Answer:

$a = 0\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body is defined as the change in velocity of an object, with respect to time. So, in order to produce and acceleration in any object, the velocity of that object must change. And, if the velocity of the object is not changing with respect to time, then the object is said to have a uniform motion. The acceleration of the object in such uniform motion is always zero. Because the change in velocity is zero.

$acceleration = change in velocity/time\\acceleration = 0 / time\\acceleration = 0 m/s^2$

Since, the car in this case is moving with a constant speed. Therefore, its acceleration will also be zero.

a = 0 m/s²

A crane lifts a 545 kg piano up into a high-rise apartment 75.0 meters above the ground. In order to do so, 5350 Newtons were ap

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Work done to pull the piano upwards is 401250 J

Explanation:

Work is done against the gravity to pull the piano upwards

So here we can say that work done is

$W = mgH$

here we know that

$mg = 5350 N$

also we know that

H = 75 m

now we have

$W = 5350 \times 75$

$W = 401250 J$

Mass×acceleration of a triangle =force

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The force acting on a body is always equal to the product of the mass of the body and its acceleration.

Explanation:

The force of a body is defined as the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

According to Newton's second law, wherever there is a change in momentum of the body for an interval of time, there is a force acting on it.

F = (mv - mu) / t

= m (v -u) /t

= m a

Where,

(v - u)/t - is the change in velocity of the body in the interval of time. It is equal to the acceleration of the body.

Hence, the equation for the force for any body becomes, F = m x a

A 13.0-g wad of sticky clay is hurled horizontally at a 110-g wooden block initially at rest on a horizontal surface. The clay s

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

$v_{ic}=92.53 m/s$

Explanation:

We need to apply conservation of momentum and energy to solve this problem.

Conservation of momentum

$p_{i}=p_{f}$

$m_{c}v_{ic}=(m_{c}+m_{w})V$ (1)

m(c) is the mass of stick clay
m(w) is the mass of the wooden block
v(ic) is the initial velocity of clay
V is the final velocity of the system clay plus wood.

Conservation of total energy

The change in kinetic energy is equal to the change in internal energy, in our case it would be the energy loss due to the friction force. Let's recall the definition of work, it is the dot product between force and displacement, Therefore:

$\Delta E=W$
