Answer:

a = 120 m/s²

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law in the x direction:

∑Fₓ = m*a Formula (1)

Known data

Where:

∑Fₓ: Algebraic sum of forces in the x direction

F: Force in Newtons (N)

m: mass (kg)

a: acceleration of the block (m/s²)

F = 1200N

m = 10 kg

Problem development

We replace the known data in formula (1)

1200 = 10*a

a = 1200/10

a = 120 m/s²

What is the momentum of a 5 kg object that has a velocity of 1.2 m/s? 3.8 kg • m/s 4.2 kg • m/s 6.0 kg • m/s 6.2 kg • m/s
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Your answer will be 6.0kg•m/s

Explanation:

In the given question all the required details d given. Using these information's a person can easily find the momentum of the object. In the question it is already given that the mass of the object is 5 kg and the velocity at which it is traveling is 1.2 m/s.We know the equation of finding momentum asMomentum = mass * velocity                   = 5 * 1.2                    = 6So the momentum of the object is 6 Newton.

A battery powers a circuit for a small noisy fan. The fan's motor gets warm as it turns. What energy transformations are
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Chemical energy to electrical energy to mechanical and thermal energy

Explanation:

In the rotating fan, the chemical energy stored in the battery is used to generate electrical energy.

The electrolytes within the battery undergoes chemical reactions that produces electric current.

  • The current is being used to drive the motor of the fan to produce a mechanical energy as it rotates.
  • In like manner, heat energy is also produced.
  • So, energy is simply being transformed from one form to the other in this system.

Two ships of equal mass are 110 m apart. What is the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the othe
dusya [7]

Answer:

Acceleration of the ship, a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of both ships, m=39000\ metric\ tons=39\times 10^6\ kg

Distance between two ships, d = 110 m

The gravitational force between two ships is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m^2}{d^2}

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times \dfrac{(39\times 10^6\ kg)^2}{(110\ m)^2}

F = 8.38 N

Let a is the acceleration. Now, using second law of motion as :

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{8.38\ N}{39\times 10^6\ kg}

a=2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of either ship due to the gravitational attraction of the other is 2.14\times 10^{-7}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
