A constant force is applied to an object, causing the object to accelerate at 10 m/s^2. What will the acceleration be if: a) The

force is halved? b) The object's mass is halved? c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?

What you need to know is that the force is

F=ma

The force is the product of mass and acceleration

this means that the acceleration is

a=F/m

a) The force is halved?
this means that f will be \frac{F}{2} now:

a=\frac{F}{2m}

So the accelaration will also he halved (it's the original acceleratation divided by 2)


 b) The object's mass is halved?
a=\frac{F}{m/2}=a=\frac{F2}{m}

which is the original acceleration times two!! so it will double


c) The force and the object's mass are both halved?
now we have

a=\frac{F/2}{m/2}=a=\frac{2F}{2m}=a=\frac{F}{m}

so they will cancel each other out and the acceleration will stay the same!

A mass m0 is attached to a spring and hung vertically. The mass is raised a short distance in the vertical direction and release
iragen [17]

Answer:

The frequency of the oscillations in terms of fo will be f2=fo/3

E xplanation:

T= 2pie\frac sqrt {m}{k}

 \frac {{f2}/times {fo}}=1:3

⇒f2=fo\3

Here frequency f is inversely poportional to square root of mass m.

so the value of remainder of frequency f2 and fo is equal to 1:3.

⇒\frac{f2} {f1} = \frac sqrt{m1}[m2}

⇒\frac{f2}{fo} = 1:3

⇒f2=\frac{fo} {3}

A car is traveling at 24.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down with constant accelerat
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The answer to your question is : vf = 15.18 m/s

Explanation:

Data

vo = 24 m/s

d = 120 m

vf = ? when d = 60.0 m

Formula

              vf² = vo²  + 2ad

For d =100m

            a = (vf² - vo²) / 2d

            a = (0 -24²) / 2(100)

            a = -576/200

             a = 2.88 m/s²

Now, when d = 60

        vf² = (24)² - 2(2.88)(60)

        vf² = 576 - 345.6

        vf² = 230.4

        vf = 15.18 m/s

If an object has a mass of 1417g and it is moved 47 meters in 90 seconds, how much power was used?
astraxan [27]

Mass of the object is given as

m = 1417 g = 1.417 kg

now the speed of object is given as

v = \frac{d}{t}

here we know that

d = 47 m

t = 90 s

now we will have

v = \frac{47}{90} = 0.52 m/s

now we will have kinetic energy of the object as

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

KE = \frac{1}{2}(1.417)(0.52)^2

KE = 0.19 J

now the power is defined as rate of energy

so here we can find power as

P = \frac{KE}{t}

P = \frac{0.19}{90} = 2.14\times 10^{-3} W

so above is the power used for the object

A steel rod is pulled in tension with a stress that is less than the yield strength. The modulus of elasticity may be calculated
pshichka [43]

Answer:

B. Axial stress divided by axial strain

Explanation:

Elasticity:

It is the tendency of an object to deform along the axis when an opposing force is applied without facing permanent change in shape.

Plasticity:

When an object crosses the elasticity limit, it enters plasticity where the change due to stress is permanent and the object might even break.

Yield strength:

Yield strength is the point of maximum bearable stress that indicates the limit of elasticity.

Our case:

As the stress applied is less than the yield strength, the rod is still in the elasticity state and its modulus can be calculated.

Modulus of Elasticity = Stress along axis/Ratio of change in length to original length

Axial strain is basically the ratio of change in length to original length.

So, Modulus of Elasticity = Axial Stress/ Axial Strain
