1. Define Newtons second law of motion (this will help put things into perspective)
2.Get the mass of the object (in this case 75 kg)
3.The net force acting on the object...find it (in this case 500 N)
4.Change the equation to F=ma (500=75a)
5.Divide both sides by 75 and that is the acceleration.
A small 20-kg canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 2 m/s. 40 J is the canoe’s kinetic energy.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:</u>
The given canoe has the mass and is being given to move at a speed. Therefore the kinetic energy of the canoe can be calculated using the following method,
Given that mass of the canoe = 20 kg and its speed =1 m/s
As we know that the Kinetic energy has the formula,

Therefore, substituting the value into the equation, we get,
= 40 J
Answer:
2.5 m/s²
Explanation:
Using the formula, v = u + at ( v = Final velocity; u = Initial velocity; t = Time; a = Acceleration)
25 = 0 + 10a
a = 25/10 = 2.5 m/s²
Answer:

Explanation:
consider the mass of each train car be m
m₁ = m₂ = m₃ = m
speed of the three identical train
u₁ = u₂ = u₃ = 1.8 m/s
m₄ = m u₄ = 4.5 m/s
m₅ = m u₅ = 0 (initial velocity )
final velocity
v₁ = v₂ = v₃ = v₄ = v₅ = v
using conservation of momentum
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ + m₃u₃ + m₄u₄ + m₅u₅ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ + m₃v₃ + m₄v₄ + m₅v₅
m (1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8 +4.5) = 5 m v
