A 0.171-kilogram hockey puck is struck by a hockey stick. If the force from the hockey stick is 30.2 Newtons, but the puck also

experiences a force of friction of 3.5 Newtons at the same time, what is the acceleration of the puck?

Answer:

a = 156.14 m/s^2

Explanation:

Using the laws of newton:

∑F = ma  

where ∑F is the sumatory of forces, m the mass and a the aceleration.

so:

F -f_k = ma

where F is the force from the hockey stick and f_k is the force of friction.

Replacing values, we get:

(30.2N) - (3.5N)= (0.171kg)a

Finally, solving for a:

a = 156.14 m/s^2

How are light years used to measure distances in the universe
FinnZ [79.3K]
A light year is a unit of distance. It is a distance that light can travel in a years time which is six trillion miles. It is used to measure the distances in space. To take one example, the distance to the next nearest big galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, from earth is 21,000,000,000,000,000,000 km.

You know your mass is 62 kg but when you stand on a bathroom scale in an elevator it says your mass is 77 kg what is the acceler
lbvjy [14]
In a stationary situation, the weight of person is
W=mg=(62 kg)(9.81 m/s^2) = 608.2 N
This is the weight "felt" by the scale, which is basically the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which uses the value of g (9.81) as reference to convert the weight (602.8 N) into a mass (62 kg).

When the person is in the elevator, the scale says 77 kg. The scale is still using the same value of conversion (9.81), so the apparent weight "felt" by the scale is
W' = m'g=(77 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=755.4 N
This is the normal reaction applied by the scale on the person, and which is directed upward. Besides this force, there is still the weight W of the person, acting downward. So, if we use Newton's second law:
\sum F = ma
W-W'=ma
where a is the acceleration of the elevator. If we solve for a, we find
a= \frac{W-W'}{m}= \frac{608.2N-755.4N}{62 kg}=-2.37 m/s^2
The negative sign means the acceleration is in the opposite direction of g (which we take positive), so it means the elevator is going upward.
