Answer:

F = 2250 [N]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must first use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2}-2*a*x

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0 (come to rest)

Vo =  initial velocity = 30 [m/s]

a = acceleration or desaceleration [m/s²]

x = distance = 100 [m]

(0)=30^{2} -2*a*100\\900 =  200*a\\a = 4.5 [m/s^{2}]

Now we must use the following equation of kinetics, which is based on Newton's second law that explains that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 500 [kg]

a = acceleration = 4.5 [m/s²]

F = 500*4.5\\F = 2250 [N]

A 40 Watt lightbulb is on for 3 minutes. How many joules of work does it do?
ella [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Power (p)= 40 watt

time (t)= 3 minutes = 180 seconds

Energy (E)= ?

we know

P = E/t

40 = E / 180

E = 7200 Joules

Therefore it does 7200 joules of work.

hope it helps :)

What did ancient astronomers think areas of the moon called mares might be?
Bumek [7]

The ancient astronomers think areas of the moon called mares might be Seas.

Option D  

<u>Explanation</u>:

The surface area of Earth's moon is dark, large, and is basaltic plains which are formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. They were dubbed as Maria, "ancient astronomers" who misunderstood them as actual seas. They are less reflective than highlands. Due to their iron-rich composition, they tend to appear dark from the naked eye. The Maria cover approximately about 16% of surface mostly on side that is visible from Earth. The few Maria on side that is too far are much smaller and residing mostly in very large craters. The ancient astronomers mistook the surface area as look like actual seas.

Silver has a density of 9.32 g/cm cubed. find the length of one side of a 184 g silver cube
Olin [163]

Answer: 2.70 cm

Given:

Density, d=9.32 g/cm^{3}

Mass, m=184 g

Formula Used:

Volume, V = density/mass

=\frac{184g}{9.32g/cm^{3}}\\ \Rightarrow V=19.7 cm^{3} \\ volume of cube = a^{3} where a is the side of the cube

a=19.7cm^{3} \\ \Rightarrow a=(19.7)^{(1/3)}\\ \Rightarrow a=2.70 cm

hence, the length of one side of silver cube is 2.70 cm
