If you use the same force on a less massive object what happens to the acceleration

Acceleration = Force/Mass

If F= 20N , M = 10KG , then A will be 2m/s^2

Now, if we use Same 20N force on 5kg mass, ,Then A will be 4m/s^2.
Therefore Acceleration will increase if u use same for on less massive objects

At a wedding reception, you notice a child who looks like their mass is about 25 kg running across the dance floor then sliding

Vitek1552 [10]

Mass of the object m = 25 kg

Coefficient of friction Uk = 0.15

Frictional force Ff = Uk x F => Ff = Uk x m x g

Ff = 0.15 x 25 x 9.8

Frictional Force Ff = 36.75 N

I need to choose a theme for my physics assignment My experiment is finding g

Kobotan [32]

<h3>Question:</h3>

How to find g (acceleration due to gravity)

<h3>Solution:</h3>

We know,

Acceleration due to gravity (g)

$= \frac{GM}{ {R}^{2} }$

where, G = Gravitational constant

$= 6.67 \times {10}^{11} N {m}^{2}/k {g}^{2} \\$

M = Mass of the earth

$= 6 \times {10}^{24} \: kg$

R = Radius of the earth

$= 6.4 \times {10}^{6} m$

Putting these values of G, M and R in the above formula, we get

$g \: = \: \frac{6.67 \times {10}^{11} N {m}^{2}/k {g}^{2} \times \: 6 \times {10}^{24} \: kg }{(6.4 \times {10}^{6}m {)}^{2} } \\ = 9.8m/ {s}^{2}$

So, the value of acceleration due to gravity is

$9.8m/s ^{2}$

Hope it helps.

A 1.5kg cart moves along a track at 0.20m/s until it hits a fixed bumper at the end of the track. Find the average force exerted

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Net force will be 4.875 N

Explanation:

We have given mass of the cart m = 1.5 kg

Initial velocity of the cart = 0.2 m/sec

And final velocity of the car = - 0.125 m/sec ( Negative direction is due to opposite direction )

Instant of time $\Delta t=0.1sec$

Change in momentum is given by

$\Delta P=1.5\times (0.2-(-0.125))=1.5\times 0.325=0.4875kgm/sec$

Now force is given by

$F=\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}=\frac{0.4875}{0.1}=4.875N$

Net force will be 4.875 N

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 3.0 km/h

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 10 sec

Speed = 3.0 km/h

Speed of second tugboat = 11 km/h

We need to calculate the speed

$v_{1}=\dfrac{3.0\times10^{3}}{3600}$

$v_{1}=0.833\ m/s$

The force F₁is constant acceleration is also a constant.

$F_{1}=ma_{1}$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

$a_{1}=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a_{1}=\dfrac{0.833}{10}$

$a_{1}=0.083\ m/s^2$

Similarly,

$F_{2}=ma_{2}$

For total force,

$F_{3}=F_{2}+F_{1}$

$ma_{3}=ma_{2}+ma_{1}$

The speed of second tugboat is

$v=\dfrac{11\times10^{3}}{3600}$

$v=3.05\ m/s$

We need to calculate total acceleration

$a_{3}=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a_{3}=\dfrac{3.05}{10}$

$a_{3}=0.305\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the acceleration a₂

$0.305=a_{2}+0.083$

$a_{2}=0.305-0.083$

$a_{2}=0.222\ m/s^2$

We need to calculate the factor of F₁ and F₂

Dividing force F₁ by F₂

$\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=\dfrac{m\times0.83}{m\times0.22}$

$\dfrac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=3.7$

$F_{1}=3.7F_{2}$

Hence, The magnitude of F₁ is 3.7 times of F₂
