The net force acting on a 5 kg discus is 50 n. what is the acceleration of the discus

Physics
1 answer:
Lyrx [107]3 years ago

Answer: 10 m/s^2

Explanation:

1) The second law of Newton gives the definition and formula to calculate the net force:

Net force acting on an object = mass * acceleration.

2) From that, when you know the net force acting of the object and its mass, you can solve for the acceleration:

acceleration = Net force / mass

acceleration = 50 N / 5 kg = 10 m/s^2, which is the answer.

If you connected 10 of these 12V (10 W) lamps in parallel, to the 12V source, how much current would the source have to supply
Flauer [41]

Answer:

T=8.33A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of battery n=10

Voltage sourceE=12V

Lamp PowerP=10W

Generally the equation for Resistance is mathematically given by

 R=\frac{V^2}{P}

 R=\frac{12^2}{10}

 R=14.4ohms

Therefore

 R_{eq}=\frac{14.4}{10}

 R_{eq}=1.44

Generally the equation for Current is mathematically given by

 T=\ffrac{V}{Req}

 T=\frac{12}{1.44}

 T=8.33A

A student pulls horizontally on a 12 kg box, which then moves horizontally with an acceleration of 0.2 m/s^2. If the student use
polet [3.4K]
The net force of the object is equal to the force applied minus the force of friction. 
                         Fnet = ma = F - Ff
                           12 kg x 0.2 m/s² = 15 N - Ff
The value of Ff is 12.6 N. This force is equal to the product of the normal force which is equal to the weight in horizontal surface and the coefficient of friction.
                             Ff = 12.6 N = k(12 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
The value of k is equal to 0.107.

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The answer is "telescopes".

Explanation:

Throughout ancient times, astronomical observatories have indeed been available, and so many historical locations were reserved for astronomical observations. All contemporary astronomers lacked within those older telescopes were lenses until 1610. A telescope is indeed an instrument used to view far-off objects. Telescopes often are being used to look at planets and stars.

In a few sentences, compare and contrast pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors.
kondaur [170]
For pressurized water reactors the coolant is not permitted to boil in the core of the PRW, however the coolant in boiling water reactors is permitted to do so in the core of BWR. Pressurized water reactors have an indirect cycle. Whereas, the boiling water reactors go through a direct cycle. Both are light water reactors.
