1.5m/s2

F=ma

a=F/m

a=60/40

a=1.5m/s2

A force of 80 N is exerted on an object on a frictionless surface for a distance of 4 meters. If the object has a mass of 10 kg,

solmaris [256]

There are two ways to find energy. Energy=F*d=mv^2. We can use this relationship to find v:
$Fd=0.5mv^{2} \\ 80*4=0.5*10v^{2} \\ 64=v^{2} \\ v=8 m/s$

S A block of mass M is connected to a spring of mass m and oscillates in simple harmonic motion on a frictionless, horizontal tr

Elina [12.6K]

The period of oscillation is T = 2 * pi * sqrt ( ( m2/3 + m1) / k )

<h3>What is period of oscillation?</h3>

This is the time in seconds it takes to complete one oscillation. where an oscillation is a repetitive to and fro motion. period if the inverse of frequency and both are basic when calculation motion in simple harmonic motion.

The period of oscillation is given as T

T = 2 * pi * sqrt ( m / k )

where

m = mass on this case mass of the spring will be inclusive to the mass of the block such that we have:

m1 = mass of the block

m2 = mass pf the spring

k = force constant of the spring

including the two masses to the period gives

T = 2 * pi * sqrt ( ( m2/3 + m1) / k )

A 77.0−kg short-track ice skater is racing at a speed of 12.6 m/s when he falls down and slides across the ice into a padded wal

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

-6112.26 J

Explanation:

The initial kinetic energy, $KE_i$ is given by

$KE_i=0.5mv_1^{2$ } where m is the mass of a body and $v_i$ is the initial velocity

The final kinetic energy, $KE_f$ is given by

$KE_f=0.5mv_f^{2}$ where $v_f$ is the final velocity

Change in kinetic energy, $\triangle KE$ is given by

$\triangle KE=KE_f-KE_i=0.5mv_f^{2}-0.5mv_1^{2}=0.5m(v_f^{2}-v_i^{2})$

Since the skater finally comes to rest, the final velocity is zero. Substituting 0 for $v_f$ and 12.6 m/s for $v_i$ and 77 Kg for m we obtain

$\triangle KE=0.5*77*0^{2}-0.5*77*(0^{2}-12.6^{2})=-6112.26 J$

From work energy theorem, work done by a force is equal to the change in kinetic energy hence for this case work done equals <u>-6112.26 J</u>

Can you find the magnetic field based on force? a straight segment of wire 35.0 cm long carrying a current of 1.40 a is in a uni

Lostsunrise [7]

The force exerted by a magnetic field on a wire carrying current is:
$F=ILB \sin \theta$
where I is the current, L the length of the wire, B the magnetic field intensity, and $\theta$ the angle between the wire and the direction of B.

In our problem, the force is F=0.20 N. The current is I=1.40 A, while the length of the wire is L=35.0 cm=0.35 m. The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is $53 ^{\circ}$ , so we can re-arrange the formula and substitute the numbers to find B:
$B= \frac{F}{IL \sin \theta}= \frac{0.20 N}{(1.40 A)(0.35 m)(\sin 53^{\circ})}=0.51 T$
