The earth exerts a force of 500 newtons on an object what is the mass of the object in kg

Physics

guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago
5 0

 Weight (that's what the 500 N is) = (mass) x (gravity) .

On Earth, gravity = about 9.8 m/s² , so

                                 500 N = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²) .

Divide each side by 9.8 m/s²: 

                                 Mass = (500 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

                                          =    51 kg  (rounded) .

A 4.0 kg mass is attached to a spring whose spring constant is 950 N/m. It oscillates with an amplitude of 0.12 m. What is the m
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

velocity = 2.62m/s

Explanation:

950= (4 x A)/0.12

950 x 0.12 = 4 x A

114 = 4 x A

A = 114/4

A = 28.5m/s²

  • U²=2as
  • U² = 2 x 28.5 x 0.12
  • U² = 6.84
  • U = √6.84
  • U = 2.62m/s

In January 2004, NASA landed exploration vehicles on Mars. Part of the descent consisted of the following stages:
fenix001 [56]

Acceleration is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

Let's apply the formula to the different parts of the problem:

A) -20.5 m/s^2

Let's convert the quantities into SI units first:

u = 19300 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 5361.1 m/s

v=1600 km/h  \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}  =444.4 m/s

t = 4.0 min = 240 s

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{444.4 m/s-5361.1 m/s}{240 s}=-20.5 m/s^2

B) -3.8 m/s^2

As before, let's convert the quantities into SI units first:

u = 444.4 m/s

v=321 km/h  \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}  =89.2 m/s

t = 94 s

So the acceleration is

a=\frac{89.2 m/s - 444.4 m/s}{94 s}=-3.8 m/s^2

C) -53.0 m/s^2

For this part we have to use a different formula:

v^2 - u^2 = 2ad

where we have

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 89.2 m/s is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

d = 75 m is the distance covered

Solving for a, we find

a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2d}=\frac{0^2-(89.2 m/s)^2}{2(75 m)}=-53.0 m/s^2
