Acceleration of a refrigerator 30s after a person begins pushing it at a force of 400 N

1 answer:

6 0

Question: Find acceleration of a refrigerator 30s after a person begins pushing it at a force of 400 N, If the mass of the refrigerator is 10 kg.

Answer:

40 m/s²

Explanation:

Applying,

F = ma................Equation 1

Where F = Force applied to the refrigerator, m = mass of the refrigerator, a = acceleration of the refrigerator.

make a the subject of the equation

a = F/m............ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 400 N, m = 10 kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

a = 400/10

a = 40 m/s²

If a soap bubble is 115 nm thick, what wavelength is most strongly reflected at the center of the outer surface when illuminated

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$611.8$ nm

Explanation:

$n_{oil}$ = Index of refraction of soap bubble = 1.33

$t$ = thickness of the soap bubble = 115 nm = 115 x 10⁻⁹ m

$\lambda$ = wavelength of light = ?

$m$ = order = 0

For reflection , the necessary condition is

$2 n_{oil} t = (m + 0.5) \lambda$

$2 (1.33)(115\times 10^{-9})= (0 + 0.5) \lambda$

$\lambda = 6.118\times 10^{-7}$

$\lambda = 611.8$ nm

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Both objects will undergo the same change in velocity

Explanation:

m = Mass of the Earth = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of Earth = 6371000 m

m = Mass of object

Any object which is falling has only the acceleration due to gravity.

$ma=\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{GM}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{(6.371\times 10^6)^2}\\\Rightarrow a=9.81364\ m/s^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.81364 m/s²

So, the speeds of the objects will change at an equal rate of 9.81364 m/s² but the change will be negative when an object is thrown up.

Hence, both objects will undergo the same change in velocity.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

a) v = 4.4 m/s

b) F = 400 N

Explanation:

a) ½kx² = ½mv²

v = √(kx²/m)

F = kx

v = √(Fx/m)

v = √(800(0.012) / 0.5) = √19.2 = 4.3817...

b) Fd = ½mv²

F = mv²/2d

F = 0.5(19.2) / (2(0.012) = 400 N

if the displacement of a car was 150 km [E] and the velocity was 15.0 km/h [E], what was the travel time?

soldi70 [24.7K]

Given,
Displacement of the car = 150 km
Velocity of the car = 15.0 km/h

We need to calculate the travel time t

We all know that the formula to calculate velocity is

Velocity = displacement / time

From the above equation,

Time = Displacement / Velocity

Substituting the values in the above equation,

Time = 150 / 15.0 = 10 hours
Therefore, travel time = 10 hours.
