Answer:

An air hockey table has a very smooth and slippery surface which reduces friction by suspending the puck on cushion of air, so that this its motion is much less altered by friction, causing it to glide in a straight line at relatively constant velocity across the table.

If you use the same force to push a motorcycle as you would push a bike which one would have more acceleration and why explain u

zaharov [31]

Answer:

The bike would have more acceleration

Explanation:

Accourding to newtons first law a force is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration (f=ma) therefore an object with a higher mass compared to an object with a lower mass would experience less acceleration.

Eg.

F=50N

Motorbike M=200kg

F=ma

50=200 x a

50/200=a

0.25m/s/s =a

Bike M=35kg

F=ma

50=35 x a

50/35= a

1.43m/s/s=a

If izzy mass is 0.3kg he applide 657.9n force what will be the accelration

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the body, m = 0.3 kg

The force acting on the body, F = 657.9 N

The force acting on an object is proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

F = m x a

Therefore, the acceleration of the body is

a = F / m

= 657.9 N / 0.3 kg

= 2193 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

Two tugboats are moving a barge. Tugboat A pushes on the barge with a force of 3000n. Tugboat B pulls with a force of 5000 Newto

kenny6666 [7]

The net force on the barge is 8000 N

Explanation:

In order to find the net force on the badge, we have to use the rules of vector addition, since force is a vector quantity.

In this problem, we have two forces:

The force of tugboat A, $F_A = 3000 N$ , acting in a certain direction
The force of tugboat B, $F_B = 5000 N$ , also acting in the same direction

Since the two forces act in the same direction, this means that we can simply add their magnitudes to find the net combined force on the barge. Therefore, we get

$F=F_A+F_B = 3000 + 5000 = 8000 N$
