Explanation:

There are 5 kinematic equations, and 5 variables.

Each question will give you 3 variables and ask you to solve for a fourth.

To determine which equation to use, look at which variable is <em>not</em> included in the problem.

For example, if the question does not include time, then you need to use a kinematic equation that does not have t in it. That would be:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

Or, if the question does not include the final velocity, then you need a kinematic equation that does not have v in it. That would be:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

A 30 N rightward force is exerted on a 7 kg object. There is a 3 N force of friction acting on the object. What is the Weight of

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

W = 68.6 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on a right side = 30 N

Mass of the object, m = 7 kg

The force of friction acting on the car = 3 N

We need to find the weight of the object.

The weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

Substitute all the values,

W = 7 × 9.8

W = 68.6 N

So, the weight of the object is 68.6 N.

If half of the weight of a flatbed truck is supported by its two drive wheels, what is the maximum acceleration it can achieve o

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration will be equal to $3.43m/sec^2$

Explanation:

We have given coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu _k=0.7$

And coefficient of static friction $\mu _s=1$

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

When truck moves maximum force will be equal to $F=\mu _kmg$

It is given that half of the weight is supported by its drive wheels

So force required $=\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}$

From newtons law maximum acceleration will be equal to $a=\frac{\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}}{m}=\frac{\mu _kg}{2}=\frac{0.7\times 9.8}{2}=3.43m/sec^2$

Using examples, explain why the first and second Newton laws of motion are significant for living organisms.

Triss [41]

Answer:

1) Newton's first law of motion states an object will remain at rest or in uniform will be in uniform motion in a straight line unless a force acts on it

2) Newton's second law states the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the applied force acting on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Explanation:

1) With Newton's first law, we are able arrange things within a space and schedule meetings in time knowing that they will remain in place unless an external force changes their positions

2) An example of Newton's second law of motion is that small objects such as a ball are easily accelerated and can be given appreciable acceleration for flight by single, one time contact (such as kicking the ball) while larger objects such as a rock require sustained force application to change their location.
