What force will accelerate a 20 kg object at 4 m/s 2? *

Physics
1 answer:
bearhunter [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

80 N

Explanation:

mass = 20 kg

acceleration = 4 m/s^2

Force = mass * acceleration

         = 20 *4  

         = 80 N

explain why the different thermal conductivities of metal and plastic are important in the design of the bowl.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

metal conducts heat faster than wood. which means the metal conducted heat away from your hand (or whatever it is) faster than wood.

Explanation:

just because they feel warm/cold doesn't always mean that it is warm/cold. if they both were sitting at room temp for a long time, then both will eventually reach the temp of the room. even though they are the same temp the metal will feel colder than the wood because of the thermal conductivity of the metal compared to the wood.

A 100-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 2RE .
maria [59]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

F_g = F_c

\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}

\frac{GM}{r} = v^2

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}

v = 4564.42m/s

From the speed it is possible to use find the formula, so

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

T = \frac{2\pi (6.371*10^6)}{4564.42}

T = 8770.05s\approx 146min\approx 2.4hour

Therefore the orbital period of the spacecraft is 2 hours and 24 minutes.

PART B) To find the kinetic energy we simply apply the definition of kinetic energy on the ship, which is

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

KE = \frac{1}{2} (100)(4564.42)^2

KE = 1.0416*10^9J

Therefore the kinetic energy of the Spacecraft is 1.04 Gigajules.

What is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Photopolymerization is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light

Explanation:

It the process through which a photopolymer reacts to the radiations in presence of the Ultra-violet light. Photopolymers refers to those materials and liquid or the plastic resins that are hardened in presence of light source such as the lasers or the lamps. When these materials are irradiated, they undergo chemical reactions and they are hardened and become solid, and hence the process called photopolymerization. Photopolymerization is majorly used in the coating and printing industries and in also in dentistry to fill the top of teeth and prevent the cavities

A 41 kg girl and a 5.0 kg sled are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, 15 m apart but connected by a rope of negligible ma
goldfiish [28.3K]

(a) 0.8 m/s^2

The force exerted on the sled is F = 4.0 N. We can calculate the acceleration of the sled by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 5.0 kg is the mass of the sled

a is the acceleration of the sled

Solving the equation for a, we find:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{4.0 N}{5.0 kg}=0.8 m/s^2

(b) 0.098 m/s^2

According to Newton's third law (action-reaction law), since the girl exerts a force on the sled, then the sled exerts an equal and opposite force on the girl as well. This means that the force exerted on the girl is also F = 4.0 N. As before, we can calculate the acceleration of the girl by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

m = 41 kg is the mass of the girl

a is the acceleration of the girl

Solving the equation for a, we find:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{4.0 N}{41 kg}=0.098 m/s^2

(c) 5.8 s

Taking the initial position of the girl as x = 0, the position at time t of the girl is given by:

x(t)=\frac{1}{2}a_g t^2

where a_g = 0.098 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the girl.

The sled starts instead its motion from x = 15 m, so its position at time t is given by

x'(t)=15-\frac{1}{2}a_s t^2

where a_s=0.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the sled, and the negative sign is due to the fact that the sled accelerates in opposite direction to the girl's acceleration.

The girl and the sled meet when x(t) = x'(t). So, we find:

\frac{1}{2}a_g t^2=15-\frac{1}{2}a_s t^2\\(a_g+a_s) t^2=30 m\\t=\sqrt{\frac{30 m}{a_g+a_s}}=\sqrt{\frac{30 m}{0.8 m/s^2+0.098 m/s^2}}=5.8 s
