Answer:

a = 12 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

ΣF = sum of forces acting on a body [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 0.5 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

Let's take the direction of positive forces to the right and negative forces directed to the left

2 + 8 - 4 = 0.5*a

6 = 0.5*a

a = 12 [m/s²]

Rasek [7]

Answer:

0.65  kg*m/s and 0.165 kg*m/s

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass m= 0.5kg

initial velolcity u=1.3m/s

final velocity v= 0.97m/s

Required

The change in momentum

Step two:

We know that the expression for impulse is given as

Ft= mv

Ft= 0.5*1.3

Ft= 0.65  kg*m/s

The expression for the change in momentum is given as

P= mΔv

substitute

Pt= 0.5*(1.3-0.97)

Pt= 0.5*0.33

Pt=0.165 kg*m/s

At which latitudes do currents of dry sinking air cause the dry conditions of earth's major deserts
Inessa05 [86]
Currents of dry sinking air cause the dry conditions of earth's major deserts at: <span>30° N and 30° S Latitudes

At approximately 30 degrees from the equator, the air that moved up from the equator started to descends. This air, however, could only come from one direction. So when the air is blocked by a mountain, the other side will not receive any water that it contains. This makes the other sides of the mountain became really dry which will eventually cause the formation of the desert.</span>

A stone is thrown from the top of a building 30m high. If it strikes the ground at an angle 45, with what speed was it thrown?
sasho [114]

Answer:

24.2 m/s

Explanation:

The stone strikes the ground at an angle of 45 degrees: this means that its vertical velocity is equal (in magnitude) to its horizontal velocity, in fact:

tan \theta = \frac{|v_y|}{v_x}\\tan 45^{\circ} = 1 \rightarrow |v_y| = v_x

The motion along the vertical direction is a uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find the final vertical velocity using the following suvat equation

v_y^2 -u_y^2 = 2as

where

v_y is the final vertical velocity

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity (zero because the stone is thrown horizontally)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (we take downward as positive direction)

s = 30 m is the vertical displacement

Solving for vy,

v_y = \sqrt{u_y^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(30)}=24.2 m/s

This means that the horizontal velocity is also 24.2 m/s: and since the horizontal velocity is constant during the whole motion (there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction), this means that the stone was thrown exactly at 24.2 m/s.
