Net Force = mass * acceleration.
Therefore, Acceleration = Net force / mass
A=2000/500
A=4 m/s^2

what is the magnitude of the electric force between charges of 0.25 C and 0.11 C at a separation of 0.88 m? if the separation be

leonid [27]

$F = k \cdot \frac{q_1 q_2}{d} = 9 \cdot 10^{9} \cdot \frac{0.25 \cdot 0.11}{0.88} = 144 \cdot 5^{9} \ N.$

If the separation between the charges is increased then the magnitude of the force will increase in fact how the distance is being used in that formula.

three resistors which values of 15 ohm 40 ohm 60 ohm respectively are connected in parallel. what is their equivalent resistance

VashaNatasha [74]

1) Equivalent resistance, 1/R = 1/15 + 1/40 + 1/60 = 8+3+2 /120 = 13/120

R = 120/13 = 9.23

2) Current, I = V/R = 115/9.23 = 12.45 A

A catapult launches a test rocket vertically upward from a well, giving the rocket an initial speed of 80.0 m/s at ground level.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

There is an interval of 24.28s in which the rocket is above the ground.

Explanation:

$y_{i}=0m$

$v_i=80\frac{m}{s}$

$a=4\frac{m}{s^2}$

$y_{e}=1000m$

$g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$

From Kinematics, the position $y$ as a function of time when the engine still works will be:

$y(t)=v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

At what time the altitud will be $y_{e}=1000m$ ?

$v_it+\frac{1}{2}at^2=y_{e}$ ⇒ $\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_it-y_{e}=0$

Using the quadratic formula: $t_1=10s$ .

How much time does it take for the rocket to touch the ground? No the function of position is:

$y(t)=y_{e}+v_et-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Where our new initial position is $y_{max}$ , the velocity when the engine breaks is $v_e=v_i+at=120\frac{m}{s}$ and the only acceleration comes from gravity (which points down).

Now, when the rocket tounches the ground:

$y_{e}+v_et-\frac{1}{2}gt^2=0$

Again, using the quadratic ecuation:

$t_2=24.49s$

Now, the total time from the moment it takes off and the moment it tounches the ground will be:

$t_T=t_1+t_2=34.49s$ .

A 0.5 kg air-track car is attached to the end of a horizontal spring of constant k = 20 N/m. The car is displaced 15 cm from its

Dimas [21]

Find the amount of work that the spring does. This can be found using the equation 1/2kx^2. Then, you must set that equal to the amount of kinetic energy the car has. This is possible thanks to the work-energy theorem.

1/2kx^2 = 1/2mv^2

Solve to find velocity. Remember, the spring is displaced .15 m, not 15!

To find the acceleration, use F = ma. The force being applied to the car is kx, and you know the mass. You do the math.

For problem C I don't know, haven't done that yet in my class. Sorry!
