Answer:

After 1 sec = 4.9 m

After 2 sec = 19.6 m

After 3 sec = 44.1 m

After 4 sec =  78.4 m

After 5 sec = 122.5 m

Explanation:

After 1 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=1 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(1) + (1/2)(9.8)(1²) = 4.9m

After 2 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=2 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(2) + (1/2)(9.8)(2²) = 19.6m

After 3 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=3 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(3) + (1/2)(9.8)(3²) = 44.1m

After 4 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=4 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(4) + (1/2)(9.8)(4²) = 78.4m

After 5 sec:

<em>u=0m/s   t=5 s  a=9.8m/s²</em>

s = ut + (1/2)at²

=0(5) + (1/2)(9.8)(5²) = 122.5m

When you apply a horizontal force of 76 N to a block, the block moves across the floor at a constant speed ().When you apply a f
elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we apply a horizontal force of 76 N to a block, the block moves across the floor at a constant speed. So net force on the block is zero .

It implies that a force ( frictional ) acts on it which is equal to 76 N in opposite direction ( friction )

When we apply  a greater force on it it starts moving with acceleration .

This time kinetic friction acts on it due to rough ground equal to 76 N .This is limiting friction ( maximum friction )

Net force on the body in later case

= 89 - 76

= 13 N

Force by ground on the block in horizontal direction = 76 N ( FRICTIONAL FORCE )

A positive kaon (K+) has a rest mass of 494 MeV/c² , whereas a proton has a rest mass of 938 MeV/c². If a kaon has a total energ
vitfil [10]

Answer:

<em>0.85c </em>

Explanation:

Rest mass of Kaon M_{0K} = 494 MeV/c²

Rest mass of proton M_{0P}  = 938 MeV/c²

The rest energy is gotten by multiplying the rest mass by the square of the speed of light c²

for the kaon, rest energy E_{0K} = 494c² MeV

for the proton, rest energy E_{0P} = 938c² MeV

Recall that the rest energy, and the total energy are related by..

E = γE_{0}

which can be written in this case as

E_{K} = γE_{0K} ...... equ 1

where E = total energy of the kaon, and

E_{0} = rest energy of the kaon

γ = relativistic factor = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } }

where \beta = \frac{v}{c}

But, it is stated that the total energy of the kaon is equal to the rest mass of the proton or its equivalent rest energy, therefore...

E_{K} = E_{0P} ......equ 2

where E_{K} is the total energy of the kaon, and

E_{0P} is the rest energy of the proton.

From E_{K} = E_{0P} = 938c²    

equ 1 becomes

938c² = γ494c²

γ = 938c²/494c² = 1.89

γ = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } } = 1.89

1.89\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } = 1

squaring both sides, we get

3.57( 1 - \beta^{2}) = 1

3.57 - 3.57\beta^{2} = 1

2.57 = 3.57\beta^{2}

\beta^{2} = 2.57/3.57 = 0.72

\beta = \sqrt{0.72} = 0.85

but, \beta = \frac{v}{c}

v/c = 0.85

v = <em>0.85c </em>

Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard.
Vikentia [17]
The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the <span>Third law that states:

</span><span>When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
</span>
So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is <span>the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

</span>FA = -FB<span>
