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.

A 2.00-kg block of ice is moving on a frictionless horizontal surface. At t = 0 the block is moving to the right with a velocity

enyata [817]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

We shall apply the concept of impulse .

Impulse = force x time = change in momentum

= 5 x 4 = 2 ( V - 3 ) , where V is final velocity of the object

20 = 2V - 6

V = 13 m /s

b )

Impulse applied = - 7 x 4 = - 28 kg m/s ( negative as direction of force is opposite motion )

If v be the final velocity

2 x 3 - 28 = 2 v ( initial momentum - change in momentum = final momentum )

- 22 = 2v

v = - 11 m /s

object will move with 11 m /s in opposite direction .

An hydrogen molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms whose total mass is 3.3×10−27 kg and whose moment of inertia about an axis p

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Explanation:

I = Moment of inertia = $4\times 10^{-48}\ kg m^2$

m = Mass of two atoms = 2m = $3.3\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

r = distance between axis and rotation mass

Moment of inertia of the system is given by

$I=mr^2\\\Rightarrow I=2mr^2\\\Rightarrow 4\times 10^{-48}=3.3\times 10^{-27}\times r^2\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\frac{4\times 10^{-48}}{3.3\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow r=3.48155\times 10^{-11}\ m$

The distance between the atoms will be two times the distance between axis and rotation mass.

$d=2r\\\Rightarrow d=2\times 3.48155\times 10^{-11}\\\Rightarrow d=6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$

Therefore, the distance between the two atoms is $6.9631\times 10^{-11}\ m$

How does the electrostatic force compare with the strong nuclear force in the

diamong [38]

Answer:

Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force

Explanation:

There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:

- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

$F_E=\frac{kq_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.

The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.

- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.

At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.
