Given:

Momentum of the dog (p) = 120.5 kg m/s

Speed of the dog (v) = 5 m/s

To Find:

Mass of the dog (m)

Concept/Theory:

$\underline{\underline{ \bf{\Large{Momentum}}}}$

It is defined as the quantity of motion contained in a body.
It is measured as the product of mass of the body and it's speed.
It is represented by p.
It's SI unit is kg m/s
Mathematical Representation/Equation of Momentum: $\boxed{ \bf{p = mv}}$

Answer:

By using equation of momentum, we get:

$\rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{p}{v} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = \dfrac{120.5}{5} \\ \\ \rm \longrightarrow m = 24.1 \: kg$

$\therefore$ Mass of the dog (m) = 24.1 kg

An upward force of 32.6 N is applied via a string to lift a ball with a mass of 2.8 kg. (a) What is the gravitational force acti

Answer:

a) Fg = -27.4 N

b) Fnet = 5.2 N

c) a = 1.9 m/s2

Explanation:

There are two forces acting on the ball, one directed upward (assuming this direction as positive, along the y-axis) which is the tension on the string (lifting force), and another aimed downward, which is the attractive force due to gravity.
Applying the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation to a mass close to the surface of the Earth (in this case the ball), we can take the acceleration due to gravity like a constant, that we call by convention g, equal to -9.8 m/s2.
So, we can write the following expression for Fg:

$F_{g} = m*g = 2.8 kg*(-9.8m/s2) = -27.4 N (1)$

The net force on the ball, will be just the difference between the lifting force (32.6 N) and the force due to gravity, Fg:

$F_{net} = T -F_{g} = 32.6 N - 27.4 N = 5.2 N (2)$

According Newton's 2nd Law, the acceleration caused by a net force on a point mass (we can take the ball as one) is given by the following expression:

$a = \frac{F_{net} }{m} = \frac{5.2N}{2.8kg} = 1.9 m/s2 (3)$

Answer:

The acceleration is 1 cm/s^2.

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

Here, initial velocity, u = 3/1 = 3 cm/s

final velocity, v = 4/1 = 4 cm/s

time, t = 1 s

Let the acceleration is a.

Use first equation of motion

v = u + at

4 = 3 + 1 x a

a = 1 cm/s^2
