To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to the Impulse-Momentum Theorem for which it is specified as the product between force and change in time

\Delta p = F\Delta t

And

\Delta p = m\Delta v

Where,

F = Force

\Delta t = \text{Change in Time}

\Delta v = \text{Change in velocity}

m = mass

Rearranging to find the Force we have that

F = \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

Using the expression between mass and velocity

F = \frac{m(v_f-v_i)}{\Delta t}

Our values are given as,

m = 50.2kg\\v_i = 0m/s \\v_f = 2.8m/s \\\Delta t = 20.1s

Then replacing we have that

F = 6.99N

Therefore the average force is 6.99N

An unstretched spring has a length of 10. centimeters. When the spring is stretched by a force of 16 newtons, its length is incr
Fed [463]

Answer:

The spring constant of this spring  is 200 N/m.

Explanation:

Given:

Original unstretched length of the spring (x₀) = 10 cm =0.10 m [1 cm =0.01 m]

Stretched length of the spring (x₁) = 18 cm = 0.18 cm

Force acting on the spring (F) = 16 N

Spring constant of the spring (k) = ?

First let us find the change in length of the spring or the elongation caused in the spring due to the applied force.

So, Change in length = Final length - Initial length

\Delta x = x_1-x_0=0.18-0.10=0.08\ m

Now, restoring force acting on the spring is directly related to its elongation or compression as:

F=k\Delta x

Rewriting in terms of 'k', we get:

k=\dfrac{F}{\Delta x}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'k'. This gives,

k=\frac{16\ N}{0.08\ m}\\\\k=200\ N/m

Therefore, the spring constant of this spring  is 200 N/m.

A student on an amusement park ride moves in circular path with a radius of 3.5 m once every 4.5 s. What is the tangential veloc
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

the tangential velocity of the student is 4.89 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

the radius of the circular path, r = 3.5 m

duration of the motion, t = 4.5 s

let the student's tangential velocity = v

The tangential velocity of the student is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{2\pi r}{t} \\\\v = \frac{2 \pi \times 3.5}{4.5} \\\\v = 4.89 \ m/s

Therefore, the tangential velocity of the student is 4.89 m/s.

It is easier to overcome load when the load is shifted towards the wheel in a wheelbarrow why ? give reason​
krok68 [10]

Answer:

The wheelbarrow's wheel and axle help the wheelbarrow to move without friction thus making it easier to push or pull. That's why it will be easier to lift a load in wheel barrow of the load is transferred towards the wheel.
