A Go Kart (m = 35 kg) has a top speed of 12 m/s . A student traveling at top speed locks the brake to avoid hitting a bus after

school, skidding 7.2 meters before stopping. How much force did the Go Kart have when the student locked the brake?

Answer:

350 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of Go Kart = 35 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 12 m/s

Distance (s) = 7.2 m

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the Go Kart. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 12 m/s

Distance (s) = 7.2 m

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) =.?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 12² + (2 × a × 7.2)

0 = 144 + 14.4a

Collect like terms

0 – 144 = 14.4a

– 144 = 14.4a

Divide both side by 14.4

a = – 144 / 14.4

a = – 10 m/s²

The negative sign indicate that the Go Kart is decelerating when the brake was applied.

Finally, we shall determine the force the Go Kart have when the student locked the brake. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of Go Kart = 35 kg

Acceleration (a) = 10 m/s

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 35 × 10

F = 350 N

Thus, the Go Kart has a force of 350 N when the student locked the brake.

what is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun? express your answer in newtons.
Alborosie

The gravitational force the sun experiences from the earth is 3.48×10²²N, which is exactly the same as the force the sun experiences from the earth.

  • Gravity is a force that develops as a result of the attraction between mass-containing objects. The mass of the object has a direct relationship to the strength of this attraction. r equals the separation of two objects.

F = G (M₁M₂)/r²

Where, F  the gravitational force

G=6.67×10⁻¹¹Nm²kg⁻² gravitational constant

M₁=5.98×10²⁴kg  mass of earth

M₂= 1.99×10³⁰ kg the mass of the sun

r =15×10¹⁰ m is the distance between sun and earth

Putting all the values in above equation,

F = 6.67×10⁻¹¹Nm²kg⁻²(5.98×10²⁴kg 1.99×10³⁰ kg)/15×10¹⁰ m

On solving the above equation we get,

F = 3.48×10²²N

What will occur if a resistor with high resistance is inserted into a circuit?
Anton [14]
If the resistor is in series with the rest of the circuit then a is the correct answer. The voltage across the resistor in series with another resistor is
V \frac{R}{R+r}
where R is the big resistor and r is the small one and V is the total voltage drop across both.  This is called a voltage divider
