A child pushes his younger brother with 54 newtons of force, causing him to accelerate at 3.8 m/s/s. Assuming no friction, what

is the mass of the younger brother?

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

While moving a box 10.0 m across the floor, Sam pushes with a force of 150 N to the right. The force friction acting on the box

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:required formula is

W 1=F*S

W1=work done by Sam =?

F=force applied by sam=150N

S=displacement =10m

again

W2=F*S

W2=work done by friction =?

S=displacement =10m

F=friction =25N

W=W1-W2=net work done

Spinning satellites are particularly stable. suppose that the astronauts launching a particular satellite decide to increase its

Crank

Supposing velocity is speed and direction, and momentum is mass*velocity, if the velocity increases by a factor of 5, then so should the momentum regardless of the whole space thing.

Momentum depends on what two factors

IrinaVladis [17]

mass and velocity

Explanation:

Momentum depends on two important factors which are the mass and velocity of a body.

Momentum = mass x velocity

Momentum can be defined as the product of mass and velocity.
It is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and directions.
Momentum is a very important quantity in physics as it shows the impact of a force on another.
The unit is Kgm/s²
It is the same as impulse.

A horizontal spring with spring constant of 9.80 N/m is attached to a block with a mass of 1.20 kg that sits on a frictionless s

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

at certain point displacement and velocity is 0.345 m and 0.54 m/s

Therefore Potential and Kinetic Energy associated is

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

$U=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (0.345)^2$

$U=0.583 J$

Kinetic Energy $K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$k=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times (0.54)^2=0.174 J$

Total Energy $T=U+K=0.583+0.174=0.757 J$

Total Energy is conserved hence at maximum displacement all energy will be Potential energy

$T=\frac{1}{2}kA^2$

where A=maximum displacement

$0.757=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times A^2$

$0.1544=A^2$

$A=0.393 m$

Maximum speed occurs at equilibrium Position where Potential Energy is zero

thus $T=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$0.757=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times v_{max}^2$

$v_{max}=1.123 m/s$

(c)When block is at 0.2 m from Equilibrium speed then its Potential Energy is

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (0.2)^2=0.196 J$

$T=U+K$

$K=0.757-0.196=0.561 J$

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$0.561=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times v^2$

$v=0.966 m/s$
