Answer:

2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

You can solve the following equation: F=ma for acceleration.

You'll be left with this:

a=F/m

And then you substitute the force and the doubled mass

a=500N/200kg

a=2.5 m/s²

What is the magnitude of the impulse that would cause the 2-kg box to accelerate from 2 m/s to 5 m/s?
Law Incorporation [45]

6 J is the impulse caused by the change in velocity of 2 kg box from 2 m/s to 5 m/s.

Answer:

The magnitude of impulse is 6 J.

Explanation:

Impulse is the force acting on any object for a given time interval. As force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. Then the product of force with time interval will be equal to the product of mass with change in velocity.

F = m a = \frac{m(v-u)}{(t_{2}-t_{1}  )}

FΔt = mΔv

Impulse = FΔt=mΔv

As the mass of box is given as 2 kg and the velocity changes from 2 m/s to 5 m/s, then the impulse = 2 × (5-2) = 2 ×3 =6 J

So 6 J is the impulse caused by the change in velocity of 2 kg box from 2 m/s to 5 m/s.

A bullet of mass 120g is fired horizontally into a fixed wooden block with a speed of 20m\s. The bullet is brought to rest in a
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1) F = 24 N

2) Distance = 1 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 120 g = 0.12 kg

Initial velocity; u = 20 m/s

Final velocity; v = 0 m/s since it came to rest.

Time; t = 0.1 s

We can calculate acceleration from Newton's first equation of motion;

a = (v - u)/t

a = (0 - 20)/0.1

a = -200 m/s²

1) magnitude of the resistance will be;

F = ma

F = 0.12 × (-200)

F = -24 N

Since, we are dealing with the magnitude, we will take the absolute value. Thus, F = 24 N

2) To find the distance moved by the bullet, we know that;

Distance = Average speed × time

Thus;

Distance = ((v + u)/2) × t

Distance = ((0 + 20)/2) × 0.1

Distance = 1 m

Ann walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. what is Ann's speed? what is Ann's velocity
ipn [44]

To calculate the speed and velocity of the Ann`s we use the formula,

v= \frac{d}{t}

Here, d is distance and t is time and v if we take it with direction then it is called velocity and if we take it without the direction then it is called speed.

Given d=1.5 miles and t=0.5 hours.

Substituting these values in above equation we get

v=\frac{1.5mi }{0.5 h} = 3 mi/h

As Ann walked towards south direction therefore, Ann`s velocity is 3 mi/h south and her speed is 3 mi/h .

In 2 1/2 hours an airplane travels 1150 km against the wind. It takes 50 min to travel 450 km with the wind. Find the speed of t
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Velocity of airplane is 500 km/h

Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Explanation:

V_a= Velocity of airplane in still air

V_w= Velocity of wind

Time taken by plane to travel 1150 km against the wind is 2.5 hours

V_a-V_w=\frac {1150}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=460\quad (1)

Time taken by plane to travel 450 km against the wind is 50 minutes = 50/60 hours

V_a+V_w=\frac {450}{50}\times 60\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=540\quad (2)

Subtracting the two equations we get

V_a-V_w-V_a-V_w=460-540\\\Rightarrow -2V_w=-80\\\Rightarrow V_w=40\ km/h

Applying the value of velocity of wind to the first equation

V_a-40=460\\\Rightarrow V_a =500\ km/h

∴ Velocity of airplane in still air is 500 km/h and Velocity of wind is 40 km/h
