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

A hockey puck with mass 0.3 kg is shot across an ice-covered pond. Before the hockey puck was hit, the puck was at rest. After t
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The net friction force is 8.01 N

Explanation:

Net friction force = mass of hockey puck × acceleration

From the equations of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

v = 40 m/s

u = 0 m/s (puck was initially at rest)

s = 30 m

40^2 = 0^2 + 2×a×30

60a = 1600

a = 1600/60 = 26.7 m/s^2

The acceleration of the puck is 26.7 m/s^2

Net friction force = 0.3 × 26.7 = 8.01 N

Which kind of energy transformation occurs during skydiving? A) mechanical to gravitational B) gravitational to kinetic C) kinet
Aleks [24]

B) gravitational to kinetic

Explanation:

The skydiver, when he is located at a certain height h above the ground, possesses gravitational potential energy, equal to:

U=mgh

where m is the mass of the skydiver, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the ground. As he falls, its height h decreases, while his speed v increases, so part of the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is given by

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

so, we see that as v increases, the kinetic energy increases. Therefore the correct answer is

B) gravitational to kinetic

shtirl [24]

Q: ken, 0.75 kg, moves toward a wall (his path normal to the wall) at 52 m/s. 13.0 ms after he touches the wall he pushes himself off in the opposite direction at 60 m/s. What is the magnitude of the average force the wall exerts on Ken during this rapid maneuver

Answer:

-6461.54 N

Explanation:

From Newton's Fundamental equation,

F = m(v-u)/t.................... Equation 1

Where F = Force exerted in sonic, m = mass of ken, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Given: m = 0.75 kg, v = - 60 m/s (opposite direction), u = 52 m/s, t = 13 ms = 0.013 s

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.75(-60-52)/0.013

F = 0.75(-112)/0.013

F = -84/0.013

F = -6461.54 N

Note: The negative sign tells that the force act in opposite direction to the initial motion of ken.

Hence the magnitude of the average force of the wall = -6461.54 N
