Force = mass * acceleration
F = ma
Given m = 10 kg, F = 30 N;
F = ma
30 = 10a
Solving for a:
a = 3 m/s^2
The acceleration is 3 meters per second squared.
Answer:
t = 4.17 [s]
Explanation:
We know that work is defined as the product of force by distance.
W = F*d
where:
F = force [N] (units of Newtons)
d = distance = 6.34 x 10⁴ [mm] = 63.4 [m]
In order to find the force, we must determine the weight of the box, the weight can be determined by means of the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.
w = m*g
where:
m = mass = 1.47 x 10⁴ [g] = 14.7 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
w = 14.7*9.81
w = 144.2 [N]
Therefore the work can be calculated.
W = w*d
W = 144.2*63.4
W = 9142.72 [J] (units of Joules)
Power is now defined in physics as the relationship of work at a given time
P = W/t
where:
P = power = 2190 [W]
t = time [s]
Now clearing t, we have.
t = W/P
t = 9142.72/2190
t = 4.17 [s]
Initially, the velocity vector is
. At the same height, the x-value of the vector will be the same, and the y-value will be opposite (assuming no air resistance). Assuming perfect reflection off the ground, the velocity vector is the same. After 0.2 seconds at 9.8 seconds, the y-value has decreased by
, so the velocity is
.
Converting back to direction and magnitude, we get 
Answer:
16 km
Explanation:
Drawing a right triangle to model the problem helps. I started by drawing the lines of the triangle to model the hiker's journey- a vertical straight line for 11 km north and then a horizontal line connected to the top of it for 11 km east; I then drew the hypothenuse to connect the two lines.
The hypothenuse is what we have to solve for, so we will use the Pythagorean Theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Since both distances are 11 km both a and b in the equation are 11.
11^2 + 11^2 = c^2
121 + 121 = c^2
242 = c^2
c = 15.56
Rounding the answer makes it 16 km for the hiker's magnitude of displacement.
The process of <u>scientific method</u> involves making hypotheses , driving predictions from them as logical consequences , and then carrying out experiments or empirical observations based on those predictions. A hypotheses is a conjecture , based on knowledge obtained while seeking answers to the questions.
