A 60 kg person sits in a chair. How much does the earth pull on the person? (Acceleration due to gravity is -10m/s2) F = mxa → F

= (60kg) x (-10m/s2) → F= -600N or 600N in the downward direction

Answer:

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Explanations

<em>600N(downwards)</em>

Mas of the person = 60kg

Acceleration due to gravity = -10m/s²

To get the earths pull on the person, we will use the Newton second law of motion;

Force = mass * acceleration;

Force = 60 * -10

Force- -600N

<em>Hence the earth gravitational pull on the person is 600N(downwards). It is downwards due to the negative sign.</em>

A string is stretched and fixed at both ends, 200 cm apart. If the density of the string is 0.015 g/cm, and its tension is 600 N
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

<h2>f₀ = 158.12 Hertz</h2>

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency of the string  f₀ is expressed as f₀ = V/4L where V is the speed experienced by the string.

V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } where T is the tension in the string and  \mu is the density of the string

Given T = 600N and \mu = 0.015 g/cm  = 0.0015kg/m

V = \sqrt{\frac{600}{0.0015} }\\ \\V =  \sqrt{400,000}\\ \\V = 632.46m/s

The next is to get the length L of the string. Since the string is stretched and fixed at both ends, 200 cm apart, then the length of the string in metres is 2m.

L = 2m

Substituting the derived values into the formula f₀ = V/2L

f₀ = 632.46/2(2)

f₀ = 632.46/4

f₀ = 158.12 Hertz

Hence the fundamental frequency of the string is 158.12 Hertz

An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time
Arisa [49]

Explanation:

Distance = (intial speed)X(Time) + 1/2(acceleration)X(Time) [Third equation of motion]

As initial speed is zero, therefore;

Distance = 1/2(acceleration)X(Time)

              = 1/2 (6 X 15)

              = 1/2 (90)

              = 45 meters

Hence, the object traveled 45 meters.

If a vector A has components A. 0, and Ay -0, then the magnitude of the vector is negative. Select one: True False
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The magnitude of any vector is given by,

||A||=\sqrt{A_x^2+A_y^2}

The magnitude of anything is never negative. It can be even seen from the formula that the components are squared. A squared value can never be negative. Even if the component is negative the square will be always positive.

So, magnitude of the vector is <u>not</u> negative.
