Physics
1 answer:
Verdich [7]3 years ago

5)

In physics, forces are interactions that are able to change the velocity of an object.

Force is a vector quantity, so it has a magnitude and a direction.

The SI units of the force is the Newton (N).

Whenever an unbalanced force is applied to an object, the object experiences an acceleration, according to Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

So, the acceleration of an object is proportional to the force applied:

a=\frac{F}{m}

6)

In physics, arrows are used to represent vector quantities. Therefore, they are also used to represent forces.

In particular, when a vector quantity is represented by an arrowr:

- The length of the arrow is proportional to the magnitude of the vector quantity

- The direction of the arrow corresponds to the direction of the vector quantity

Therefore, if a force is represented through an arrow:

- The length of the arrow shows the strength (magnitude) of the force

- The direction of the arrow shows the direction of the force

7)

As we said in part 5), the SI units of the force is the Newton (N).

We can rewrite the Newton in terms of fundamental units only. We can do it starting from the equation:

F=ma

where

F is the force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

- The mass is measured in kilograms (kg)

- The acceleration is measured in meters per second squared (m/s^2)

Therefore, 1 N corresponds to:

[N]=[kg][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-2}]

B)

Gravity is an attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass. See more explanations about gravity in part 4).

3)

Mass is a scalar quantity; it gives us a measure of the "amount of matter" contained in an object.

The SI unit of the mass is the kilogram (kg).

Being a scalar, mass has no direction, but only a magnitude.

Moreover, the mass is an intrinsec property of an object: therefore, it does not depend on the location of the object. So, an object has always the same mass, either it is on Earth or on another planet.

On the other hand, the force of gravity on an object depends on its location, so it changes.

4)

As we said in part 3), gravity is an attractive force that exists between all objects that  have mass.

The magnitude of the force of gravity between two objects is given by the Universal Law of gravitation:

F=\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

From the equation above, we observe that:

- all objects are attracted to one  another with a gravitational force that is proportional to the mass of the objects  and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

And so:

a. When the mass of one or both objects increases, the gravitational force between  the objects increases

b. When the distance between two objects increases, the attraction between the  objects decreases

A trombone plays a C3 note. If the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s and the wavelength of this note is
Umnica [9.8K]

The frequency of note C3 is 131 s^{-1}.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Frequency is the measure of repetition of same thing a certain number of times. So frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength. As wavelength is distance between two successive crests or troughs in a sound wave.

And frequency is the completion of number of cycles in a given time in sound waves. The frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other with velocity of sound being the proportionality constant.

Thus, here the speed of sound is given as 343 m/s, the wavelength of the note is also given as 2.62 m, then frequency will be as follows:

Frequency=\frac{speed of sound}{Wavelength of note}

Thus,

Frequency = \frac{343 m/s}{2.62 m} = 131 s^{-1}

So the frequency of note C3 is 131 s^{-1}.

You paddle a conoe with a force of 325 N. You and the canoe have a combined mass of 250 kg. What is the acceleration of the cano
Brums [2.3K]

f = ma

Rearranging it, we get;

a =  \frac{f}{m}
Where a is the acceleration, f is the force, and m is the mass

a =  \frac{325}{250}
a = 1.3 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }
