Answer:

-0.18 N

Explanation:

The motion of the piece of rubber is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find its acceleration using the suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where:

v = 10 m/s is the final speed

u = 20 m/s is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

s = 102 m is the distance covered

Solving for a,

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{10^2-20^2}{2(102)}=-1.47 m/s^2$

The net force acting on the piece of rubber is the force of friction; according to Newton's second law of motion, the force is equal to the product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$F=ma$

Here we have

m = 0.125 kg is the mass

Therefore, the force of friction is:

$F=ma=(0.125)(-1.47)=-0.18 N$

And the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of motion.

The difference in weight is due to the displacement of water (the buoyancy of water is acting on the athlete thus giving her smaller weight).<span>

The amount of weight displaced or the amount of buoyant force is: </span>

Fb = 690 N - 48 N

Fb = 642 N

From newtons law, F = m*g. Using this formula, we can calculate for the mass of water displaced:

m of water displaced = 642N / 9.8m/s^2

m of water displaced = 65.5 kg

Assuming a water density of 1 kg/L, and using the formula volume = mass/density:

V of water displaced = 65.5kg / 1kg/L = 65.5 L

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of athlete. Therefore:

V of athlete = 65.5 L

The mass of athlete can also be calculated using, F = m*g

m of athlete = 690 N/ 9.8m/s^2

m of athlete = 70.41 kg

Knowing the volume and mass of athlete, her average density is therefore:

average density = 70.41 kg / 65.5 L

<span>average density = 1.07 kg/L = 1.07 g/mL</span>

Answer:

a) 73.2N

b) 66.6N

c) 20.28N

Explanation:

F= mg=7.5×9.8=73.5N

Force parallel to the plane Fp= 73.5sin25= 31.06N

b) Fv= 73.5 cos25= 66.6N

c) Ff= u×Fv= 0.312×66.6=20.28N

a) Normal ForceFn= F/(cos25) - Fp - Ff = ma

1.1F -31.06-20.28=7.5×3.82

1.1F -51.84=28.65

1.1F= 28.65+51.84

F= 80.49/1.1

F= 73.2N

mihalych1998 [28]

We have that F=ma from the 2nd Newton law where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration. Suppose we have that F' is the new force and m' is the new mass. Then, we have that a'=F'/m' still, by rearranging Newton's law. We are given that F'=2F and m'=m/2. Hence,
$a'= \frac{2F}{ \frac{m}{2} } = \frac{4F}{m} = 4\frac{F}{m}$
But now, we have from F=ma, that a=F/m and we are given that a=1m/s^2.
We can substitute thus, a'=4a=4*1m/s^2=4m/s^2.

A large box has a mass of 500kg and the coefficient of static friction for the box and the floor is 0.45, and the coefficient of

Mumz [18]

A) The friction force while the box is stationary is (the coefficient of static friction)*(the normal force). In this case, the normal force is equal to the gravitational force, or the weight. To move the box, we need a minimum horizontal force that is equal to the friction force. The weight is (500 kg)*(9.81 m/s^2)= 4905 N. So, (0.45)*(4905 N) = 2207.25 N.

b) The acceleration will be the horizontal force - the kinetic friction force (since they act in opposite directions) divided by the mass. Kinetic friction force = (coefficient of kinetic friction)*(normal force or weight).

F(net) = (2207.25 N)-(0.30)(4905 N) = 735.75 N

a = (735.75 N)/(500kg)= 1.4715 m/s^2
