A 1 kg object can be accelerated at 10 m/s^2. If you apply this same force to a 4kg object, what will its acceleration be?

Answer:

a2 = 2.5~m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Mechanical Force</u>

According to the second Newton's law, the net force F exerted by an external agent on an object of mass m is:

F = m.a

Where a is the acceleration of the object.

Assume we apply some given force F to an object of m1=1 Kg that produces an acceleration a1=10 m/s^2, then:

F = m1.a1

The same force F is now applied to a second object m2=4 Kg that produces an acceleration a2, then:

F = m2.a2

Dividing both equations:

\displaystyle 1=\frac{m1.a1}{m2.a2}

Solving for a2:

\displaystyle a2=\frac{m1.a1}{m2}

Substituting values:

\displaystyle a2=\frac{1*10}{4}

a2 = 2.5~m/s^2

A force does 30000 J of work along a distance of 9.5m. Find the applied force.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: F=3158N

Explanation:

Work is the product of force applied and the distance the object moves along the force applied. Work is measured in joules and the equation is as follows

W = F x d

So that F = W/d

F = 30000 J / 9.5m

F = ~3158 N

One of your fellow students comes up to you and asks the following question, "If an object is not moving, can it be accelerating
ipn [44]

Answer:

correct answer is option A (Yes, becuase acceleration depends on the rate of change of velocity and not the value of velocity itself.)

Explanation:

we know that from first equation of motion,

v=u+at

0r

a=\frac{v-u}{t}............(1)

here,

v-final velocity

u-initial velocity

a-acceleration

t-time

if a body is not moving it means if its initial velocity is zero (u=0) and if after time t it moves with velocity v then its acceleration will be given as

a=\frac{v}{t}...........(2)

From above equation it is clear that if an object is not moving, it can be accelerating because acceleration depends on rate of change of velocity and not the value of velocity itself.

How can a vector have a component value equal to zero and also have a non zero magnitude
lina2011 [118]
The vector's magnitude is the square root of (one component squared) + (the other component squred). The magnitude is non-zero if one component or the other is zero, but not if they both are.

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statements are true? As we move to higher altitudes, the force of grav
Sliva [168]

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, as we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases and as we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases both are the true statement.  

<u>Explanation:  </u>

Newton law of universal gravity extends gravity beyond the earth's surface. This gravity depends on the masses directly and inverse to the distance square between their centers.

                                         F=G \frac{M \times m}{r^{2}}

Where,

F – Force, G – gravitational constant, M and m – masses in kg, r – distance in meters.

Since force is proportional to the masses of interacting objects. If the mass of any one object increases, gravity between them also gets increased. When moving to higher altitude, force decreases as the distance is inverse proportion to gravity.
