What is the relationship between the mass of an object and the force needed to slide it across a surface

Physics

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]3 years ago

The relationship between force (F), mass (m) and acceleration (a) is described in the equation F = ma. This equation means that a new force acting on a body will change velocity, and conversely, a change in velocity will generate a force

A 70.0-kg skier is sliding at 4 m/s when they slide down a 2m high hill. At the bottom of the hill they run into a large 2800 N/
Katarina [22]

Answer:

\Delta x=245\ mm

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of skier, m=70\ kg
  • initial velocity of skier, u=4\ m.s^{-1}
  • height of the hill, h=2\ m
  • spring constant, k=2800\ N.m^{-1}

<u>final velocity of skier before coming in contact of spring:</u>

Using eq. of motion:

v^2=u^2+gh

v^2=4^2+9.8\times 2

v=5.9666\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Now the time taken by the skier to reach down:</u>

v=u+gt

5.9666=4+9.8\ t

t=0.2007\ s

<u>Now we calculate force using Newton's second law:</u>

F=\frac{dp}{dt}

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}

F=\frac{70\times(5.9666-4)}{0.2007}

F\approx686\ N

<u>∴Compression in spring before the skier momentarily comes to rest:</u>

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}

\Delta x=\frac{686}{2800}

\Delta x=0.245\ m

\Delta x=245\ mm

Two small plastic spheres are given positive electrical charges. When they are 16.0 cm apart, the repulsive force between them h
Drupady [299]

Answer:

q = 7.542 x 10⁻⁷ C = 754.2 nC

Explanation:

The Coulomb's Law gives the magnitude of the force of attraction or repulsion between two charges:

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where,

F = Force of attraction or repulsion = 0.2 N

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

r = distance between charges = 16 cm = 0.16 m

q₁ = magnitude of 1st charge

q₂ = magnitude of 2nd charge

Since, both charges are said to be equal here.

q₁ = q₂ = q

Therefore,

0.2 N = (9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²)q²/(0.16 m)²

(0.2 N)(0.16 m)²/(9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²) = q²

q = √(5.88 x 10⁻¹³ C²)

<u>q = 7.542 x 10⁻⁷ C = 754.2 nC</u>

The point on the graph is above or below the 3rd division on the x-axis.  But that's all we know, since you've told us nothing about the motion.

An electric generator converts kinetic energy into which kind of energy?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Electrical Energy

Explanation:

An electric generator is a device that changes kinetic energy to electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating electric current with a magnetic field. ... Because the coil is rotating in a magnetic field, electric current is generated in the wire.
