Force needed is 5×6=30
stich3 [128]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<h2>30 N.</h2>

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, a force applied to certain object will accelerate it, that's the meaning of the formula: F= ma

So, in this case, we don't have to analyse much, because all values are given, we just have to replace them and solve for F:

F=ma\\F=5kg(6m/s^{2})=30N

Therefore, the force needed to accelerate that mass is 30 N.

List and explain briefly similarities and differences between the electric force between two charges and the gravitational force
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Similarities

1) The resultant force is along the line that joins both charges or both masses (assuming both objects can be represented as points)

2) Both type of forces obey  Newton's 3rd law.

3) Both are proportional to the product of the property that is affected by the force (charges and masses)

4) Both obey an inverse - square law (consequence of our universe being three-dimensional)

  • Differences

1) Main difference, is that while the gravitational force is always attractive, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive, as there are two types of charges, which attract each other being of different type, and repel each other if they are of the same type.

2) It  is possible, artificially, to block the influence of the electrostatic force, shielding a room, for instance, which is not possible for the gravitational force.

Number of conducting plates of a multiplate capacitor is 5. The no. Of capacitors is
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

4 capacitors

Explanation:

Given

n = 5 --- conducting plates

Required

The number of capacitor (c)

This is calculated as:

c = n - 1

So, we have:

c = 5 - 1

c = 4

A skydiver jumps out of a hovering helicopter. A few seconds later, another diver jumps out, so they both fall along the same ve
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

distance difference would a) increase

speed difference would f) stay the same

Explanation:

Let t be the time the 2nd skydiver takes to travel, since the first skydiver jumped first, his time would be t + Δt where Δt represent the duration between the the first skydiver and the 2nd one. Remember that as t progress (increases), Δt remain constant.

Their equations of motion for distance and velocities are

s_2 = gt^2/2

s_1 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2

v_2 = gt

v_1 = g(t + \Delta t)

Their difference in distance are therefore:

\Delta s = s_1 - s_2 = g(t + \Delta t)^2/2 - gt^2/2

\Delta s = g/2((t + \Delta t)^2 - t^2)

\Delta s = g/2(t + \Delta t - t)(t + \Delta t + t) (AsA^2 - B^2 = (A-B)(A+B)

\Delta s = g\Delta t/2(2t + \Delta t)

So as time progress t increases, Δs would also increases, their distance becomes wider with time.

Similarly for their velocity difference

\Delta v = v_1 - v_2 = g(t + \Delta t) - gt

\Delta v = gt + g\Delta t - gt = g\Delta t

Since g and Δt both are constant, Δv would also remain constant, their difference in velocity remain the same.

This of this in this way: only the DIFFERENCE in speed stay the same, their own individual speed increases at same rate (due to same acceleration g). But the first skydiver is already at a faster speed (because he jumped first) when the 2nd one jumps. The 1st one would travel more distance compare to the 2nd one in a unit of time.
