Answer:The mass of an object is 52 kg.

Explanation:

Gravitational force on the object ,F=510 N

Acceleration due to gravity = g = $9.8 m/s^2$

Mass of the object = m

Force = mass × acceleration

$510 N=m\times 9.8 m/s^2$

$m=52.04 kg\approx 52 kg$

The mass of an object is 52 kg.

Answer

52.0 kg

The force is due to gravity is given by:

Force = Mass × gravity

Let the acceleration due to gravity(g) on the surface of the earth to be 9.8 m/s²

510 N = m × 9.8

9.8m = 510

m = 510/9.8

= 52.04 Kg

What is the horse power of an electric motor which can do by 1250 joule of work in 5 seconds

Ksju [112]

1250 J in 5 sec= 250 Joule(s) per second (1250/5 0

250 Joules per second = 250 Watts ( 1J/s = 1 Watt per definition)

250 Watts output = 250/0.65 efficiency = 384 Watts input

1 Horsepower = 732 Watts

Motors 1 Horsepower and under are made in certain step sizes like

3/4 , 1/2 , 1/3, 1/4, 1/16 1/20 of a Horsepower.

3/4 Horsepower is 549 Watts

1/2 Horsepower is 366 Watts

so you need to 3/4 horsepower motor to achieve 1250 J of work in 5 seconds.

The distance between two particles is 2 centimeters. If the distance is increased to 4 centimeters, the force will be ?

postnew [5]

Answer:

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.

Explanation:

Given

$Initial\ Distance = 2cm$ ---- $r_1$

$New\ Distance = 4cm$ --- $r_2$

Required

Determine the new force

Let the two particles be q1 and q2.

The initial force F1 is:

$F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2}$ --- Coulomb's law

Substitute 2 for r1

$F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{2^2}$

$F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}$

The new force (F2) is

$F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2^2}$

Substitute 4 for r2

$F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4^2}$

$F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4*4}$

$F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*\frac{kq_1q_2}{4}$

Substitute $F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}$

$F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*F_1$

$F_2 = \frac{F_1}{4}$

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.

A mass is attached to a spring with an unknown spring constant. The spring gains 10 J of elastic potential energy if stretched b

Firlakuza [10]

From the given information in the question, the correct option is Option 1: 14 cm.

A non-stretched elastic spring has a conserved potential energy which gives it the ability to perform work. The elastic potential energy can be expressed as:

PE = $\frac{1}{2}$ k $x^{2}$
