Any two objects in the universe attract each other. Gravity is the force exerted by earth on you (you exert the same force on earth) but due to the fact that earth has a huge mass compared to yours, you will be attracted to earth only by a small gravitational force.
For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.
For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!
Answer:
The velocity of the freight car decreases.
Explanation:
This question is answered by the conservation of momentum principle.
When the freight car is moving at a certain speed, it has a constant momentum.
We will call this M1.
The equation for M1 will be:
M1 = Mass * Speed
Now when the coal is dumped into the freight car, the Mass increases.
Since conservation of momentum states that the momentum will remain the same. We have:
M1 = (Mass of freight + Mass of coal) * Speed
Since M1 is constant, if the mass increases, the speed had to decrease to keep the equation true.
Answer:
a) Ep = 5886[J]; b) v = 14[m/s]; c) W = 5886[J]; d) F = 1763.4[N]
Explanation:
a)
The potential energy can be found using the following expression, we will take the ground level as the reference point where the potential energy is equal to zero.
![E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\m = mass = 60[kg]\\g = gravity = 9.81[m/s^2]\\h = elevation = 10 [m]\\E_{p}=60*9.81*10\\E_{p}=5886[J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_%7Bp%7D%20%3Dm%2Ag%2Ah%5C%5Cwhere%3A%5C%5Cm%20%3D%20mass%20%3D%2060%5Bkg%5D%5C%5Cg%20%3D%20gravity%20%3D%209.81%5Bm%2Fs%5E2%5D%5C%5Ch%20%3D%20elevation%20%3D%2010%20%5Bm%5D%5C%5CE_%7Bp%7D%3D60%2A9.81%2A10%5C%5CE_%7Bp%7D%3D5886%5BJ%5D)
b)
Since energy is conserved, that is, potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, the moment the harpsichord touches water, all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
![E_{p} = E_{k} \\5886 =0.5*m*v^{2} \\v = \sqrt{\frac{5886}{0.5*60} }\\v = 14[m/s]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_%7Bp%7D%20%3D%20E_%7Bk%7D%20%5C%5C5886%20%3D0.5%2Am%2Av%5E%7B2%7D%20%5C%5Cv%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%7B%5Cfrac%7B5886%7D%7B0.5%2A60%7D%20%7D%5C%5Cv%20%3D%2014%5Bm%2Fs%5D)
c)
The work is equal to
W = 5886 [J]
d)
We need to use the following equation and find the deceleration of the diver at the moment when he stops his velocity is zero.
![v_{f} ^{2}= v_{o} ^{2}-2*a*d\\where:\\d = 2.5[m]\\v_{f}=0\\v_{o} =14[m/s]\\Therefore\\a = \frac{14^{2} }{2*2.5} \\a = 39.2[m/s^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=v_%7Bf%7D%20%5E%7B2%7D%3D%20v_%7Bo%7D%20%5E%7B2%7D-2%2Aa%2Ad%5C%5Cwhere%3A%5C%5Cd%20%3D%202.5%5Bm%5D%5C%5Cv_%7Bf%7D%3D0%5C%5Cv_%7Bo%7D%20%3D14%5Bm%2Fs%5D%5C%5CTherefore%5C%5Ca%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B14%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%7B2%2A2.5%7D%20%5C%5Ca%20%3D%2039.2%5Bm%2Fs%5E2%5D)
By performing a sum of forces equal to the product of mass by acceleration (newton's second law), we can find the force that acts to reduce the speed of the diver to zero.
m*g - F = m*a
F = m*a - m*g
F = (60*39.2) - (60*9.81)
F = 1763.4 [N]
Answer:
hope it helps
Explanation:
Newtons third law is that objects exert equal and opposite forces on each other.
'every action has an equal and opposite reaction'.
