Answer:

a = 5.33 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of the forces acting on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

F = force = 400 [N]

m = mass = 75 [kg]

a = F/m

a = 400/75

a = 5.33 [m/s²]

natita [175]

Answer:

3.258 m/s

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)

x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.4

Energy stored in spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 263\times 0.7^2\\\Rightarrow U=64.435\ J

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=U-\mu mgx\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{U-\mu mgx}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{64.435-0.4\times 8\times 9.81\times 0.7}{8}}\\\Rightarrow v=3.258\ m/s

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s

A person walks 45 m East and then walks 39 m at an angle 40◦ North of East. What is the magnitude of the total displacement? Ans
vredina [299]

Answer:

r = 78.95 m

Explanation:

given,

Person Walk in east, r₁ = 45 m

Then he walk, r₂= 39 m in the direction of 40◦ North of East.

writing the total displacement in x- direction

 r₁ₓ  = 45 m

 r₂ₓ = 39 cos 40°

  r₂ₓ = 29.87 m

total displacement in x-direction

rₓ = r₁ₓ + r₂ₓ

rₓ = 45 + 29.87

rₓ = 74.87 m

displacement in y-direction

r_{1y} = 0 m

r_{2y} = 39 sin 40°

r_{2y} = 25.07 m

total displacement in y- direction

  r_y = 25.07 m

using Pythagoras theorem for the magnitude calculation

 r = \sqrt{r_x^2 + r_y^2}

 r = \sqrt{74.87^2 +25.07^2}

        r = 78.95 m

The magnitude of total displacement is equal to 78.95 m.

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.3 cm. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r
Valentin [98]
The energy of a photon is proportional to the speed of light and inversely proportional to the wavelength. The constant of proportionality is Planck's constant, <span>6.626 * 10^-34 Js</span>

E = hc/ {wavelength} 
E = [ 6.626 * 10^-34 Js * 2.997 * 10^8 m/s ] / 0.124 m 
E = 1.60 * 10^-24 J
