If you have a mass of 15kg , what is your weight on earth?

Consider a person sliding down a water slide at constant velocity. what are the forces acting on the person as they slide? are t

Andru [333]

Explanation :

When a person is sliding with constant velocity, the forces that are acting on him are :

(1) Weight, W = mg where g is acceleration due to gravity.

(2) Friction forces acting opposite to the direction of motion.

(3) Normal force.

The forces acting on the person is balanced because the person is sliding with constant velocity.

From figure it is clear that, friction force is balanced by $w\ sin\theta$ and normal is balanced by $w\ cos\theta$ .

A car starts from 0 m along a road and accelerates at 0.5 m/s^2 to the right. A second car starts from 1000 m along the road and

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

e) 31.6 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Equation of motion

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_1=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0.5\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s_1=\frac{1}{2}0.5t^2\ m$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_2=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 0.5\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s_2=\frac{1}{2}1.5t^2\ m$

$s_1+s_2=1000$

$\\\Rightarrow 1000=\frac{1}{2}0.5t^2+\frac{1}{2}1.5t^2\\\Rightarrow 1000=\frac{0.5t^2+1.5t^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow 1000=\frac{2t^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow 1000=t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{1000}\\\Rightarrow t=31.6\ s$

Time taken by the cars to meet 31.6 seconds.

A 30kg boxed is pushed with a force of 20N. What is the boxes acceleration. Please show work

kozerog [31]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.67 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{20}{30} = \frac{2}{3} \\ = 0.6666666...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
