A worker with spikes on his shoes applies a constant horizontal force of 20 N to push a 40-kg box across a frictionless, frozen

lake. What is the acceleration of the box?
2.0 m/s^2
0.5 m/s^2
4.1 m/s^2

Answer:

0.5m/s2

Explanation:

because since newtons third law states that f=ma

hence force is 20N and m=40kg

hence by substituting in formula we get a=0.5m/s2

The acceleration of the box will be ${\bold0.5 m/s^2.}$

Explanation:

Given:

Constant horizontal force on the box= 20 N

Mass of the box=40kg

To Find:

Acceleration of the box=?

Solution:

According to Newton's Second Law,

Force = Mass x Acceleration

On substituting the values,

$20 = 40 \times Acceleration$

Solving the equation for Acceleration

$20 = 40 \times Acceleration$

$Acceleration= \frac{1}{2}$

$Acceleration = 0.5 m/s^2$

In my trigonometry class, we were assigned a problem on Angular and Linear Velocity.

Rzqust [24]

1) 0.0011 rad/s

2) 7667 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The angular velocity of an object in circular motion is equal to the rate of change of its angular position. Mathematically:

$\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}$

where

$\theta$ is the angular displacement of the object

t is the time elapsed

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

In this problem, the Hubble telescope completes an entire orbit in 95 minutes. The angle covered in one entire orbit is

$\theta=2\pi$ rad

And the time taken is

$t=95 min \cdot 60 =5700 s$

Therefore, the angular velocity of the telescope is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{5700}=0.0011 rad/s$

2)

For an object in circular motion, the relationship between angular velocity and linear velocity is given by the equation

$v=\omega r$

where

v is the linear velocity

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

r is the radius of the circular orbit

In this problem:

$\omega=0.0011 rad/s$ is the angular velocity of the Hubble telescope

The telescope is at an altitude of

h = 600 km

over the Earth's surface, which has a radius of

R = 6370 km

So the actual radius of the Hubble's orbit is

$r=R+h=6370+600=6970 km = 6.97\cdot 10^6 m$

Therefore, the linear velocity of the telescope is:

$v=\omega r=(0.0011)(6.97\cdot 10^6)=7667 m/s$

I attached a Diagram for this problem.

We star considering the system is in equlibrium, so

Fm makes $90-(\theta+5)$ with vertical

Fm makes 70 with vertical

Applying summatory in X we have,

$\sum F_x = 0$

$W+1.4-Fm cos(70)$

We know that W is equal to

$W= 0.06*100N = 6N$

Substituting,

$Fm cos (70) = W+1.4N$

$Fm cos (70) = 6N + 1.4N$

$Fm = \frac{7.4}{cos(70)}$

$Fm = 21.636N$

sweet [91]

<span>The acceleration of the bullet is called ACTION.

</span>Formally stated, Newton's third law<span> is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

During the internal examination, the pathologist drains the intestines, removes any undigested food and feces, and examines the contents of the stomach. This examination could give the pathologist clues of the time of death, and the location of death. The process of digesting and defecation vary from person to person, the entire process is generally considered to take approximately 40 hours in adults

The speed of a moving bullet can be deter-

Bad White [126]

Answer:

<em>v = 381 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Linear Speed</u>

The linear speed of the bullet is calculated by the formula:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}$

Where:

x = Distance traveled

t = Time needed to travel x

We are given the distance the bullet travels x=61 cm = 0.61 m. We need to determine the time the bullet took to make the holes between the two disks.

The formula for the angular speed of a rotating object is:

$\displaystyle \omega=\frac{\theta}{t}$

Where θ is the angular displacement and t is the time. Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{\theta}{\omega}$

The angular displacement is θ=14°. Converting to radians:

$\theta=14*\pi/180=0.2443\ rad$

The angular speed is w=1436 rev/min. Converting to rad/s:

$\omega = 1436*2\pi/60=150.3776\ rad/s$

Thus the time is:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{0.2443\ rad}{150.3776\ rad/s}$

t = 0.0016 s

Thus the speed of the bullet is:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{0.61}{0.0016}$

v = 381 m/s
