Answer:

$C. 1.27x10^5m/s^2$

Explanation:

The information we have is:

mass: $m=145g$

we must convert this amount to kilograms, because 1 kilogram equals 1000 grams, we divide the grams by 1000 to have the amount in kilograms

mass: $m=145g/1000=0.145kg$

also we know the force: $F=18,400N$

To know the acceleration of the object we make use of Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

and we clear for the acceleration $a$

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

and we substitute the known values:

$a=\frac{18,400N}{0.145kg} =126,896.6m/s^2$

rounding and expressing this value for acceleration in a compact way:

$a=1.27x10^5m/s ^2$ which is option C

The correct formula to use for the situation given above is: F = MA, where F is the applied force, M is the mass of the object and A is the acceleration.

From the details given in the question, we are told that:

F = 18, 400N

M = 145 g = 145 / 1000 = 0.145 kg

A = ?

From the equation F = MA

A = F / M

A = 18,400 / 0.145 = 126,896.55 = 1.27 *10^5.

Therefore, the correct option is C.

Jasmine is diving off a 3-meter springboard. her height in meters above the water when she is x meters horizontally from the end

olganol [36]

Answer:

5.25 m

Explanation:

Given;

The height equation h;

h=-x^2+3x+3

Where;

h = the height above water

x = horizontal distance from the end of the board

The maximum height is at h' = 0, when change in h with respect to change in x is equal to zero.

differentiating the equation h.

dh/dx = h' = -2x + 3 = 0

Solving for x;

2x = 3

x = 3/2

Substituting into the function h;

h max = -x^2+3x+3

h max = -(3/2)^2 + 3(3/2) +3 = -9/4 +9/2 +3 = 9/4 + 3 =

h max = 21/4 = 5.25 m

A proton is held at rest in a uniform electric field. When it is released, the proton will lose?

nydimaria [60]

A proton is held at rest in a uniform electric field. When it is released, the proton will lose its kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy

The energy an object has as a result of motion is known as kinetic energy in physics. It is described as the effort required to move a mass-determined body from rest to the indicated velocity. The body holds onto the kinetic energy it acquired during its acceleration until its speed changes. The body exerts the same amount of effort when slowing down from its current pace to a condition of rest. Formally, kinetic energy is any term that includes a derivative with respect to time in the Lagrangian of a system.

A system undergoes a two-step process. In the first step, the internal energy of the system increases by 222 J when 150 J of wor

joja [24]

Answer:0 J

Explanation:

Given

For first step

change in internal Energy of the system is $\Delta U_1=222 J$

Work done on the system $W_1=-150 J$

For second step

change in internal Energy of the system is $\Delta U_2=123 J$

Work done on the system $W_2=-195 J$

Work done on the system is considered as Positive and vice-versa.

and from first law of thermodynamics

$Q=\Delta U+W$

for first step

$Q_1=222-150=72 J$

$Q_2=123-195=-72 J$

overall heat added $=Q_1+Q_2$

$Q_{net}=72-72 =0$

For overall Process Heat added is 0 J

I need homework help

KIM [24]

1) the weight of an object at Earth's surface is given by $F=mg$ , where m is the mass of the object and $g=9.81 m/s^2$ is the gravitational acceleration at Earth's surface. The book in this problem has a mass of m=2.2 kg, therefore its weight is
$F=mg=(2.2 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=21.6 N$

2) On Mars, the value of the gravitational acceleration is different: $g=3.7 m/s^2$ . The formula to calculate the weight of the object on Mars is still the same, but we have to use this value of g instead of the one on Earth: $F=mg=(2.2 kg)(3.7 m/s^2)=8.1 N$

3) The weight of the textbook on Venus is F=19.6 N. We already know its mass (m=2.2 kg), therefore by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg, we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Venus:
$g= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{ 19.6 N}{2.2 kg}=8.9 m/s^2$

4) The mass of the pair of running shoes is m=0.5 kg. Their weight is F=11.55 N, therefore we can find the value of the gravitational acceleration g on Jupiter by re-arranging the usual equation F=mg:
$g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{11.55 N}{0.5 kg} =23.1 m/s^2$

5) The weight of the pair of shoes of m=0.5 kg on Pluto is F=0.3 N. As in the previous step, we can calculate the strength of the gravity g on Pluto as
$g= \frac{F}{m} = \frac{0.3 N}{0.5 kg} =0.6 m/s^2$

6) On Earth, the gravity acceleration is $g=9.81 m/s^2$ . The mass of the pair of shoes is m=0.5 kg, therefore their weight on Earth is
 $F=mg=(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=4.9 N$

Explain why it is better to jump and land with bent knees rather than straight legs? Use key physics vocabulary.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

Bent knees

Explanation:

Depending the height your jumping from, if you were jumping from a high structure it's best if you jump and land on knees so you dont sprang your ankles from jumping and landing on your straight legs, you could even pull a muscle if you land on straight legs.
