Answer:

80 N

Explanation:

mass (m) = 20kg

acceleration (a) = 4m/s^2

Force (F) = ?

.°. F = ma

= 20 × 4 = 80

.°. F = 80 N

Thus, The Force is needed to accelerate a 20 kg mass at a rate of 4 m/s^2 is 80 N

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, below is the complete question "A particle moves through an xyz coordinate system while a force acts on it. When the particle has the position vector r with arrow = (2.00 m)i hat − (3.00 m)j + (2.00 m)k, the force is F with arrow = Fxi hat + (7.00 N)j − (5.00 N)k and the corresponding torque about the origin is vector tau = (4 N · m)i hat + (10 N · m)j + (11N · m)k.

Determine Fx."

F_{x}=-1N.m

Explanation:

We asked to determine the "x" component of the applied force. To do this, we need to write out the expression for the torque in the in vector representation.

torque=cross product of force and position . mathematically this can be express as

T=r*F

Where

F=F_{x}i+(7N)j-(5N)k  and the position vector

r=(2m)i-(3m)j+(2m)k

using the determinant method to expand the cross product in order to determine the torque we have

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\2&-3&2\\ F_{x} &7&-5\end{array}\right]\\\\

by expanding we arrive at

T=(18-14)i-(-12-2F_{x})j+(12+3F_{x})k\\T=4i-(-12-2F_{x})j+(12+3F_{x})k\\\\

since we have determine the vector value of the toque, we now compare with the torque value given in the question

(4Nm)i+(10Nm)j+(11Nm)k=4i-(-12-2F_{x})j+(12+3F_{x})k\\

if we directly compare the j coordinate we have

10=-(-12-2F_{x})\\10=12+2F_{x}\\ 10-12=2F_{x}\\ F_{x}=-1N.m

A light, rigid rod is 55.8 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a frictionless horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at res
VMariaS [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy. For this purpose, potential energy is equivalent to kinetic energy, and this clearly depends on the position of the body. In turn, we also note that the height traveled is twice that of the rigid rod, therefore applying these concepts we will have

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = mgh

v = \sqrt{2gh}

v = \sqrt{2(9.8)(2(55.8*10^{-2}))}

v = 4.67m/s

Therefore the minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle is 4.67m/s

A small block of mass m1 = 0.4 kg is placed on a long slab of mass m2 = 2.8 kg. Initially, the slab is stationary and the block
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

v₁ = 0.375 m / s ,   x = 0.335 m

Explanation:

Let's analyze this interesting exercise, the block moves and has a friction force with the tile, we assume that the speed of the block is constant, so the friction force opposes the block movement. For the only force that acts (action and reaction) this friction force exerted by the block that is in the direction of movement of the tile.

We can also see that the isolated system formed by the block and the tile will reach a stable speed where friction cannot give the system more energy, this speed can be found by treating the system with the conservation of linear momentum.

initial moment. Right at the start of the movement

       p₀ = m v₀ + 0

final moment. Just when it comes to equilibrium

      p_{f} = (m + M) v₁

how the forces are internal

       p₀ =p_{f}

       m v₀ = (m + M) v₁

       v₁ = m /m+M    v₀

let's calculate

       v₁ = 0.4 /(0.4 + 2.8)  3

       v₁ = 0.375 m / s

 

Let's apply Newton's second law to the Block, to find the friction force

Y axis

       N - W = 0

       N = W

       N = m g

where m is the mass of the block

the friction force has the formula

      fr = μ N

      fr = μ m g

We apply Newton's second law to slab    

X axis

       fr = M a

where M is the mass of the slab

       μ m g = M a

       a = μ g m / M

let's calculate

       a = 0.15  9.8  0.4 / 2.8

       a = 0.21 m / s²

With kinematics we can find the position

       v²= v₀²+2 a x

as the slab is initially at rest, its initial velocity is zero

       v² = 2 a x

       x = v2 / 2a

let's calculate

        x = 0.375²/2 0.21

        x = 0.335 m
