Answer:

force normal = mass times acceleration

F=ma

54= m (3.8)

divide by 3.8 in both sides

54/3.8

mass of the little brother is 14.2 kg

A train travels due south at 20 m/s. It reverses its direction and travels due north at 20 m/s. What is the change in velocity o

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

40 m/s due north

Explanation:

Consider that the south direction a negative Y axis and north direction as + Y axis

v1 = 20 m/s South = 20 (-j) m/s

v2 = 20 m/s North = 20 j m/s

Change in velocity = v2 - v1 = 20 j - 20 (-j) = 40 j m/s

So, change in velocity is 40 m/s due north.

An explosion occurs 34 km away. the time it takes for its sound to reach your ears, traveling at 340 m/s, is

Murrr4er [49]

Let's convert the distance in meters first:
$d=34 km=34000 m=3.4 \cdot 10^4 m$
The sound wave travels at speed
$v=340 m/s$
So we can use the basic relationship between space, time and velocity to calculate the time it takes for the sound to reach our ears:
$t= \frac{S}{v}= \frac{3.4 \cdot 10^4 m}{340 m/s}=100 s$

On April 15, 1999, a South Korean cargo plane crashed due to a confusion over units. The plane was to fly from Shanghai, China,

sattari [20]

Answer:

993 m or 3257 ft

Explanation:

The captain was told to fly at at 1500 ft altitude. At the rate of 3.28 ft to 1 m, this is

$\dfrac{1500}{3.28}=457$ metres.

Since he was at 1450 m, he thought he was above the correct altitude by

1450 - 457 = 993 m.

In feet, this is

993 * 3.28 = 3257 ft

What is the kinetic energy of a 145 g baseball moving at 42 m/s?

klio [65]

Answer:
Kinetic energy = 127.89 Joules

Explanation:
Kinetic energy is calculated using the following rule:
KE = (1/2)*v* v^2
Where:
m is the mass = 145 g = 0.145 kg
v is the velocity = 42 m/sec

Substitute in the above equation to get the kinetic energy as follows:
KE = (0.5)(0.145)(42)^2
Kinetic energy = 127.89 Joules

Hope this helps :)
