Answer:

1291.08 N

Explanation:

acceleration=change in speed per unit time

a=\frac {v-u}{t} where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively.

u is zero and v=160 km/h converted to m/s becomes160\times \frac {1000m}{3600s}\approx 44.44 m/s

acceleration=\frac {44.44-0}{8}\approx 5.56 m/s^{2}

Apparent weight, F_N=m(g+a)

Taking g as 9.81 and m as 84 Kg then

F_N=84(9.81+5.56)\approx 1291.08 N

Describe what happens when you jump from a small boat onto a dock from the perspective of the 3rd Law.
IgorLugansk [536]

according to newton's third law, every action has equal and opposite reaction. in this scenario of making a jump from the boat onto a dock, as i jump my feet in contact with the boat push the boat in backward direction. hence the action force is the push by my feet on the boat. the boat reacts by applying a reaction force on my feet pushing the feet in forward direction. hence reaction force here is the force by the boat on the feet. due to the reaction force of the boat on feet, i am pushed in forward direction to reach the the dock.

Compare positive and negative feedback mechanisms.
NeX [460]

Answer:

In positive feedback mechanism, the output is fed back to the system which further increases the output. Hence, it is known as positive feedback because it amplifies the output.

In the negative feedback mechanism, the output is fed back to the system which further decreases the the output. Hence, it is known as negative feedback because it reduces the output.

A 20 kg box has 1000 joules of potential energy on a shelf. How high is the shelf?
navik [9.2K]
Formula: PE = mgh
m = 20 kg, g = 9.8 m/s^2 h= ?
1000 = 20 * 9.8 * h
1000 = 196h
h = 5.10204082
The height is around 5m
