A 5kg block is pulled across a table by a horizontal force of 40 N with a frictional force of 8 N opposing the motion. Draw a fo

rce diagram and determine the net force. Then calculate the acceleration of the object.

Answer:

Net force on the block is 32 N.

Acceleration of the object is 6.4 m/s².

Explanation:

Let the acceleration of the object be a m/s².

Given:

Mass of the block is, m=5\ kg

Force of pull is, F=40\ N

Frictional force on the block is, f=8\ N

The free body diagram of the object is shown below.

From the figure, the net force in the forward direction is given as:

F_{net}=F-f=40-8=32\ N

Now, from Newton's second law of motion, net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,

F_{net}=ma\\32=5a\\a=\frac{32}{5}=6.4\ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the object in the forward direction is 6.4 m/s².

A factory line moves parts for an automobile at a constant speed of 0.22 m/s. How long does it take the parts to move 8.5 m alon
OleMash [197]

Answer: C. 39 s

Explanation:

We know the constant speed is 0.22 m/s. We have to get to 8.5 m. We divide <u>8.5 m by 0.22</u> = 38.6. After we estimate, 6 is greater than 5, so 39 s.

A shopping cart given an initial velocity of 2.0 m/s undergoes a constant acceleration to a velocity of 13 m/s. What is the magn
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The acceleration is a = 2.75 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must use kinematics equations.

v_{f} = v_{i} + a*t\\

where:

Vf = final velocity = 13 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 2 [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time = 4 [s]

Now replacing:

13 = 2 + (4*a)

(13 - 2) = 4*a

a = 2.75 [m/s^2]

A stone is dropped from a height of 49m and simultaneously another ball is thrown upward from the ground with a speed of 40m/s.
Lilit [14]

Answer:

S1 = 1/2 g t^2     distance stone falls in time t

S2 = Vy t - 1/2 g t^2   distance thrown stone rises in time t

H = 49 = S1 + S2 = Vy t

t = 49 / 40 sec   time when stones meet

Check:

Stone 1 falls:      1/2 g t^2 = 1/2 * 9.8 * (49 / 40)^2 = 7.35 m

Stone 2 rises :  40 * (49 / 40) - 1/2 * 9.8 (49 / 40)^2 = 41.65 m
