Force = mass x acceleration. What is the correct unit of force?

Physics

The only thing in that messy list of choices that can be a unit of force is the <em>Newton.</em>

But this is not to say that choice-A is entirely correct ... "kgm/second/second" is pretty meaningless, and is NOT the same thing as a Newton.

1 Newton = 1 kgm-<u><em>meter</em></u>/second/second

choice-B . . . . . unit of speed

choice-C . . . . . rate of change of mass; no name

choice-D . . . . . unit of acceleration

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

1270.64\ \text{J}

Explanation:

m = Mass of object = \dfrac{mg}{g}

mg = Weight of object = 20 N

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

v = Final velocity = 15 m/s

u = Initial velocity = 0

d = Distance moved by the object = 150 m

\theta = Angle of slope = 30^{\circ}

f = Force of friction

fd = Work done against friction

The force balance of the system is

\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)=(mg\sin\theta-f)d\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mg\sin\theta d-fd\\\Rightarrow fd=mg\sin\theta d-\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow fd=20\times \sin 30^{\circ}\times 150-\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{9.81}\times 15^2\\\Rightarrow fd=1270.64\ \text{J}

The work done against friction is 1270.64\ \text{J}.

What is the direction of the normal contact force of the road on the wheels?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The direction of the contact forces acting on a body is not necessarily perpendicular to the contact surface. The resolution of contact forces in two components i.e. perpendicular to contact surface and along surface. Perpendicular component is normal force and parallel component is friction.

You carry a 20 n bag of dog food up a 6 m flight of stairs. how much work was done?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

No work was done because it is not hard to carry a ####### bag of dog food up the stairs.

Explanation:

The FitnessGram Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible.
