<u>Answer:</u> The weight of the car is 5390 N

Explanation:

Weight is defined as the force exerted by the body on any surface. It is also defined as the product of mass of the body multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity.

Mathematically,

$W=mg$

where,

W = weight of the car

m = mass of the car = 550 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity on Earth = $9.8m/s^2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$W=550kg\times 9.8m/s^2=5390N$

Hence, the weight of the car is 5390 N

Answer:

1250 J

Explanation:

Work is said to be done when a force causes an object to move over a distance. The amount of work done (W) is calculated by multiplying the force by the distance traveled.

That is;

W = F × d

Where;

W = work done (J or N/m)

F = force (N)

d = distance (m)

Based on the information provided in this question, F = 5000N, d = 0.25m

Hence;

W = F × d

W = 5000 × 0.25

W = 1250J

Therefore, 1250Joules of work is done by the jack.

if we ignore air resistance the mass of an object does not affect the rate at which it accelerate why?

quester [9]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity on an object is independent of the mass of the object. This is so because, the acceleration due to gravity depends only on the radius of the earth and the mass of the earth.

As a result of this, all objects are accelerated to the same extent and should reach the ground at the same time when released from a height as long as other forces other than gravity are not at work.

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

Force on each hand is 196.22 N

Force on each foot is 95.8 N

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding of this question let us explain some concepts

Normal Force:

We can define normal force Fn as that type of force which makes a 90 degree angle with the surface on which it is exerted.

Torque:

We can define torque as the moment of forces that tends to produce or cause rotation

From the question we are given that

Weight of body is (W) = 584 N

The normal force on both hands (Ha) = ?

The normal force on both legs (Lg) = ?

Looking at the diagram the person is at equilibrium so

584 = Ha + Lg

an also this mean that torques acting on the body is balanced

So, 0.410 Ha = 0.840 Lg

Making Lg the subject of formula in the equation above we

Lg = 0.4881 Ha

Considering the first equation and replacing Lg with this recent equation we have

584 = Ha + 0.4881 Ha

Therefore Ha = 392.44 N

This value obtained is for both hands for each hand we divide by 2

Therefore we have for each hand $= 392.44/2$ =196.55 N

Since we have been able to get the force on both hands we can substitute it in to the equation where we made Lg the subject of formula and we have

Lg = 0.4881 × 392.44

= 191.22 N

The value above is the force on both legs to obtain the force on each leg we have

191.22/2 = 95.8 N.
