If a force of 12 N is applied to an object with a mass of 2 kg, what will be its acceleration?

1 answer:

7 0

F = ma, Where F is force is in N, mass is in kg, = 2kg, a is acceleration in m/s²

12 = 2a

2a = 12

a = 12/2

a = 6

Acceleration = 6 m/s²

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency?(b) What is its wavelength in glass t

inn [45]

(a) $4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

The frequency of a wave is given by:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where

v is the wave's speed

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the red laser light in this problem, we have

$v=c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ (speed of light)

$\lambda=632.8 nm=632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting,

$f=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0 = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the original wavelength of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$\lambda=\frac{632.8\cdot 10^{-9}m}{1.48}=427.6\cdot 10^{-9}m=427.6 nm$

(c) $2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of the wave in the glass is given by

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where

$c = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the original speed of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 90.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force

Oliga [24]

Answer:

The mass of the ice block is equal to 70.15 kg

Explanation:

The data for this exercise are as follows:

F=90 N

insignificant friction force

x=13 m

t=4.5 s

m=?

applying the equation of rectilinear motion we have:

x = xo + vot + at^2/2

where xo = initial distance =0

vo=initial velocity = 0

a is the acceleration

therefore the equation is:

x = at^2/2

Clearing a:

a=2x/t^2=(2x13)/(4.5^2)=1.283 m/s^2

we use Newton's second law to calculate the mass of the ice block:

F=ma

m=F/a = 90/1.283=70.15 kg

The engine in an imaginary sports car can provide constant power to the wheels over a range of speeds from 0 to 70 miles per hou

puteri [66]

Answer:

$t=5.3687\ s$ is the time taken by the car to accelerate the desired range of the speed from zero at full power.

Explanation:

Given:

Range of speed during which constant power is supplied to the wheels by the car is $0\ mph\ to\ 70\ mph$ .

Initial velocity of the car, $v_i=0\ mph$

final velocity of the car during the test, $v_f=32\ mph=14.3052\ m.s^{-1}$

Time taken to accelerate form zero to 32 mph at full power, $t=1.2\ s$

initial velocity of the car, $u_i=0\ mph$

final desired velocity of the car, $u_f=64\ mph=28.6105\ m.s^{-1}$

Now the acceleration of the car:

$a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

$a=\frac{14.3052-0}{1.2}$

$a=11.921\ m.s^{-1}$

Now using the equation of motion:

$u_f=u_i+a.t$

$64=0+11.921\times t$

$t=5.3687\ s$ is the time taken by the car to accelerate the desired range of the speed from zero at full power.
