Answer:

F = 3600 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of force must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 2000 [kg]

a = acceleration = 1.8 [m/s^2]

Now replacing:

F = 2000*1.8

F = 3600 [N]

If the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal, then the potential energy increases. What happens as a result?
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The Kinetic Energy decreases. The Total Energy stays the same

Explanation:

The TE stays the same, so if PE increases then KE will decrease.

Richard is driving home to visit his parents. 150 mi of the trip are on the interstate highway where the speed limit is 65 mph .
Serggg [28]

Answer:

t = 25.5 min

Explanation:

To know how many minutes does Richard save, you first calculate the time that Richard takes with both velocities v1 = 65mph and v2 = 80mph.

t_1=\frac{x}{v_1}=\frac{150mi}{65mph}=2.30h\\\\t_2=\frac{x}{v_2}=\frac{150mi}{80mph}=1.875h

Next, you calculate the difference between both times t1 and t2:

\Delta t=t_1-t_2=2.30h-1.875h=0.425h

This is the time that Richard saves when he drives with a speed of 80mph. Finally, you convert the result to minutes:

0.425h*\frac{60min}{1h}=25.5min=25\ min\ \ 30 s

hence, Richard saves 25.5 min (25 min and 30 s) when he drives with a speed of 80mph

puteri [66]

Answer:

pressure in liquids is given as:

P= hpg

where h is the depth

where p is the density

where g is 10

Explanation:

From the formula above

p = 10 X 1000 X 10

p = 100000N/m

A moderate force will break an egg. However, an egg droppedon the road usually breaks while one dropped on the grass usuallydoes
Fed [463]

Answer:

C. the time interval for stopping is greater.

Explanation:

As the egg falls onto the grass, it takes a a greater amount of time for it to stop, and thus the force that is being applied to it is in increments; there is never enough force applied on the egg for it to break. That's why the egg doesn't break when it lands on the grass.

In contrast, when the egg is dropped on the road, <em>all of the force that is being applied by the road on the egg is in the tiny interval when the egg touches the road</em>, That force is large enough to break the egg because it is being applied in a tiny amount of time. That's why the egg dropped on the road breaks.

<em>So here is the rule of thumb: if you don't want to break your things but still want to drop them, drop them such that it takes  some for them to stop—because force will applied to them gradually. </em>
