A car has a mass of 1000 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s2. What net force is exerted on the car?

prisoha [69]

Answer:

1000N

Explanation:

Based on force=mass*acceleration, if the acceleration is constant at 2 metres per second squared, 1,000kg*2m/s^2=2,000N of force.

If the acceleration steadily increases to 2m/s^2 in 20 seconds, take the average which is 1m/s^2 therefore force=1,000N

A uniform, 4.5 kg, square, solid wooden gate 2.0 mm on each side hangs vertically from a frictionless pivot at the center of its

True [87]

Answer:

The angular velocity is $w = 1.43\ rad/sec$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of wooden gate is $m_g = 4.5 kg$

The length of side is L = 2 m

The mass of the raven is $m_r = 1.2 kg$

The initial speed of the raven is $u_r = 5.0m/s$

The final speed of the raven is $v_r = 1.5 m/s$

From the law of conservation of angular momentum we express this question mathematically as

Total initial angular momentum of both the Raven and the Gate = The Final angular momentum of both the Raven and the Gate

The initial angular momentum of the Raven is $m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}$

Note: the length is half because the Raven hit the gate at the mid point

The initial angular momentum of the Gate is zero

Note: This above is the generally formula for angular momentum of square objects

The final angular velocity of the Raven is $m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2}$

The final angular velocity of the Gate is $\frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w$

Substituting this formula

$m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w + m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2}$

$\frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w = m_r * v_r * \frac{L}{2} - m_r * u_r * \frac{L}{2}$

$\frac{1}{3} m_g L^2 w = m_r * \frac{L}{2} * [u_r - v_r]$

Where $w$ is the angular velocity

Substituting value

$\frac{1}{3} (4.5)(2)^2 w = 1.2 * \frac{2}{2} * [5 - 1.5]$

$6w = 4.2$

$w = \frac{6}{4.2}$

$w = 1.43\ rad/sec$

Why are some forces considered to be noncontact forces? A. Objects must be far apart in order to exert a force. B. Objects do no

kompoz [17]

Answer:

B. Objects do not have to touch each other to experience a force.

Explanation:

For example ..One of the noncontact forces is magnetic force whereby a magnetic object will be attracted to another magnetic object of oppsite charged particles, through waves called electromagnetic waves. On the other hand, the two magnetic objects of similar charged particles can repel through electromagnetic waves..

A box that has a weight of 40 N is hung from a spring. The spring constant of the spring is 400 N/m. How many centimeters will t

Andrej [43]

The mathematical relationship between force and extension for a spring is F = -kx , where F is the restoring force, k is the spring constant and x is the extension. If a box that weighs 40 N is hung from a spring of content 400 N/m, then the extension is equal to x = -F / k = -400 / 40 = -10 cm. The negative sign simply shows the extension and restoring force are in opposite directions. The answer is 10 cm.
