Answer:

2000 nickels

Explanation:

One way to solve proportionality problems, direct and inverse: the simple 3 rule.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct (when one magnitude increases so does the other), the simple direct rule of three must be applied.

On the contrary, if the relationship between the magnitudes is inverse (when one magnitude increases the other decreases) the rule of three simple inverse applies.

The simple 3 rule is an operation that helps us quickly solve proportionality problems, both direct and inverse.

To make a simple rule of three we need 3 data: two magnitudes proportional to each other, and a third magnitude. From these, we will find out the fourth term of proportionality.

In the simple three rule, therefore, the proportionality relationship between two known values A and B is established, and knowing a third value C, a fourth value D is calculated.

A -> B

C -> D

Calculation

1 nickel --> 5 g

X? nickel --> 10000g

X = (10000 g * 1 nickel) / 5 g

X = 2000 nickels

A 5.00 kg crate is suspended from the end of a short vertical rope of negligible mass. An upward force F(t) is applied to the en

Brut [27]

Answer:

75 N

Explanation:

In this problem, the position of the crate at time t is given by

$y(t)=2.80t+0.61t^3$

The velocity of the crate vs time is given by the derivative of the position, so it is:

$v(t)=y'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(2.80t+0.61t^3)=2.80+1.83t^2$

Similarly, the acceleration of the crate vs time is given by the derivative of the velocity, so it is:

$a(t)=v'(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(2.80+1.83t^2)=3.66t$ [m/s^2]

According to Newton's second law of motion, the force acting on the crate is equal to the product between mass and acceleration, so:

$F(t)=ma(t)$

where

m = 5.00 kg is the mass of the crate

At t = 4.10 s, the acceleration of the crate is

$a(4.10)=3.66\cdot 4.10 =15.0 m/s^2$

And therefore, the force on the crate is:

$F=ma=(5.00)(15.0)=75 N$

A baseball is launched horizontally from a height of 1.8 m. The baseball travels 0.5 m before hitting the ground. How fast is th

zysi [14]

Answer:

0.83 m/s

Explanation:

FIrst of all, we have to find the time of flight, i.e. the time the baseball needs to reach the ground. This can be done by using the equation for the vertical motion:

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h is the initial height

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting h = 1.8 m and solving for t,

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.8)}{9.8}}=0.61 s$

We know that the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is

d = 0.5 m

Therefore, we can find the horizontal velocity (which is constant during the whole motion):

$v= \frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.5}{0.60}=0.83 m/s$

How can you increase the force required to move an object without changing the mass of the object?

Effectus [21]

To increase the force required to move an object without change mass is : To increase the acceleration of the object

<h3>Force acting on an object </h3>

Given that Force = Mass * acceleration

An increase in the acceleration of an object in motion will result in a proportional increase in the Force required to move the object becasue force of an object is directly proportional to the acceleration of an object.

Hence we can conclude that To increase the force required to move an object without change mass is To increase the acceleration of the object.
