Use newton's second law: net force = m*a

in this case, m is 20kg and a is g. The net Force would be 196 Newtons

Which of the following is an expression of Newton's second law? A. The acceleration of an object is determined by its mass and t

Sav [38]

Answer: A. The acceleration of an object is determined by its mass and the net force acting on it.

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion explains that the acceleration of an object will depend on two vital variables which are the mass of the object and the net force that's acting on it.

It should be noted that the acceleration of the object directly depend on the net force while it depends inversely on the mass. Therefore, when the force that's acting on such object is increased, then the acceleration will increase as well. On the other hand, when there is an increase in mass, there'll be a reduction in the acceleration.

A mail carrier leaves the post ofﬁce and drives 2.00 km to the north. He then drives in a direction 60.0° south of east for 7.00

Oxana [17]

Answer:

12.97 km

Explanation:

In order to find the resultant displacement, we have to resolve each of the 3 displacements along the x and y direction.

Taking north as positive y direction and east as positive x-direction, we have:

- Displacement 1: 2.00 km to the north

$A_x = 0\\A_y = +2.00 km$

- Displacement 2: 60.0° south of east for 7.00 km

$B_x=(7.00)(cos (-45^{\circ}))=4.95 km\\B_y = (7.00)(sin (-45^{\circ}))=-4.95 km$

- Displacement 3: 9.50 km 35.0° north of east

$C_x=(9.50)(cos 35^{\circ})=7.78 km\\C_y=(9.50)(sin 35^{\circ})=5.45 km$

So the net displacement along the two directions is:

$R_x=A_x+B_x+C_x=0+4.95+7.78=12.73 km\\R_y=A_y+B_y+C_y=2.00+(-4.95)+5.45=2.50 km$

So, the distance between the initial and final position is equal to the magnitude of the net displacement:

$R=\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}=\sqrt{12.73^2+2.50^2}=12.97 km$

A spring with spring constant k is suspended vertically from a support and a mass m is attached. The mass is held at the point w

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The oscillation frequency of the spring is 1.66 Hz.

Explanation:

Let m is the mass of the object that is suspended vertically from a support. The potential energy stored in the spring is given by :

$E_s=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

k is the spring constant

x is the distance to the lowest point form the initial position.

When the object reaches the highest point, the stored potential energy stored in the spring gets converted to the potential energy.

$E_P=mgx$

Equating these two energies,

$\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=mgx$

$\dfrac{k}{m}=\dfrac{2g}{x}$ .............(1)

The expression for the oscillation frequency is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{2g}{x}}$ (from equation (1))

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 9.8}{0.18}}$

f = 1.66 Hz

So, the oscillation frequency of the spring is 1.66 Hz. Hence, this is the required solution.

The blades of a metal cutter are shorter than the blades of paper cutter scissor. Give reason

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Metal is a tougher material to cut though, so the blades must be shorter to create more pressure to break through the metal. Paper on the other hand is easier to cut through so the blades can be longer in order to cut more in each snip.
