The wind pushes a paper cub along the sand at a beach. The cup has a mass of 25 grams (= ? Kg's) and accelerates at a rate of 5

m/s/s. How much force (in Newtons) is the wind exerting on the cup

Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

= (0.025 kg) x (5 m/s²)

= 0.125 Newton

What are the effects of gravity on earth?

Sliva [168]

Answer:

Without it, we could not survive on Earth. Earth orbits the sun due to the gravity of the sun, which maintains us at a convenient distance from it to enjoy the sun's warmth and light. It keeps the air we need to breathe and our atmosphere in place. Our planet is held together by gravity.

whats an isotope? give the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in a neutral atom of each of the following isotopes, Carbo

melamori03 [73]

Isotopes refer to different atoms of the same element (i.e. same number of protons) that differ in the number of neutrons they have (giving them different atomic weights). Atomic weight is the sum of protons and neutrons (each contributes 1 atomic mass unit).

Carbon has 6 protons by definition. If you have a carbon-13 atom (the 13 referring to its mass), the atom has 13 - 6 = 7 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 6 electrons.

Sulfur has 16 protons by definition. If you have a sulfur-32 atom, the atom has 32 - 16 = 16 neutrons. Since it's neutral, protons = electrons, so there are also 16 electrons.

A car initially traveling at 17.1 mph comes to rest in 9.7s what was its acceleration in this time?

ra1l [238]

Answer:

$a=-.78m/s^2$

Explanation:

Δ $v=at$

Δ $v$ is the difference in velocity before and after a given time.
$a$ is the acceleration of the object during this time.
$t$ is time

$(v_f-v_i)=at$ is another way to write this equation.

The Δ symbol represents "the difference between the initial and final values of a magnitude or vector", so Δ $v=(v_f-v_i)$

$v_f-v_i=at\\\frac{at}{t}=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}\\a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

I rearranged this equation to solve for $a$ , but this is a step that you don't need to take, it's just good to get in the habit of doing this.
Plug in the given values. Note that our final velocity is $0$ , because the car travels until at <em>rest</em>.

$a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}\\a=\frac{(0)-[(17.1\frac{miles}{hour} )(\frac{hour}{3600s})(\frac{1609.34m}{mile})]}{9.7s}$

Our initial velocity is in mph, something not in standard units, so if not changed, you will get an incorrect answer. What you need to do is cancel out the units your prior value had using division and multiplication, and at the same time multiply and divide the correct numbers and units into your equation. Or look up a converter.

$a=\frac{(0)-[(17.1\frac{miles}{hour} )(\frac{hour}{3600s})(\frac{1609.34m}{mile})]}{9.7s}\\a=\frac{0m/s-7.6m/s}{9.7s} \\a=\frac{-7.6m/s}{9.7s}$

if you converted correctly, your answer for $v_f$ will be ≅ $7.6m/s$ .
Now divide. Notice that the units for acceleration are $m/s^2$ or <em>meters per second, per second</em>.

$a=\frac{-7.6m/s}{9.7s}\\a=-.78m/s^2$

Our final answer is <em>negative </em>because the car is <em>slowing down</em>. Do not square this answer as the square symbol only applies to the units, not the magnitude.

The magnitude of displacements a and b are 3m and 4m, respectively, c=a+b. What is the magnitude of c if the angel between a and

AysviL [449]

Answer:

(a) 7 m

(b) 1 m

Explanation:

Given:

The magnitude of displacement vector 'a' is 3 m

The magnitude of displacement vector 'b' is 4 m.

The vector 'c' is the vector sum of vectors 'a' and 'b'.

(a)

Now, when the angle between the vectors is 0°, it means that the vectors are in the same direction. When vectors are in the same direction, then their resultant magnitude is simply the sum of their magnitudes.

So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in same direction is given as:

$|\overrightarrow c|=|\overrightarrow a|+|\overrightarrow b|\\\\|\overrightarrow c|=3 + 4 = 7\ m$

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 7 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 0°.

(b)

When the angle between the vectors is 180°, it means that the vectors are exactly in the opposite direction. When the vectors are in opposite direction, then their resultant magnitude is the subtraction of their magnitudes.

So, magnitude of 'c' when 'a' and 'b' are in opposite direction is:

$|\overrightarrow c|=||\overrightarrow a|-|\overrightarrow b||\\\\|\overrightarrow c|=|3 - 4| = 1\ m$

Therefore, the magnitude of vector 'c' is 1 m when angle between 'a' and 'b' is 180°.
