Answer:

m = 20,000 kg

Explanation:

Force, $F=2.5\times 10^4\ N$

Acceleration of the shark, $a=1.25\ m/s^2$

It is required to find the mass of the shark. Let m is the mass. Using second law of motion to find it as follows :

F = ma

Putting the value of F and a to find m

$m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^4}{1.25}\\\\m=20,000\ kg$

So, the shark's mass is 20,000 kg.

An electron of mass 9.11x10^-31 kg has an initial speed of 2.40x10^5 m/s. It travels in a straight line, and its speed increases

egoroff_w [7]

Answer: A) Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

B) force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).

Explanation: mass of electronic charge = 9.11*10^-31kg

v = final velocity = 6.80*10^5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 2.40 * 10^5 m/s

S= distance covered = 4.8cm = 0.048m

a = acceleration

Since the acceleration of the electron is assumed to be constant, newton's laws of motion are valid.

Thus, recall that

v² = u² + 2aS

(6.80*10^5)² = ( 2.40*10^5)² + 2*a( 0.048)

46.24 * 10^10 = 5.76 * 10^10 + 0.096a

46.24 *10^10 - 5.76* 10^10 = 0.096a

40.48* 10^10 = 0.096a

a = 40.48 * 10^10/0.096

a = 4.2167*10^12m/s².

Force = mass * acceleration

Force = 9.11*10^-31 * 4.2167*10^12

Force = 3.841*10^-18 N.

Weight =Fg= mg where g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8m/s²

Fg= 9.11*10^-31 * 9.8

Fg = 8.9278* 10^-30 N

By comparing the force and the weight, we have that

F/Fg = 3.841 * 10^-18/8.9278 * 10^-30 = 4.30* 10^12.

This implies that the force (f) is 4.30* 10^12 times greater than the weight (Fg).

Two subway stops are separated by 1210 m. If a subway train accelerates at 1.30 m/s2 from rest through the first half of the dis

solong [7]

Answer:

Part 1) Time of travel equals 61 seconds

Part 2) Maximum speed equals 39.66 m/s.

Explanation:

The final speed of the train when it completes half of it's journey is given by third equation of kinematics as

$v^{2}=u^2+2as$

where

'v' is the final speed

'u' is initial speed

'a' is acceleration of the body

's' is the distance covered

Applying the given values we get

$v^2=0+2\times 1.30\times \frac{1210}{2}\\\\v^{2}=1573\\\\\therefore v=39.66m/s$

Now the time taken to attain the above velocity can be calculated by the first equation of kinematics as

$v=u+at\\\\v=0+1.30\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{39.66}{1.30}=30.51seconds$

Since the deceleration is same as acceleration hence the time to stop in the same distance shall be equal to the time taken to accelerate the first half of distance

Thus total time of journey equals $T=2\times 30.51\approx61seconds$

Part b)

the maximum speed is reached at the point when the train ends it's acceleration thus the maximum speed reached by the train equals $39.66m/s$
