The mass is 20 kg, initial speed is 30 m/s and the final speed is 0 m/s (rest), 
while the force is 15 N
Using second newton's law of motion which states that the rate of change in momentum is directly proportional to the resultant force. Then
 Ft = MV-MU
15 t = 20 (0-3)
15t = -60
  t = -4 sec ( negative because the force is acting on opposite direction to the motion)
Therefore, the time taken is 4 seconds

Since all objects are ‘weightless’ for an astronaut in orbit, is it possible for astronauts to tell whether an object is heavy o
ivanzaharov [21]
W=gm
where g - gravitation 
m - mass
w - weight
as gravitation equals to zero, multiplying by 0 gives W=0
It is not possible to tell whether and object is heavy or light

What is the greatest distance an image can be located behind a convex spherical mirror?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Maximum distance of image from mirror is equal to focal length of the mirror

Explanation:

As we know by the equation of mirror we have

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

here we know for convex mirror

object position is always negative as it will be placed behind the mirror always

while the focal length of the convex mirror is always taken positive

So here we have

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{-d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

\frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{f}

so here maximum value of image distance is equal to focal length of the mirror

In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the expression x= 5.0 cos
lakkis [162]

Answer:

a)   x = 4.33 m ,   b)  w = 2 rad / s ,  f = 0.318 Hz ,  c) a = - 17.31 cm / s²,  

d) T =  3.15 s,  e)  A = 5.0 cm

Explanation:

In this exercise on simple harmonic motion we are given the expression for motion

          x = 5 cos (2t + π / 6)

they ask us for t = 0

a) the position of the particle

      x = 5 cos (π / 6)

      x = 4.33 m

remember angles are in radians

 

b) The general form of the equation is

          x = A cos (w t + Ф)

when comparing the two equations

         w = 2 rad / s

angular velocity and frequency are related

          w = 2π f

           f = w / 2π

           f = 2 / 2pi

           f = 0.318 Hz

c) the acceleration is defined by

      a == d²x / dt²

      a = - A w² cos (wt + Ф)

for t = 0 ,  we substitute

      a = - 5,0 2² cos (π / 6)

      a = - 17.31 cm / s²

d) El period is

          T = 1/f

         T= 1/0.318

         T =  3.15 s

e) the amplitude

        A = 5.0 cm
