Suppose you give a 10 Newton push to Ryan on skis (he weighs 50 kg), how much will he accelerate?

Talja [164]2 years ago
3 0

Well we can just use F=ma. The force is 10N, the mass is 50 kg, solve for a. Well since we kg and N, no conversion is necessary. So just plugging in the numbers, we get

10N = 50 kg · a

\frac{10N}{50kg}=a

A newton is just \frac{kg·m}{s^{2}}

a=\frac{\frac{10kg·m}{s^{2}}}{50kg}

The s^2 and 50 kg you multiply

a=\frac{10kg·m}{50kg·s^{2}}

The kg's cancel and 10/50 is 1/5

\frac{1}{5}·\frac{m}{s^{2}}

So the acceleration is 1/5 m/s^2

On the planet Xenophous a 1.00 m long pendulum on a clock has a period of 1.32 s. What is the free fall acceleration on Xenophou
Vilka [71]
The period of the pendulum is given by the following equation

T = 2π * sqrt (L/g)

Where g is the gravity (free fall acceleration)

L is the longitude of the pendulum

T is the period.

We find g.............> (T /2π)^2 = L/g

g = L/(T /2π)^2...........> g = 22.657 m/s^2

What is the function of a capacitor in an electric circuit
topjm [15]
Capacitors function is to store up electricity and release it when the current is flowing. When there is no current, Capacitors still have electricity stored in them and can be discharged accidentally if something conductive touches them.

A particle moves along the x axis. It is initially at the position 0.180 m, moving with velocity 0.060 m/s and acceleration -0.3
shusha [124]

Answer:

a

  x_2 = -2.3356

b

 v = -1.384 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The initial position of the particle is  x_1 = 0.180 \ m

  The initial  velocity of the particle is  u = 0.060  \  m/s

  The acceleration is   a = -0.380 \  m/s^2

   The time duration is  t = 3.80  \ s

Generally from kinematic equation

    v = u + at

=>  v = 0.060 + (-0.380 * 3.80)

=>  v = -1.384 \ m/s

Generally from kinematic equation

   v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Here s is the distance covered by the particle, so

   (-1.384)^2 = (0.060)^2 + 2(-0.380)* s

=>  s = -2.5156 \ m

Generally the final position of the particle is  

    x_2 = x_1 + s

=>   x_2 = 0.180 + (-2.5156)

=>   x_2 = -2.3356

How are the 3 steps of scientific inquiry related
DIA [1.3K]
The first three steps in scientific inquiry are related in that they are all equivalent to being on a fact finding mission. The three steps are to find or develop the question that must be answered, to study all related academic literature on the subject, and then to make a guess as to what the answer is.
