F = ma solve for m .......

AlladinOne [14]

You should solve this like you would any algebraic expression. Divide both sides by acceleration (a) and you will isolate the mass (m) to one side. Now divide the force (f) by acceleration (a).

F/a=m

A 45.0-kg person steps on a scale in an elevator. The scale reads 460 n. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the elevat

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator is 0.422 m/s²

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

Due to Newton's Law ∑ Forces in direction of motion is equal to mass

multiplied by the acceleration

We have here two forces 460 N in direction of motion and the weight

of the person in opposite direction of motion

The weight of the person is his mass multiplied by the acceleration of

gravity

→ W = mg , where m is the mass and g is the acceleration of gravity

→ m = 45 kg and g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values in the rule above

→ W = 45 × 9.8 = 441 N

The scale reads 460 N

→ F = 460 N , W = 441 N , m = 45 kg

→ F - W = ma

→ 460 - 441 = 45 a

→ 19 = 45 a

Divide both sides by 45

→ a = 0.422 m/s²

<em>The magnitude of the acceleration of the elevator is 0.422 m/s²</em>

A 100 kg father and his 50 kg daughter stand on ice skates on a frozen pond. The daughter pushes on her father with a force of 5

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Both feel same magnitude force.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of father = 100 kg

Mass of daughter = 50 kg

From the third law of Newtons :

Every action have it reaction in opposite direction.It means that if any object apply a force on the other object then first object also feel force of same magnitude but in opposite direction.

It means that both father and her daughter will feel same magnitude of same but in opposite direction.

Two frisky grasshoppers collide in midair at the top of their respective trajectories and grab onto each other, holding tight th

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The decrease in Kinetic energy is 0.0107 Joules

Explanation:

Given

Mass of grasshoppers

Let m1 = Mass of grasshopper 1

Let m2 = Mass of grasshopper 2

Let u1 = initial speed of grasshopper 1

Let u2 = initial speed of grasshopper 2

m1 = 250g = 0.25kg

m2 = 130g = 0.13kg

u1 = 15cm/s = 0.15m/s

u2 = 65cm/s = 0.65m/s

First, we calculate the final velocity of the grasshoppers after collision using conservation of momentum.

Using

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1 + m2) * v

Where v = final velocity

By substituton

0.25 * 0.15 + 0.13 * 0.65 = (0.25 + 0.13) * v

0.0375 + 0.0845 = 380v

0.122 = 0.38v

Make v the subject of formula

v = 0.122/0.38

v = 0.321 m/s

Calculating the Kinetic energies before and after impact.

Before collision;

KE = ½m1u1²+ ½m2u2²

KE = ½(m1u1² + m2u2²)

By substituton;

KE = ½(0.25 * 0.15² + 0.13 * 0.65²)

KE = 0.030275J

After collision:

KE = ½(m1+m2)v²

KE = ½(0.25 + 0.13) * 0.321²

KE = 0.01957779 J

Change in kinetic energy = ∆KE

∆KE = 0.030275J - 0.01957779J

∆KE = 0.01069721J

∆KE = 0.0107 J --- Approximately

Hence the decrease in Kinetic energy is 0.0107 Joules
