First we calculate the acceleration of the cart:

a = (v₂ - v₁) / (t)

a = (7 m/s - 3 m/s) / (8 s)

a = 4 m/s / 8 s

a = 0.5 m/s²

Using the Newtons Second Law:

F = m×a

F = (10 kg)(0.5 m/s²)

F = 5 N

<h2>The correct option is C</h2>

A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20m/sec. Find the maximum height ot reaches and the time taken

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The height reached is 20m, The time taken to reach 20m is 2 seconds

Explanation:

Observing the equations of motion we can see that the following equation will be most helpful for this question.

$v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as$

We are given initial velocity, u

We know that the stone will stop at its maximum height, so final velocity, v

Acceleration, a

And we are looking for the displacement (height reached), s

Substitute the values we are given into the equation

$0^{2} = 20^{2} + 2(10)s$

Rearrange for s

$0^{2} -20^{2} =20s$

$-400=20s$

$\frac{-400}{20} =s$

s = -20 (The negative is just showing direction, it can be ignored for now)

The height reached is 20m

Use a different equation to find the time taken

$s = vt - \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Substitute in the values we have

$-20=(0)t - \frac{1}{2} (10)t^{2}$

Rearrange for t

$-20 =0 -5 t^{2}$

$\frac{-20}{-5} =t^{2}$

$4 = t^{2}$

t = 2s

The time taken to reach 20m is 2 seconds

The intensity of the Sun's light in the vicinity of the Earth is about 1000W/m^2. Imagine a spacecraft with a mirrored square sa

NeX [460]

Explanation:

Formula to represent thrust is as follows.

F = $\frac{dP}{dt}$

= $\frac{2p}{dt}$

or, p = $\frac{E}{c}$

$\frac{p}{dt} = \frac{W}{c}$

F = $\frac{2IA}{c}$

= $\frac{2 (1000 W/m^{2})(5.5 \times 10^{3} m)^{2}}{3 \times 10^{8} m/s}$

= 201.67 N

Thus, we can conclude that the thrust is 201.67 N.
