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

A railroad car of mass 2.50*10^4 kg is moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroa
NemiM [27]

Answer:

(a) 2.5 m/s

(b) 37.5 KJ

Explanation:

(a)

From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum

mV_1+3mV_2=(m+3m)V_f=4mV_f

V_1+3V_2=4V_f and making V_f the subject then

V_f=\frac {V_1+3V_2}{4} and since V_1 is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s, V_2 is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and v_f is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution

V_f=\frac {4+(3\times2)}{4}=2.5 m/s

(b)

Initial kinetic energy is given by

\frac {mV_1^{2}}{2}+\frac {3mV_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {m(V_1^{2}+3V_2^{2}}{2}=\frac {2.5\times 10^{4}(4^{2}+3(2^{2}))}{2}=350\times10^{3} J= 350 KJ

Final kinetic energy is given by

\frac {4mV_f^{2}}{2}=\frac {4\times 2.5\times 10^{4}\times 2.5^{2}}{2}=312.5\times 10^{3} J=312.5 KJ

The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence

Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ

Find the minimum radius of a helium balloon that will lift her off the ground. the density of helium gas is 0.178 kg/m3, and the
marysya [2.9K]

Volume of balloon = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Where r is the radius of balloon.

Here mass of woman = 68 kg

Mass of air displaced by a balloon with volume V = 1.29*V

Mass of helium inside balloon = 0.178*V

Total mass to be lifted by balloon = 68 +0.178*V

Buoyant force = 1.29V-0.178V=1.112V

So we have 1.112 V =  68+ 0.178*V

   0.934 V = 68

     V = 72.81 m^3

    \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}[/tex]= 72.81

     r = 2.59 m

So radius of helium balloon = 2.59 m

A Scooter travelling at 10m/s speed up to 20m/s in 4 sec.find the acceleration of scooter​
stira [4]

Answer:

2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

Initial speed ( u ) = 10 m/s

Final speed ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time ( t ) = 4 seconds

To find : Acceleration ( a ) = ?

Formula : -

a = ( v - u ) / t

a = ( 20 - 10 ) / 4

= 10 / 4

= 5 / 2

a = 2.5 m/s²

Therefore,

The acceleration of the scooter is 2.5 m/s²
