Answer:

From the second law of motion:

F = ma

we are given that the force applied on the block is 20N and the block accelerates at an acceleration of 4 m/s/s

So, F= 20N and a = 4 m/s/s

Replacing the variables in the equation:

20 = 4* m

m = 20 / 4

m = 5 kg

Answer:

0.085m/s²

Explanation:

Use v²=v0²+2a(d)

solve for a

v²-v0²/2d=a

Plug in givens

1.89²-0.78²/2*17.5=a

Plug into calculator

In your physics lab you are given a 10.1-kg uniform rectangular plate with edge lengths 68.7 cm by 47.5 cm. Your lab instructor

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

2.35 kgm^2

Explanation:

we take length 68.7 cm as x-axis and 47.5 cm as y-axis then the axis about which we have to find out moment of inertia will be z-axis.

moment of inertia about x-axis

$I_x = ML^2 /3 = 10.1\times 0.4752 /3 = 0.7596$ kg-m2

$I_y = 10.1\times 0.6872 / 3 = 1.5889 kgm^2$

by perpendicular axis theorem

$I_z = I_x + I_y = 0.7596 + 1.5889 = 2.35 kgm^2$
