Answer:

The force is 15N

Explanation:

The formula is Force= mass × velocity.

From the question mass is 5kg, velocity is 3m/s.

F= 5×3

F= 15Newton.

Therefore the force is 15N.

Answer:

7.5 N

Explanation:

Given data :

velocity ( V ) = 3m/s

mass of hammer ( m ) = 5 kg

Determine the force needed to keep hammer moving through space

The force needed to keep the hammer moving in space can be calculated

F = ma  ----- (1 )

m = 5 kg

a = velocity / time

velocity = displacement / time  = 3 m/s  hence displacement after 1 second = 3m

now we have to determine the acceleration using the relationship  below

V^2 =  V1^2 + 2(a)(d)

3^2 = 0 + 2(a) ( 3 )

 9 = 6a   ∴  a = 9/6 = 1.5 m/s^2

back to equation 1

F = ma

  = 5 * 1.5 =  7.5 N

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Centripetal acceleration = 83.77m/s²

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Radius, r = 0.13m

Velocity, v = 3.3m/s

To find centripetal acceleration;

Centripetal acceleration is given by the formula;

Acceleration, a = \frac {v^{2}}{r}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Centripetal \; acceleration, a = \frac {3.3^{2}}{0.13}

Centripetal \; acceleration, a = \frac {10.89}{0.13}

<em>Centripetal acceleration = 83.77m/s²</em>

<em>Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the edge of the disc is 83.77 m/s². </em>

What is the SI unit for kinetic energy
trapecia [35]
The easiest way to build a unit for energy is to remember that
'work' is energy, and  
                                       Work = (force) x (distance).

So energy is                   (unit of force) x (unit of distance)

                   [Energy]  =       (Newton)            (meter) .

'Newton' itself is a combination of base units, so
energy is really
                             (kilogram-meter/sec²)      (meter)

                       =           kilogram-meter² / sec² .

That unit is so complicated that it's been given a special,
shorter name:
                                       Joule .

It doesn't matter what kind of energy you're talking about.
Kinetic, potential, nuclear, electromagnetic, food, chemical,
muscle, wind, solar, steam ... they all boil down to Joules.

And if you generate, use, transfer, or consume 1 Joule of
energy every second, then we say that the 'power' is '1 watt'.

How does a vacuum flask keep drinks hot? Explain in terms of conduction, convection and radiation.
Flura [38]
Vacum flask has inner layer of glass and outer body of plastic.the glass has a reflective metal layer..when a hot drink is poured into the flask it prevents conduction.tight lid stops the convection.when radiation tries to leave the hot drink the reflective layer of the glass reflects it back so no heat can escape.
