                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

If the full 15N is pointing parallel to the ground,
then

                                   15 N  =  (58 kg) x (acceleration).

Divide each side
by  58 kg:                   Acceleration = 15 N / 58 kg

                                                         = (15 kg-m/s²) / (58 kg)

                                                         = (15/58) (kg-m/kg-s²)

                                                         =  0.26 m/s² .

Force = mass*acceleration
15 = 58 * x
x = 15 / 58
x = 0.26m/s²

Heidi (39 kg) is walking her tiny chihuahua, Chaxi (5.60 kg), on the sidewalk. To encourage Chaxi along, Heidi pulls forward wit
Ivan

Answer:

The correct reaction force in response to Heidi's action force is:

c. The friction is equal to 660 N since the beam is not accelerating.

Explanation:

Heidi's action force does not affect the beam.  Since friction resists the sliding or rolling of one solid object over another, there is no friction acting on the beam, in this respect.  The reaction force is what makes the dog to move because it acts on it.  According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, forces always come in action-reaction pairs.  This Third Law states that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.  This means that the dog exerts some force on Heidi, as he pulls it "forward with a force of 9.55 N."

g Suppose that you charge a 3 F capacitor in a circuit containing eight 3.0 V batteries, so the final potential difference acros
Vladimir79 [104]

The complex, highly technical formula for capacitors is

<em>Q = C V</em>

Charge = (capacitance) (voltage)

Charge = (3 F) (24 V)

<em>Charge = 72 Coulombs</em>

The positive plate of the capacitor is missing 72 coulombs worth of electrons.  They were sucked into positive terminal of the battery stack.

The negative plate of the capacitor has 72 coulombs worth of extra electrons.  They came from the negative terminal of the battery stack.

You should be aware that this is a humongous amount of charge !  An average <u><em>lightning bolt</em></u>, where electrons flow between a cloud and the ground for a short time, is estimated to transfer around <u><em>15 coulombs</em></u> of charge !

The scenario in the question involves a "supercapacitor".  3 F is is no ordinary component ... One distributor I checked lists one of these that's able to stand 24 volts on it, but that product costs $35 apiece, you have to order at least 100 of them at a time, and they take 2 weeks to get.  

Also, IF you can charge this animal to 24 volts, it will hold 864J of energy.  You'd probably have a hard time accomplishing this task with a bag of leftover AA batteries.

A 50kg meteorite moving at 1000 m/s strikes Earth. Assume the velocity is along the line joining Earth's center of mass and the
zysi [14]

As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg

                       The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s

When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.

We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.

The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -

                                       Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2

                                                             =\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2

                                                               =\frac{1}{2}50* 10^{6}\ J

                                                               =25*10^6\ J    

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.

Hence,\ the\ kinetic\ energy\ gained\ by\ earth\ is\ 25*10^6\ J
