Savatey [412]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Period P has units of seconds (s).

Length has units of meters (m).

Mass has units of kilograms (kg).

Acceleration has units of meters per second squared (m/s²).

Dimensional analysis:

s = √(m / (m/s²))

Therefore:

P = k √(L/g)

where k is a dimensionless constant.

George is applying a downward force of 50N to and object that has a mass of 50kg. What is the normal force (FN) of the object wh
attashe74 [19]

The normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction

<u>Explanation:</u>

As George is applying a downward force, the normal force will be in the upward direction. The normal force will be exerted due to the acceleration due to gravity exerted on the object.

So, as per Newton's second law, the normal force acting on the object can be measured by the product of mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.

But as the acceleration due to gravity is a downward acting acceleration and the normal force is a upward acting force, so the acceleration will be having a negative sign in the formula.

Normal\ force = Mass \times Acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity

Here, acceleration due to gravity g = -10 m/s² and mass is given as 50 kg, then

Normal force = 50 × (-10) = -500 N

So, the normal force acting on the object is 500 N in the upward direction.

Your friend is constructing a balancing display for an art project. She has one rock on the left ( ms=2.25 kgms=2.25 kg ) and th
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Torque = 35.60 N.m (rounded off to 3 significant figures.

Explanation:

Given details:

The mass of the rock on the left, ms = 2.25 kg

The total mass of the rocks, mp = 10.1 kg

The distance from the fulcrum to the center of the pile of rocks, rp = 0.360 m

(a) The torque produced by the pile of rock, T = F*rp = m*g*rp

Torque = 9.8*0.360*10.1 = 35.6328

Torque = 35.60 N.m (rounded off to 3 significant figures).

An airplane is being pushed West by its engines with a force of 350 N as it starts to take off the runway at the Atlanta airport
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

Force by the engine on plane in West direction = 350 N

Frictional force on the runway = 100 N in east

force exerted by the wind = 100 N in east

net force and direction = ?

consider west to be positive and east be negative.

when airplane will be moving there will be frictional as well as wind resistance will be acting in opposite direction of airplane

Net force = 350 N - 100 N - 100 N

                 = 150 N

as our answer comes out to be positive so the airplane will be moving in West

hence, the correct answer is option C
