Answer: 56.87m/s^{2}

Explanation:

If we make an analysis of the net force F_{net} of the rock that was thrown upwards, we will have the following:

F_{net}=F_{up}-W  (1)

Where:

F_{up}=200N is the force with which the rock was thrown

W is the weight of the rock

Being the weight the relation between the mass m=3kg of the rock and the acceleration due gravity g=9.79m/s^{2} :

W=m.g=(3kg)(9.79m/s^{2}) (2)

W=29.37 N (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

F_{net}=200N-29.37 N  (4)

F_{net}=170.63 N  (5) This is the net Force on the rock

On the other hand, we know this force is equal to the multiplication of the mass with the acceleration, according to Newton's 2nd Law:

F_{net}=m.a  (6)

Finding the acceleration a:

a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}  (7)

a=\frac{170.63 N}{3kg} (8)

Finally:

a=56.87m/s^{2}

What's the formula to find out power
Julli [10]

In general, 

                 Power = (energy moved) / (time to move the energy) .

If it's mechanical power, then     

                 Power = (work done) / (time to do the work) .

If it's electrical power, then it can be any one of these:

                 Power  =  (volts)  x  (amperes)

                 Power  =  (volts)²  /  (resistance, ohms)

                 Power  =  (amperes)²  x  (resistance, ohms) .

Whatever kind of energy you're dealing with, power always
turns out to be

                  (amount of energy produced, used, or moved)
divided by
                  (time taken to produce, use, or move the energy) .

On an ice skating rink, a girl of mass 50 kg stands stationary, face to face with a boy of mass 80 kg. The children push off of
sasho [114]

The velocity of the girl is  -4.8 m/s.

Using the principle of conservation of linear momentum, The total momentum of  bodies before and after collision is constant. Since the two objects are stationary, the initial momentum of each body is zero.

Thus;

0 = (80 × 3) + (50 × v)

0 = 240 + 50 v

-240 = 50 v

v = -240/50

v = -4.8 m/s

Note that the negative sign shows that the velocity of the girl is in opposite direction that that of the girl.

8. At what position does the mass have the greatest acceleration?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Option (e)

Explanation:

If a mass attached to a spring is stretched and released, it follows a simple harmonic motion.

In simple harmonic motion, velocity of the mass will be maximum, kinetic energy is maximum and acceleration is 0 at equilibrium position (at 0 position).

At position +A, mass will have the minimum kinetic energy, zero velocity and maximum acceleration.

Therefore, Option (e) will be the answer.
