<u>Answer:</u>
Force = 20N
acceleration (a) = 1.5 m/s²
Mass of object (m) = ?
<u>From Newtons II law</u>
<em> F = m. a N</em>
m = F/a
m = 20/1.5
<em> m = 13.34 Kg</em>
<em>Mass of an object is 13.34 Kg</em>
First I’ll show you this standard derivation using conservation of energy:
Pi=Kf,
mgh = 1/2 m v^2,
V = sqrt(2gh)
P is initial potential energy, K is final kinetic, m is mass of object, h is height from stopping point, v is final velocity.
In this case the height difference for the hill is 2-0.5=1.5 m. Thus the ball is moving at sqrt(2(10)(1.5))=
5.477 m/s.
Heat engines are less than 100% efficient because absolute zero cannot be reached
The time that the car take to catch up to truck would be :
1/2 ar^2 = vt
1/2 (3) t^2 = 15t
1.5 t^2 = 15t
t ^2 = 10s
Hope this helps
