A net force of 20 N acting on a wooden block produces an

Physics
1 answer:
Ymorist [56]3 years ago
5 0

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

An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to
Lana71 [14]

complete question:

An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot

Answer:

a ≈  5281 ft

Explanation:

The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff  measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.

The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°

The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°.  90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.  

using SOHCAHTOA  principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)

tan  85° = opposite / adjacent

tan 85°  = a / 462

cross multiply

462 × tan 85° = a

a = 11.4300523 × 462

a =  5280.66  ft

a ≈  5281 ft

What is inertia?by Walter Levin..<br>​
Tom [10]

Inertia is directly proportional to mass.

What is Walter Lewin famous for?

Walter Hendrik Gustav Lewin (born January 29, 1936) is a Dutch astrophysicist and former professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Lewin earned his doctorate in nuclear physics in 1965 at the Delft University of Technology and was a member of MIT's physics faculty for 43 years beginning in 1966 until his retirement in 2009.

According to Walter Levin,

The concept of moment of inertia is demonstrated by rolling a series of cylinders down an inclined plane.

Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to a change in its velocity. This includes changes to the object's speed, or direction of motion. An aspect of this property is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed when no forces act upon them.

By rolling a series of cylinders down on an inclined plane , he demonstrated that a cylinder have a smooth friction.

He compares the rolling cylinder by using hollow cylinder and a heavy cylinder , and finalize the result that a hollow cylinder moves slowly but the heavy cylinder move faster.

Hence , By doing this experiment he explained about the inertia that Inertia depend on the mass of the object. As the heavy the object it will take more time to travel or move.
