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

In the example given below, Aaron applies a force of 300N and Bob applies a force of 450N :
garri49 [273]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem is all about torque. The "rules" are that in order for a system to be in rotational equilibrium, the sum of the torques on the system have to equal 0 (in other words, they have to equal each other {cancel each other out}). The equation for torque is

τ = F⊥r where τ is torque, F⊥ is the perpendicular force, and r is the lever arm length in meters. We also have to understand that in general Forces moving clockwise are negative and Forces moving counterclockwise are positive. Now we're ready for the problem:

A. The counterclockwise torque:

τ = 300(3) so

τ = 900N*m

B. The clockwise torque:

τ = -450(2.5) so

τ = -1100N*m

C. Obviously the system is not in roational equilibrium because one side is experiencing a greater torque than the other. This system will move clockwise as it currently exists.

D. In order for the system to be in rotational equilibrium, we have to move Bob's location from the fulcrum. Let's see to where.

The torques have to be the same on both sides of the fulcrum; mathematically, that looks like this:

F⊥r = F⊥r  Filling in:

300(3) = 450r and

900 = 450r so

2 = r. This means that Bob will have to move closer to the fulcrum by a half of a meter to 2 meters from the fulcrum in order for the system to be in balance.

Isn't this so much fun?!

Answer:

acceleration = 22.14 m/s²

time = 2.80 s

Explanation:

given data

initial velocity = 31.0

final velocity =

time = 1.40

solution

we get here acceleration that is

acceleration = \frac{v(final) - v(initial)}{t}   ...............1

acceleration = \frac{31-0}{1.40}  

acceleration = 22.14 m/s²

and

by kinematic equation of motion

v = u +at .........2

t = \frac{62-0}{22.14}  

time = 2.80 s

(a) Calculate the total force of the atmosphere acting on the top of a table that measures 1.5 m 2.2 m.
frozen [14]
A)
Atmospheric pressure is 101325 Pa.
Pressure = Force / Area
Area of table = 1.5 x 2.2
= 3.3 m²
Force = 101325 x 3.3
= 334 kN

B)
According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Thus, the upward force is equal to the force acting downward on the table and is being balanced. The force is 334 kN in the upward direction.
