A student starts a food fight by throwing a 0.5 kg burrito at some girl he likes. He throws it kind-of hard so he accelerates it

at 3 m/s2. How much force did this take?
Physics
1 answer:
Elenna [48]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

m = mass of burrito thrown by the student = 0.5 kg

a = acceleration of the burrito thrown by the student = 3 m/s²

F = force applied by the student on the burrito = ?

According to newton's second law , the net force on an object is the product of its mass and acceleration. it is given as

F = ma

inserting the values

F = (0.5) (3)

F = 1.5 N

hence the net force on the burrito comes out to be 1.5 N

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

120 N

Explanation: First we shoud consider the forces acted on a tree

Friction foce - acting opposite to the moving direction

Weight - Directly acting downwards

Reaction - Directly acting on upwards

For minimum required force should be equal to the friction force

F = μ R

F = 0.5×480

= 120N

From the edge of a cliff, a 0.46 kg projectile is launched with an initial kinetic energy of 1430 J. The projectile's maximum up
wel

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of Projectile(m)=0.46 kg

Initial Kinetic Energy=1430 J

Maximum upward displacement from Launch point=150 m

K.E.=\frac{mv^2}{2}

1430\times 2=0.46\times v^2

v=78.85 m/s

and H_{max}=\frac{v^2\sin ^2\theta }{2g}

150=\frac{(78.85)^2\sin ^2\theta }{2\times 9.8}

\sin \theta =0.687

\theta =43.39^{\circ}

initial horizontal velocity(v_x)=v\cos \theta

v_x=78.84\times \cos (43.39)=57.29 m/s

Initial vertical velocity(v_y)=v\sin \theta

v_y=78.85\times \sin (43.39)

v_y=54.16 m/s

(c)vertical velocity at any instant=65 m/s

Since initial vertical velocity is 54.16 m/s

so 65 m/s will be acquired when projectile started falling below cliff

v^2-u^2=2 a s

65^2-54.16^2=2\times 9.8\times s

s=65.90 m

A child pushes a 100 kg refrigerator with a force of 50 N, but the refrigerator does not move. Suppose the coefficient of static
faust18 [17]

Answer:

50 N

Explanation:

Since the refrigerator doesn’t move, that means the force of friction equals the amount of force the child exerts on the fridge. If the friction force were greater than the force by the child, the fridge would start accelerating towards the child. If it were less than the force the child exerted, the fridge would start accelerating away from the child. Therefore, the net force must be 0, in this case, the friction force is equal to the force the child exerted, for it to stay at rest (as Newton’s First Law stated).

I hope this helps! :)
