Answer:

It is an SI unit

Explanation:

The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1299 792 458 of a second. The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole

A man pushed a cabinet with a force of 200N. What is the mass of the cabinet that accelerates 4 m/s/s?

ELEN [110]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 50 \ kg}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a cabinet, given the force and acceleration. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration. The formula for this is:

$F= m \times a$

The force is 200 Newtons, but we should convert the units to make unit cancellation easier. 1 Newton is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared, so the force of 200 Newtons is 200 kilogram meters per second squared.

The mass is unknown and the acceleration is 4 meters per second per second or 4 meters per second squared.

F= 200 kg*m/s²
a= 4 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

$200 \ kg *m/s^2 = m \times 4 \ m/s^2$

We are solving for the mass, m, so we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 4 meters per second squared. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4 m/s²

$\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}= \frac{m \times 4\ m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}$

$\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2} =m$

The units of meters per second squared cancel.

$\frac {200 \ kg }{4 }=m$

$50 \ kg =m$

The mass of the cabinet is <u>50 kilograms.</u>

You are out running and the first mile takes you 10 minutes. The second mile takes you 20 minutes. This is an example of

cupoosta [38]

If Equal distance is traveled in equal interval of time then it is known as uniform motion in which velocity of object will remain same.

Then if distance covered will be same and the time taken to cover same distance is decreasing then it shows that speed is increasing with time due to which it took less time to cover same distance. This is also known as positive acceleration.

Now if the distance covered will be same and time taken to cover same distance is increasing then it shows that speed is decreasing with time due to which it took more time to cover the same distance. This is also known as negative acceleration.

Now in the above case it is given that the first mile takes you 10 minutes. The second mile takes you 20 minutes. So the time taken is increasing while we cover same distance so this is an example of <u>Negative Acceleration</u>
