An Elephant is pulled by a group of clowns across a circus. The elephant has a mass of 1000kg and the clowns are pulling with a

force of 200N. What is the acceleration of the elephant?

GaryK [48]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The acceleration of the elephant is 5m/s^2 (squared).

Explanation:

Given: Force=200N, Mass=1000kg

Required: acceleration=?

Equation: a=F/m

Solution: a=200N/1000kg

Answer: a=5m/s^2

viva [34]

Answer:

a) L=0. b) L = 262 k ^   Kg m²/s and c)  L = 1020.7 k^   kg m²/s

Explanation:

It is angular momentum given by

      L = r x p

Bold are vectors; where L is the angular momentum, r the position of the particle and p its linear momentum

One of the easiest ways to make this vector product is with the use of determinants

{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&y&z\\px&py&pz\end{array}\right]

Let's apply this relationship to our case

Let's start by breaking down the speed

      v₀ₓ = v₀ cosn 45

      voy =v₀ sin 45

      v₀ₓ = 9 cos 45

      voy = 9 without 45

      v₀ₓ = 6.36 m / s

      voy = 6.36 m / s

a) at launch point r = 0 whereby L = 0

. b) let's find the position for maximum height, we can use kinematics, at this point the vertical speed is zero

   vfy² = voy²- 2 g y

   y = voy² / 2g

   y = (6.36)²/2 9.8

   y = 2.06 m

Let's calculate the angular momentum

L= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&y&0\\px&0&0\end{array}\right]

L = -px y k ^

L = - (m vox) (2.06) k ^

L = - 20 6.36 2.06 k ^

L = 262 k ^   Kg m² / s

The angular momentum is on the z axis

c) At the point of impact, at this point the height is zero and the position on the x-axis is the range

     R = vo² sin 2θ / g

     R = 9² sin (2 45) /9.8

     R = 8.26 m

L = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\x&0&0\\px&py&0\end{array}\right]

L = - x py k ^

L = - x m voy

L = - 8.26 20 6.36 k ^

L = 1020.7 k^   kg m² /s

A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 30.0° above the horizon at 18.0 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mas
Radda [10]

Answer:

change in momentum, \Delta p=7.65 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

  • \Delta p_x= 6.6251 \,kg.m.s^{-1}
  • \Delta p_y= 3.825 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

Average Force, F=144.3396\,N

  • F_x=125.0018\,N
  • F_y=72.1698\,N

Explanation:

Given:

angle of kicking from the horizon, \theta= 30^{\circ}

velocity of the ball after being kicked, v=18 m.s^{-1}

mass of the ball, m=0.425\, kg

time of application of force, t=5.3\times 10^{-2}\,s

We know, since body is starting from the rest

\Delta p=m.v.....................(1)

\Delta p=0.425\times 18

\Delta p=7.65 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

Now the components:

\Delta p_x= 7.65\times cos 30^{\circ}

\Delta p_x= 6.6251 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

similarly

\Delta p_y= 7.65\times sin 30^{\circ}

\Delta p_y= 3.825 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

also, impulse

I=F\times t.........................(2)

where F is the force applied for t time.

Then from eq. (1) & (2)

F\times t=m.v

F\times 5.3\times 10^{-2}= 7.65

F=144.3396\,N

Now, the components

F_x=144.3396\times cos 30^{\circ}

F_x=125.0018\,N

&

F_y=144.3396\times sin 30^{\circ}

F_y=72.1698\,N

Give an example to explain that motion is relative in nature
Maurinko [17]
Consider a long train moving at speed v. Now consider a passenger throwing a ball inside this train, towards the back of the train, with same velocity v (but in the opposite direction of the train movement). 

- A passenger inside the train will see the ball moving with speed v
- For an observer outside the train, however, the ball will appear as still. In fact, for him the ball will have a speed v (given by the movement of the train) -v (velocity of the ball but moving in the opposite direction), so the net velocity will be v+(-v)=0.

Question 24 1 pts Find the voltage in an extension cord having a 0.0600 22 resistance and through which a 5.00A current is flowi
Neporo4naja [7]

The voltage in the extension cord is 30 V.

The problem above can be solved using ohm's law

⇒ Formula:

V = IR.................. Equation 1

⇒ Where:

  • V = Voltage in the extension cord
  • I = Current flowing through the extension cord
  • R = Resistance of the extension cord.

From the question, I think there was a slight error in the value of the current given it suppose to be 500 A, and not 5.00 A

⇒ Given:

  • I = 500 A
  • R = 0.06 ohms

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

  • V = 500(0.06)
  • V = 30 V

Hence the voltage in the extension cord is 30 V
