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]

A child with a weight of 430 N rides on a Ferris wheel, which has a radius of 17 m, and the linear velocity of the 3.5 m/s at an
Murrr4er [49]

At the lowest point on the Ferris wheel, there are two forces acting on the child: their weight of 430 N, and an upward centripetal/normal force with magnitude n; then the net force on the child is

∑ F = ma

n - 430 N = (430 N)/g • a

where m is the child's mass and a is their centripetal acceleration. The child has a linear speed of 3.5 m/s at any point along the path of the wheel whose radius is 17 m, so the centripetal acceleration is

a = (3.5 m/s)² / (17 m) ≈ 0.72 m/s²

and so

n = 430 N + (430 N)/g (0.72 m/s²) ≈ 460 N

The battery of a flashlight develops 3 V, and the current through the bulb is 200 mA.What power is absorbed by the bulb?
Verizon [17]

Answer : The power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W

Explanation :

As we know that,

Power = Voltage × Current

Given:

Voltage = 3 V

Current = 200 mA = 0.200 A

Conversion used : (1 mA = 0.001 A)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Power = Voltage × Current

Power = 3V × 0.200 A

Power = 0.600 W

Thus, the power absorbed by the bulb is, 0.600 W
