An example of an action and reaction is sitting on a chair. Your body pushes down on the chair because of the force of what?

1 answer:

8 0

Your body is pushing down on a chair because it is being attracted by gravity, the reason that your body is not moving down because there is a normal force acting on your body; together the net force of weight (m*g) and normal force is equal to zero

A 2500‐kg vehicle traveling at 25 m/s can be stopped by gently applying the breaks for 20 seconds. What is the average force sup

katen-ka-za [31]

Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

Change in momentum = (force) x (time)

The initial momentum is (mass) x (speed) = 2500x 25 = 62,500 kg-m/s.

Since you want to stop the vehicle, that number is also the required change
in momentum ... you want the vehicle to wind up with zero momentum.

62,500 = (force) x (time) = 20 x force

Divide each side by 20 :

force = 62,500 / 20 = 3,125 newtons

A bike is traveling to the left with the speed of 27 m/s when the rider slams on the brakes. The bike skids for 41.5 m with the

Darina [25.2K]

The acceleration of the bike is equal to $8.78\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ opposing the movement (to the right).

Why?

Since after the rider slams the brakes, the bike came to a stop, we know that the acceleration is opposite to the velocity/movement.

We can use the following equation to calculate the acceleration:

$v_{f}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2*a*d$

So, substituting, we have: (let's consider negative to the left and positive to the right)

$0=(-27\frac{m}{s} )^{2}+2*a*41.5m\\\\0=729\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }+83*a\\\\a=\frac{-729\frac{m^{2}}{s^{2}}}{83m}=-8.78\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The negative sign means that the acceleration's direction is opposite to the movement.

Hence, we have that the acceleration is equal to $8.78\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ opposing the movement (to the right).

Have a nice day!
