Answer:

260 N

Explanation:

The acceleration of the skier is gotten by using an equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2as

where <em>u</em> and <em>v</em> are the initial and final velocities, <em>a</em> is the acceleration and <em>s</em> is the distance.

a = \dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s} = \dfrac{12^2-0^2}{2\times25} = 2.88 \text{ m/s}^2

The force on the slider is then

F = ma

F = 92\times2.88 = 264.96 \text{ N} = 260 \text{ N}

Answer:

264.96 N.

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of the mass and the acceleration of a body.

From the question,

F = ma.................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the water skier, a = acceleration of the water skier.From Newton's equation of motion,

v² = u²+2as.............. Equation 2

Where v and u = final and initial velocity respectively, a = acceleration, s = distance.

Given: v = 12 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( from rest), s = 25 m

Substitute into equation 2

12² = 0²+2(25)(a)

144 = 50a

a = 144/50

a = 2.88 m/s².

Also given: m = 92 kg.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 92(2.88)

F = 264.96 N.

A student wants to determine the impulse delivered to the lab cart when it runs into the wall. The student measures the mass of
WINSTONCH [101]

The correct answer to the question is : A) The velocity of the cart after it hits the wall.

EXPLANATION:

Before answering this question, first we have to understand impulse.

Impulse of a body is defined as the change in momentum or the product of force with time.

Mathematically impulse = m ( v- u ).

Here, v is the final momentum and u is the initial momentum.

Hence, we need the velocity of the cart after it hits the wall in order to calculate the impulse of the lab cart.

An aerobatic airplane pilot experiences weightlessness as she passes over the top of a loop-the-loop maneuver. the acceleration
Yanka [14]
The acceleration due to gravity serves as the centripetal acceleration of the objects that orbits the Earth. The centripetal acceleration due to gravity is calculated through the equation,

    a = v²/r

where v is the speed and r is the radius. Substituting the known values to the equation,

   9.8 m/s² = (420 m/s)² / r

The value of r from the equation is 18000 m or equal to 18 km.

<em>Answer: 18 km</em>

How do the Sun, Earth, and Moon systems interact
Nataly [62]

The sun is the mother star of the solar system, which only emits light to half of the planet, while the other part is always dark.

The sun emits light towards the earth, which dominates all life on earth. The movements of the Moon around the Earth and of the Earth around the Sun are complex. Movements of rotation around their own axes are superimposed on movements of orbital translation. The Earth and the Moon rotate around their own axes: This is rotation.

Which force is represented by the arrow at
shutvik [7]

A is pulling the block straight down toward the center of the Earth, no matter what the slope of the plane may be. A is the force of gravity.

The directions of B and C both depend on the slope of the plane.

B is a force that's parallel to the plane, pulling the block UP the plane. B is the force of friction.

C is a force perpendicular to the plane, preventing the block from falling down through the plane. C is the normal force.
