

E = 900 W × (1.5 h/day × 7 day)

E = 9450 Wh

E = 9.45 kWh

A softball has a mass of 0.18 kg. What is the gravitational force on Earth due to the ball, and what is the Earth's resulting ac
alexgriva [62]

Answer:F=1.7802

Explanation:

Since we've been given the mass to be .18kg,we are asked to find the Force of which the formulae is

F=ma where f-force,m-mass and a-acceleration due to gravity

So we can just substitute

F-?.m=.18 and a9.89

F=.18×9.89

F=1.7802N
