We know, W = F * s
150 = F * 15
F = 150 / 15
F = 10 N

In short, Your Answer would be 10 Newton

Hope this helps!

You are to drive to an interview in another town, at a distance of 310 km on an expressway. The interview is at 11:15 a.m. You p

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Time to cover first 100 km = 1 hour.

time remaining = 3.15 - 1 = 2.15 hour .

Time to cover next 42 km = 1 hour .

Time remaining = 2.15-1 = 1.15 hour.

Distance to be covered = 310 - 142

= 168 km

least speed needed = distance remaining / time remaining

= 168 / 1.15

= 146.08 km / h .

A 4.4 kg mess kit sliding on a frictionless surface explodes into two 2.2 kg parts, one moving at 2.9 m/s, due north, and the ot

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

Explanation:

Let north represent positive y axis and east represent positive x axis.

Here momentum is conserved.

Let the initial velocity be v.

Initial momentum = 4.4 x v = 4.4v

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 2.9 m/s, due north = 2.9 j m/s

Velocity of 2.2 kg moving at 6.8 m/s, 35° north of east = 6.9 ( cos 35i + sin35 j ) = 5.62 i + 3.96 j m/s

Final momentum = 2.2 x 2.9 j + 2.2 x (5.62 i + 3.96 j) = 12.364 i + 15.092 j kgm/s

We have

Initial momentum = Final momentum

4.4v = 12.364 i + 15.092 j

v =2.81 i + 3.43 j

Magnitude

$v=\sqrt{2.81^2+3.43^2}=4.43m/s$

Direction

$\theta =tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{3.43}{2.81}\right )=50.67^0$

50.67° north of east.

Original speed of the mess kit = 4.43 m/s at 50.67° north of east.

When the saw slices wood, the wood exerts a 104-N force on the blade, 0.128 m from the blade’s axis of rotation. If that force i

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

When saw slices wood by exerting a force on the wood , wood also exerts a reaction force on the saw in opposite direction which is equal to the force of action that is 104 N.

So torque exerted by wood on the blade

= force x perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation

= 104 x .128

=13.312 Nm.

Since this torque opposes the movement of blade , it turns the blade slower.

A rocket accelerates by burning its onboard fuel, so its mass decreases with time. Suppose the initial mass of the rocket at lif

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.

Explanation:

$v(t)=-gt-v_e\times \ln \frac{m-rt}{m}$

v = velocity of rocket at time t

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.8 m/s^2$

$v_e$ = Constant velocity relative to the rocket = 2,900m/s.

m = Initial mass of the rocket at liftoff = 29000 kg

r = Rate at which fuel is consumed = 170 kg/s

Velocity of the rocket after 1 minute of the liftoff =v

t = 1 minute = 60 seconds'

Substituting all the given values in in the given equation:

$v(60)=-9.8 m/s^2\times 60 s-2,900m/s\times \ln (\frac{29,000 kg-170 kg/s\times 60 s}{2,9000 kg})$

$v(60) = 668.97 m/s$

Height of the rocket = h

$Velocity=\frac{Displacement}{time}$

$668.97 m/s=\frac{h}{60 s}$

$h=668.97 m/s\times 60 s=40,138.2 m = 40.1382 km$

Height of the rocket be one minute after liftoff is 40.1382 km.
