The change in velocity is 10 m/s in 5 seconds.

sinces a = change in velocity/time

a= 10/5

a=2

Calculate the force needed to accelerate a car of a mass 1000 kg by 3 m/s2

beks73 [17]

Answer:

<h2>3000 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 1000 × 3

We have the final answer as

<h3>3000 N</h3>

A paper clip that has a mass of 1.5 grams is thrown into the air and initially has a kinetic energy

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

$v = 4.2 \ m/s$

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of the paper clip, $m = 1.5 \ g = 0.0015 \ kg$

Kinetic energy, $K = 0.013 \ \rm J$

Let the velocity of the paper clip when it is thrown be <em>v</em>.

Thus,

$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$0.013 = 0.5 \times 0.0015 \times v^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \ v = 4.16 \ m/s$

$v = 4.2 \ m/s.$ (rounding to nearest tenth)

At the equator, the radius of the Earth is approximately 6370 km. A plane flies at a very low altitude at a constant speed of v

Cerrena [4.2K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of linear motion. From there we will define the distance as the circumference of the earth (approximate as a sphere). With the speed given in the statement we will simply clear the equations below and find the time.

$R= 6370*10^3 m$

$v = 239m/s$

$a = 16.5m/s^2$

The circumference of the earth would be

$\phi = 2\pi R$

Velocity is defined as,

$v = \frac{x}{t}$

$t = \frac{x}{v}$

Here $x = \phi$ , then

$t = \frac{\phi}{v} = \frac{2\pi (6370*10^3)}{239}$

$t = 167463.97s$

Therefore will take 167463.97 s or 1 day 22 hours 31 minutes and 3.97seconds
