Answer:

18 N

Explanation:

Force can be found using the following formula.

f= m*a

where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

We know the desk has a mass of 36 kilograms. We also know that its acceleration is 0.5 m/s^2.

m= 36 kg

a= 0.5 m/s^2

Substitute these values into the formula.

f= 36 kg * 0.5 m/s^2

Multiply 36 and 0.5

f=18 kg m/s^2

1 kg m/s^2 is equivalent to 1 Newton, or N.

f= 18 Newtons

The force being applied is 18 kg m/s^2, Newtons, or N

A 600g toy train completes 10 laps of its circular track in 1 min 20s. If the radius of the track is 1.2 m, Find the centripetal
Lynna [10]

Wow !  This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.

The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is

                          (speed-squared)  /  (radius of the circle)  .

Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.

We know the radius of the track.  We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out.  That's what we
need to do first.

Speed  =  (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).

Distance = 10 laps of the track.   Well how far is that ? ? ?

1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) =  2.4π  meters

10 laps =  24π  meters.

Time = 1 minute 20 seconds  =  80 seconds

The trains speed is  (distance) / (time)

                               =  (24π meters) / (80 seconds)

                               =        0.3 π  meters/second .

NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.

                                 <span> (speed)²  /  (radius)

                           =    (0.3π m/s)²  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π m²/s²)  /  (1.2 meters)

                           =    (0.09π  /  1.2)   m/s²

                           =          0.236  m/s²  .        (rounded)

If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...

Well,       Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .

We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force.       </span>

Which sentence in the passage can be used to conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet and not a planet?
Lelu [443]
Eris is slightly more massive than Pluto. However, both of them are smaller than Earth's Moon.
This should conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet.

A student standing on a stationary skateboard tosses a textbook with a mass of mb = 1.25 kg to a friend standing in front of him
juin [17]

Answer:

The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of book =1.25 kg

Combined mass = 112 kg

Velocity of book = 3.61 m/s

Angle = 31°

We need to calculate the magnitude of the velocity of the student has after throwing the book

Using conservation of momentum along horizontal  direction

m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta= m_{c}v_{c}

v_{s}=\dfrac{m_{b}v_{b}\cos\theta}{m_{c}}

Put the value into the formula

v_{c}=\dfrac{1.25\times3.61\times\cos31}{112}

v_{c}=0.0345\ m/s

Hence, The velocity of the student has after throwing the book is 0.0345 m/s.
