Answer:

<h3>The answer is 4 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 2 × 2

We have the final answer as

A 0.12 kg bird is flying at a constant speed of 7.8 m/s. what is the birds conetic energy?

lana [24]

KE=1/2mv^2 - equation for kinetic energy
KE=(1/2)(0.12 kg)((7.8 m/s)^2 - plug it into the formula
KE=(0.06 kg)(60.84 m/s) - multiply 1/2 to the mass and square the speed
KE= 3.7 J - answer
Hope this helps

Object A of mass 0.70 kg travels horizontally on a frictionless surface at 20 m/s. It collides with object B, which is initially

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

25.71 kgm/s

Explanation:

Let K₁ and K₂ be the initial and final kinetic energies of object A and v₁ and v₂ its initial and final speeds.

Given that K₂ = 0.7K₁

1/2mv₂² = 0.7(1/2mv₁²)

v₂ = √0.7v₁ = √0.7 × 20 m/s = ±16.73 m/s

Since A rebounds, its velocity = -16.73 m/s and its momentum change, p₂ = mΔv = m(v₂ - v₁) = 0.7 kg (-16.73 - 20) m/s = 0.7( -36.73) = -25.71 kgm/s.

Th magnitude of object A's momentum change is thus 25.71 kgm/s

A car slows down uniformly from a speed of 30.0 m/s to rest in 7.20 s

Ede4ka [16]

When acceleration is constant, the average velocity is given by

$\bar v=\dfrac{v+v_0}2$

where $v$ and $v_0$ are the final and initial velocities, respectively. By definition, we also have that the average velocity is given by

$\bar v=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\dfrac{x-x_0}{t-t_0}$

where $x,x_0$ are the final/initial displacements, and $t,t_0$ are the final/initial times, respectively.

Take the car's starting position to be at $t_0=0\,\mathrm s$ . Then

$\dfrac{v+v_0}2=\dfrac{x-x_0}t\implies x=x_0+\dfrac12(v+v_0)t$

So we have

$x=0\,\mathrm m+\dfrac12\left(0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}+30.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)(7.20\,\mathrm s)=108\,\mathrm m$

You also could have first found the acceleration using the equation

$v=v_0+at$

then solve for $x$ via

$x=x_0+v_0t+\dfrac12at^2$

but that would have involved a bit more work, and it turns out we didn't need to know the precise value of $a$ anyway.

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

$4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m$

Explanation:

When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.

In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$
