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

Talja [164]3 years ago

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

A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity i = (4.00 + 1.00 ) m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to
ryzh [129]

Answer:

a. The horizontal component of acceleration a₁ = 0.68 m/s²

The vertical component of acceleration a₂ = -0.11 m/s²

b. -9.19° = 350.81° from the the positive x-axis

Explanation:

The initial velocity v₁ of the fish is v₁ = 4.00i + 1.00j m/s. Its final velocity after accelerating for t = 19.0 s is v₂ =  17.0i - 1.00j m/s

a. The acceleration a = (v₂ - v₁)/t = [17.0i - 1.00j - (4.00i + 1.00j)]/19 = [(17.0 -4.0)i - (-1.0 -1.0)j]/19 = (13.0i - 2.0j)/19 = 0.68i - 0.11j m/s²

The horizontal component of acceleration a₁ = 0.68 m/s²

The vertical component of acceleration a₂ = -0.11 m/s²

b. The direction of the acceleration relative to the unit vector i,

tanθ = a₂/a₁ = -0.11/0.68 = -0.1618

θ = tan⁻¹(-0.1618) = -9.19° ⇒ 360 + (-9.19) = 350.81° from the the positive x-axis

What happens to the saturation for when adding salt to water at room temperature
saw5 [17]
Saturated and Unsaturated Solutions
Table salt (NaCl) readily dissolves in water. Suppose that you have a beaker of water to which you add some salt, stirring until it dissolves. So you add more and that dissolves. You keep adding more and more salt, eventually reaching a point that no more of the salt will dissolve no matter how long or how vigorously you stir it. Why? On the molecular level, we know that action of the water causes the individual ions to break apart from the salt crystal and enter the solution, where they remain hydrated by water molecules. What also happens is that some of the dissolved ions collide back again with the crystal and remain there. Recrystallization is the process of dissolved solute returning to the solid state. At some point the rate at which the solid salt is dissolving becomes equal to the rate at which the dissolved solute is recrystallizing. When that point is reached, the total amount of dissolved salt remains unchanged. Solution equilibrium is the physical state described by the opposing processes of dissolution and recrystallization occurring at the same rate.
While this shows the change of state back and forth between solid and aqueous solution, the preferred equation also shows the dissociation that occurs as an ionic solid dissolves.



When the solution equilibrium point is reached and no more solute will dissolve, the solution is said to be saturated. A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved. At 20°C, the maximum amount of NaCl that will dissolve in 100. g of water is 36.0 g. If any more NaCl is added past that point, it will not dissolve because the solution is saturated. What if more water is added to the solution instead? Now more NaCl would be capable of dissolving in the additional solvent. An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less than the maximum amount of solute that is capable of being dissolved.

When 30.0 g of NaCl is added to 100 ml of water, it all dissolves, forming an unsaturated solution. When 40.0 g is added, 36.0 g dissolves and 4.0 g remains undissolved, forming a saturated solution.

How can you tell if a solution is saturated or unsaturated? If more solute is added and it does not dissolve, then the original solution was saturated. If the added solute dissolves, then the original solution was unsaturated. A solution that has been allowed to reach equilibrium but which has extra undissolved solute at the bottom of the container must be saturated.

A 25 newton force applied on an object moves it 50 meters. The angle between the force and displacement is 40.0 degrees. What is
zvonat [6]
Work done is when a force is exerted to cause a displacement in a certain object. 
the equation for work done ;
work done = force applied * displacement of the object 
when the force applied is not in the same direction as that of the displacement of the object then the effect of the force is not its whole value. The force is then applied at an angle to that of the displacement of the object, then the resultant force is the force exerted* cos of the angle between force and displacement, in this instance the angle is 40 °.
the new equation is then;
work done = force cos 40° * displacement
after substitution,
work = 25 N * 0.76 * 50 m
         = 957.55 J
round it off
         = 9.6 *10² J
the correct answer is B
