Answer:

(a) F = 1500 N.

(b) Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = 3.40

Explanation:

Force : This can be defined as the product of mass and the distance moved by a body. Its S.I unit is Newton. It can be represented mathematically as

F = Ma

Where F= force, M = mass (Kg) and a = Acceleration (m/s²)

Weight: This can be defined as the force on a body due to gravitation field. It is also measured in Newton (N). It can be represented mathematically as

W = Mg

Where W = weight of the body, M = mass of the body (Kg), g = Acceleration due to gravity.

(a)

F = Ma

Where M = 45kg,

a = unknown.

But we can look for acceleration Using one of the equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2gs

Where v= final velocity(m/s), u = initial velocity (m/s) g = 0 m/s, g = 9.8m/s² and s = height = 2.5m.

∴ v² = 2gs

 v = √2gs = √(2×9.8×2.5)

v= √49 = 7m/s

With the force applied, the impala’s velocity must increase from 0 m/s to 7 m/s in 0.21 second

∴ a = (v-u)/t

 a = (7-0)/0.21 = 7/0.21

  a = 33.33 m/s².

F = 45 × 33.33 ≈ 1500

F = 1500 N.

(b)

Where F = Force = 1500 N

and W = Weight = Mg = 45 × 9.8 = 441 N

∴Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = F/W = 1500/441 = 3.40

 Ratio force to the antelepe's weight = 3.40

7.Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system at nearly 11 times the size of Earth and 317 times its mass.

When we look at Jupiter, we're actually seeing the outermost layer of its clouds.

The Great Red Spot is a storm in Jupiter's southern hemisphere with crimson-colored clouds that spin counterclockwise at wind speeds

8. 58,232 km

The second largest planet in the solar system

Surface. As a gas giant, Saturn doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling gases and liquids deeper down.

Saturn's rings are thought to be pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons that broke up before they reached the planet,

9. Unlike the other planets of the solar system, Uranus is tilted so far that it essentially orbits the sun on its side, with the axis of its spin nearly pointing at the star.

Uranus' atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane and traces of water and ammonia.

As an ice giant, Uranus doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling fluids. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Uranus, it wouldn't be able to fly through its atmosphere unscathed either. The extreme pressures and temperatures would destroy a metal spacecraft.

10. 24,622 km

Neptune has an average temperature of -353 Fahrenheit (-214 Celsius).

Neptune's atmosphere is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium with just a little bit of methane.

To stretch a certain nonlinear spring by an amount x requires a force F given by F = 40 x − 6 x 2 , where F is in Newtons and x
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

64 J

Explanation:

The potential energy change of the spring ∆U = -W where W = work done by force, F.

Now W = ∫F.dx

So, ∆U = - ∫F.dx = - ∫Fdxcos180 (since the spring force and extension are in opposite directions)

∆U = - ∫-Fdx

=  ∫F.dx

Since F = 40x - 6x² and x moves from x = 0 to x = 2 m, we integrate thus, ∆U =  ∫₀²F.dx

=  ∫₀²(40x - 6x²).dx

=  ∫₀²(40xdx - 6x²dx)

=  ∫₀²(40x²/2 - 6x³/3)

=  ∫₀²(20x² - 2x³)

= [20x² - 2x³]₀²

= [(20(2)² - 2(2)³) - (20(0)² - 2(0)³)

= [(20(4) - 2(8)) - (0 - 0))

= [80 - 16 - 0]

= 64 J

Indicate the result of each of the following unit vector cross products (unit vector hat-symbols not shown): . kxi = . jxi= -jxk
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cross product of two vectors is given by

\overrightarrow{A}\times \overrightarrow{B}=\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |Sin\theta \widehat{n}

Where, θ be the angle between the two vectors and \widehat{n} be the unit vector along the direction of cross product of two vectors.

Here, K x i = - j

As K is the unit vector along Z axis, i is the unit vector along X axis and j be the unit vector along  axis.

The direction of cross product of two vectors is given by the right hand palm rule.

So, k x i = j

j x i = - k

- j x k = - i

i x i = 0

Compute the density in g/cm^3 of a piece of metal that had mass of 0.485 kg and a volume of 52cm^3
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

9.3 g/cm³

Explanation:

First, convert kg to g:

0.485 kg × (1000 g / kg) = 485 g

Density is mass divided by volume:

D = (485 g) / (52 cm³)

D = 9.33 g/cm³

Rounding to two significant figures, the density is 9.3 g/cm³.
