Answer:

a = 30 m/s²

Explanation:

Given: 250 kg, 7500N

To find: Acceleration (a)

Solution: To find the acceleration (A), divide the force by the weight

A = F ÷ m

= 7500 ÷ 250

= 30 m/s²

Newtons are derived units, equal to 1 kg-m/s². In other words, a single Newton is equal to the force needed to accelerate one kilogram one meter per second squared.

Calculate the size of the image of a tree that is 8m high and 80 m a pinhole camera that is 20 cm long . what is its magnificati

Vladimir79 [104]

1) Size of the image: 2 cm

In order to calculate the size of the image, we can use the following proportion:

$p:q = h_o : h_i$

where

p = 80 m is the distance of the tree from the pinhole

q = 20 cm = 0.2 m is the distance of the image from the pinhole

$h_o$ = 8 m is the heigth of the object

$h_i$ is the height of the image

By re-arranging the proportion, we find

$h_i = \frac{h_o \cdot q}{p}=\frac{(8 m)(0.2 m)}{80 m}=0.02 m=2 cm$

2) Magnification: 0.0025

The magnification of a camera is given by the ratio between the size of the image and the size of the real object:

$M=\frac{h_i}{h_o}$

so, in this problem we have

$M=\frac{0.02 m}{8 m}=0.0025$

During the last shot of the game, the basketball goes from rest to 15 m/s and reaches the backboard in 0.41 s. What was the acce

Anna [14]

Answer: a= 37m

Explanation: V= 15 m/s (Velocity) t= 0.41s (time) formula: a= v/t

15 m/s / 0.41 (15 divided by 0.41) = 36.583m

There are 2 significant digits, 36, you look at the third digit, either round up or down in this case up to 36. a= 37m
