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

A 12.6-kg monkey is hanging by one arm from a branch and swinging on a vertical circle. As an approximation, assume a radial dis

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

a)27.3N

b)150.78N

Explanation:

Having in mind the conservation of energy, as the monkey goes up (gaining potential gravitational energy) the kinetic energy must be reduced, so reducing the velocity of the monkey. So the maximum velocity will be at this lower point with a velocity of 1.36m/s

From this velocity and the radius we can calculate the angular velocity for the monkey center of mass:

$w=\frac{1.36m/s}{0.853m} =1.594 /s$

with this we can calculate the centripetal force magnitude:

$F=m*w^{2} *r=12.6kg*(1.594/s)^{2} *0.853m=27.3N$

On the mokey center of mass we have two opposite forces acting, the tension of the arm and the weight, in order for the monkey to continue swinging the resolt of this two forces must be equal to the centripetal force:

$T-P=F=>T=F+P$

$T=27.3N+12.6kg*9.8m/s^{2}=150.78N$

A) Julie is running to the right at 5 m/s, as shown in the 1st figure. Balls 1 and 2 are thrown toward her at 10 m/s by friends

Svetach [21]

Part 1)

here Julie is running at speed 5 m/s

So here two balls are thrown at speed 10 m/s towards Julie with respect to her friend standing on the ground.

So here this all speed is real speed of all.

Now as per Anita (let say she is one of her friend standing on ground) the speed of two balls will be same as the given speed as she is observing from ground or stationary frame

As per the frame of Julie

speed of ball 1

$v_{1j} = v_1 - v_j$
