A net force of 40 N south acts on an object with a mass of 20 kg. What is the

Physics
1 answer:
Murljashka [212]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B. 2m/s² south

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Net force  = 40N

Mass  = 20kg

Unknown:

Acceleration of the object = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use;

            F = ma

F is the net force

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

          a  = \frac{f}{m}  

          a = \frac{40}{20}   = 2m/s²

The acceleration of the object is 2m/s² south

A Submerged Ball Part A A ball of mass mb and volume V is lowered on a string into a fluid of density Pi (Figure 1) Assume that
frozen [14]

Answer:

T = mg -   \rho_f×V×g

Explanation:

Here we have the mass of the ball is given as m_b

The density of the fluid = \rho_f

The volume of the ball = V

Acceleration due to gravity = g

According to Archimedes's principle, the upthrust = Weight of fluid displaced

Tension in string = T = weight of ball - upthrust

T = mg -   \rho_f×V×g

In the diagram below, a 5 kg box is pushed from rest by an applied force of 15N for 22 seconds. What was the impulse caused by t
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

330Ns

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the box  = 5kg

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Force applied  = 15N

Time  = 22s

Unknown:

Impulse  = ?

Final momentum  = ?

Solution:

The impulse of the box can be determined using the expression below:

     Impulse  = Force x time

    Impulse  = 15 x 22 = 330Ns

The final momentum is the same as this impulse

The impulse and the final momentum is 330Ns

A student rapidly rubs the palms of both hands
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Option a

Explanation:

The action of the rapid rubbing of the hands are a result of chemical reaction and responses that takes place inside our body.

When we rub our hands together, that shows the mechanical motion of the body or we can say that while rubbing hands chemical energy gets converted to mechanical energy (here, Kinetic energy).

While rubbing, due to friction, heat is produced and hence we can say that this mechanical energy has transformed to heat energy.

Thus the conversion here is from chemical to mechanical to heat energy.

Three Small Identical Balls Have Charges -3 Times 10^-12 C, 8 Times 10^12 C And 4 Times 10^-12 C Respectively. They Are Brought
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

The charge in each ball will be 3 * 10^-12 C

Explanation:

(Assuming the correct charge of the second ball is 8 * 10^-12)

When the balls are brought in contact, all the charges are split evenly among then.

So first we need to find the total charge combined:

(-3 * 10^-12) + (8 * 10^-12) + (4 * 10^-12) = 9 * 10^-12 C

Then, when the balls are separated, each ball will have one third of the total charge, so in the end they will have the same charge:

(9 * 10^-12) / 3 = 3 * 10^-12 C

So the charge in each ball will be 3 * 10^-12 C
