Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity where the object is)

You didn't tell us WHERE the boulder is, so I have to assume that it's on Mars, where the acceleration of gravity is 3.71 m/s².

675,000 N = (mass) (3.71 m/s²)

Mass = (675,000 N) / (3.71 m/s²)

<em>Mass = 181,941 kilograms</em>

The same weight on Earth would suggest a mass of only 68,807 kg, so you can see how important it is to know where you are when you make your measurements.

How must a fuse be connected in a circuit to prevent current from flowing when the circuit becomes ""overloaded""?

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The fuse must be connected between the device and the power intake source.

Explanation:

A fuse is a protective component of electrical appliances that is designed to be sensitive to a particular range of electric current

The fuse is made of a thing metal strip with a known melting point. Once current abive its carrying capacity flows through it, large heat is generated in the metal strip which melts it and causes the metal strip to cut int two protecting the device from the power spike.

What is the new acceleration (in m/s/s)?

Delicious77 [7]

The new acceleration is $108 m/s^2$

Explanation:

We can answer this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass of the object

a is its acceleration

The equation can be rewritten as

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

In this problem, the initial acceleration is

$a=18.0 m/s^2$

Later:

- The net force is tripled: $F'=3F$

- The mass is halved: $m'=\frac{m}{2}$

Therefore, the new acceleration is:

$a'=\frac{F'}{m'}=\frac{3F}{m/2}=6\frac{F}{m}=6a$

which means that the new acceleration is 6 times the original acceleration, therefore

$a'=6(18)=108 m/s^2$

A 0.300 kg block is pressed against a spring with a spring constant of 8050 N/m until the spring is compressed by 6.00 cm. When

natita [175]

Answer:

a) $\mu_{k} = 0.704$ , b) $R = 0.312\,m$

Explanation:

a) The minimum coeffcient of friction is computed by the following expression derived from the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2} = \mu_{k}\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \Delta s$

$\mu_{k} = \frac{k\cdot x^{2}}{2\cdot m\cdot g \cdot \Delta s}$

$\mu_{k} = \frac{\left(8050\,\frac{N}{m} \right)\cdot (0.06\,m)^{2}}{2\cdot (0.3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )\cdot (7\,m)}$

$\mu_{k} = 0.704$

b) The speed of the block is determined by using the Principle of Energy Conservation:

$\frac{1}{2}\cdot k \cdot x^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}$

$v = x\cdot \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

$v = (0.06\,m)\cdot \sqrt{\frac{8050\,\frac{N}{m} }{0.3\,kg} }$

$v \approx 9.829\,\frac{m}{s}$

The radius of the circular loop is:

$\Sigma F_{r} = -90\,N -(0.3\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} ) = -(0.3\,kg)\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}$

$\frac{\left(9.829\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}}{R} = 309.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

$R = 0.312\,m$

A train slows down from 34 m/s to 4 m/s in 60 seconds. what is it's acceleration?

OverLord2011 [107]

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

because the object is slowing down, the acceleration will be negative.

acceleration = (4-34) / 60
acceleration = -30 / 60
acceleration = -0.5 m/s^2

answer : the train is accelerating at -0.5 m/s^2
