In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.

By how much does the earth-Sun distance change? 300,000 miles 500,000 miles 3,000,000 miles 3,500 miles
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

3,000,000 miles

Explanation:

The Earth's perihelion distance is about 147,000,000 kilometers and its aphelion distance is about 152,000,000 kilometers. So, the change in distance is about 5,000,000 kilometers which translates to about 3,000,000 in Miles.

Find the acceleration of an object that has a mass of 6 kg, if it is acted upon by a net force of 42 N.
pychu [463]

Answer:

7 m/s²

Explanation:

The formula for force is:

f= m*a

We want to find acceleration, so we must rearrange the formula for a. Divide both sides of the equation by m

\frac{f}{m}=\frac{m*a}{m}

\frac{f}{m}=a

Acceleration can be found by dividing the force by the mass.

The force is 42 newtons and the mass is 6 kilograms. A newton is equal to 1 kg * m/s², therefore the force is 42 kg* m/s².

f= 42 kg*m/s^2\\m=6 kg

Substitute the values into the formula.

a=\frac{f}{m}

a=\frac{42 kg*m/s^2}{6kg}

Divide. When we divide, the kg in the numerator and denominator will cancel each other out.

a=\frac{42}{6}m/s^2

a= 7 m/s^2

The acceleration of the object is 7 meters per square seconds.

A planet moves fastest in its orbit around the sun when it is at which position?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

When it's closest to the sun.

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on a planet is equal to its mass times its centripetal acceleration.

Fg = m v^2 / r

The force of gravity is defined by Newton's law of universal gravitation as:

Fg = mMG / r^2

Therefore:

mMG / r^2 = m v^2 / r

MG / r = v^2

v increases as r decreases.  So the planet is moving fastest when it's closest to the sun, also known as the <em>perihelion</em>.

How does a battery work?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Essentials. A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The flow of electrons provides an electric current that can be used to do work.
