Calculate the force at sea level that a boy of mass 50 kg exerts on a chair in which he is sitting

1 answer:

There is only one force applying to the boy, which is gravity in that regard pointing from the chair down to earth. The gravity force "Fg" is equal to the mass "m" of the object multiply by the earth accelaration "g". And so F = 50kg.9.8m/s = 490Newtons (N)

Mitch throws a 100-g lump of clay at a 500-g target, which is at rest on a horizontal surface. After impact, the target, includi

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

27.22 m/s

Explanation:

Let the speed of clay before impact is u.

the speed of clay and target is v after impact.

use conservation of momentum

momentum before impact momentum after impact

mass of clay x u = (mass of clay + mass of target) x v

100 x u = (100 + 500) x v

u = 6 v .....(1)

distance, s = 2.1 m

μ = 0.5

final velocity is zero. use third equation of motion

v'² = v² + 2as

0 = v² - 2 x μ x g x s

v² = 2 x 0.5 x 9.8 x 2.1 = 20.58

v = 4.54 m/s

so by equation (1)

u = 6 x 4.54 = 27.22 m/s

thus, the speed of clay before impact is 27.22 m/s.

The table shows information about four students who are running around a track. Which statement is supported by the information

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Mohammed has less kinetic energy than Autumn

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of each student is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the student

v is the speed of the student

Let's use the formula above to calculate the kinetic energy of each student:

- Autumn: $K=\frac{1}{2}(50 kg)(4 m/s)^2=400 J$

- Mohammed: $K=\frac{1}{2}(57 kg)(3 m/s)^2=256.5 J$

- Lexy: $K=\frac{1}{2}(53 kg)(3 m/s)^2=238.5 J$

- Chiang: $K=\frac{1}{2}(64 kg)(5 m/s)^2=800 J$

Therefore, by looking at the numbers, we see that the correct answer is

Mohammed has less kinetic energy than Autumn
