Acceleration because of the small streams

Answer: The force applied.

Explanation:

An object moves when force is applied in the direction of the force. This from the second law of motion given by Newton. F = ma . Here, the puck floats due to the streams of air in the upward direction. This reduces the friction as well. Now the puck moves horizontal due the force applied on the puck by you and your friend.

A woman is applying 300N/m2 of pressure on to door with her hand. Her hand has area of 0.02m2. Work out the force being applied​
never [62]

Answer:

6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Pressure applied by the woman  = 300N/m²

Area = 0.02m²

Unknown:

Force applied  = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body

        Pressure  = \frac{force}{area}

         Force  = Pressure x area

        Force  = 300 x 0.02  = 6N

How do you do this problem?
kvasek [131]

Explanation:

First, find the velocity of the projectile needed to reach a height h when fired straight up.

Given:

Δy = h

v = 0

a = -g

Find: v₀

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0)² = v₀² + 2(-g)(h)

v₀ = √(2gh)

Now find the height reached if the projectile is launched at a 45° angle.

Given:

v₀ = √(2gh) sin 45° = √(2gh) / √2 = √(gh)

v = 0

a = -g

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0)² = √(gh)² + 2(-g)Δy

2gΔy = gh

Δy = h/2

Star Twinkle but planet do not why​
V125BC [204]

Answer:The total variation in the amount of light entering our eye is not dectiable therefore planets do not twinkle.

Explanation:Stars twinkle, while planets (usually) shine steadily. Why? Stars twinkle because … they're so far away from Earth that, even through large telescopes, they appear only as pinpoints. ... Planets shine more steadily because … they're closer to Earth and so appear not as pinpoints, but as tiny disks in our sky.As light from a star races through our atmosphere, it bounces and bumps through the different layers, bending the light before you see it. Since the hot and cold layers of air keep moving, the bending of the light changes too, which causes the star's appearance to wobble or twinkle.

What force is needed to accelerate a 1,000-kilogram car from a stop to 5 m/s/s?
solong [7]
That depends on how soon you want it to reach 5 m/s/s. Without friction, ANY force will accelerate the car, like a mosquito pushing on it, but a Space Shuttle booster will accelerate it at a greater rate.
