Answer: 4.7m/s²

Explanation:

According to newton's first law,

Force = mass × acceleration

Since we are given more the one force, we will take the resultant of the two vectors.

Mass = 2.0kg

F1+F2 = (3i-8j)+(5i+3j)

Adding component wise, we have;

F1+F2 = 3i+5i-8j+3j

F1+F2 = 8i-5j

Resultant of the sum of the forces will be;

R² = (8i)²+(-5j)²

Since i.i = j.j = 1

R² = 8²+5²

R² = 64+25

R² = 89

R = √89

R = 9.4N

Our resultant force = 9.4N

Substituting in the formula

F = ma

9.4 = 2a

a = 9.4/2

a = 4.7m/s²

Therefore, magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is 4.7m/s²

What is E=m² the famous theory of albert einstien?
pshichka [43]
Actually it's E = mc^{2} and it says that the energy of an object (E) is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied with the squared speed of light (c^{2}). This theory says that mass can be turned into energy and energy can be turned into mass. This is one of Einstein's theory of relativity.

Dejamos caer un objeto desde lo alto de una torre y medimos el tiempo que tarda en llegar al suelo que resulta ser de 0,02 minut
Harman [31]

Answer: a) 11.76 m/s  b) 7.056 m

Explanation:

The described situation is as follows:

An object is dropped from the top of a tower and when measuring the time it takes to reach the ground that turns out to be 0.02 minutes.

This situation is related to free fall, this also means we have constant acceleration, hence the equations we will use are:

V_{f}=V_{o}+at (1)  

{V_{f}}^{2}={V_{o}}^{2}+2ad (2)  

Where:  

V_{f} Is the final velocity of the object

V_{o}=0 Is the initial velocity of the object (it was dropped)

a=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

d is the height of the tower

t=0.02min=1.2 s is the time it takes to the object to reach the ground

b) Begining with (1):

V_{f}=0+at (3)  

V_{f}=at=(9.8 m/s^{2})(1.2 s) (4)  

V_{f}=11.76 m/s (5)  This is the final velocity of the object

a) Substituting (5) in (2):

(11.76 m/s)^{2}=0+2(9.8 m/s^{2})d (6)  

Clearing d:

d=\frac{(11.76 m/s)^{2}}{2(9.8 m/s^{2})} (7)  

d=7.056 m (8)  This is the height of the tower
