If a 50 N force was applied to a really massive object as well as a tiny object, what can you say

Physics

frozen [14]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The tiny object's acceleration will be much greater.

Explanation:

Because of Newton's second law of motion, (which is F=ma or Force= Mass*acceleration), then if the force maintains the same (which in this case it does, because it says 50 N to both obejcts) and  one mass was much greater than the other, then the ould be less for the more massive object and much greater for the lighter object.

For example:  If 50 N were applied to a 500 kg object and a 50 kg object, then theformulas for each (respectively) are:

50 = 500*acceleration

and

50 = 50*acceleration

(Because of Newtons Second Law of Motion)

Then, solving for the equations, we get for equation 1:

Acceleration = .1 m/s^2

And for equation 2:

Accleration = 1 m/s^2

Thus, you can see that more massive objects (when applied he same amount of force as the smaller object) clearly have less accleration than the smaller objects.

A bike rider approaches a hill with a speed of 8.5 m/s. The total mass of the bike rider is 91kg. What is the kinetic energy of
Anestetic [448]

a) The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is expressed as the product of half of the mass (m) of the object and the square of its velocity (v²):

KE = \frac{1}{2}m* v^{2}

It is given:

v = 8.5 m/s

m = 91 kg

So:

KE= \frac{1}{2}*91*8.5^{2} =3,287.4J


b) We can calculate height by using the formula for potential energy (PE):
PE = m*g*h

In this case, h is eight, and PE is the same as KE:
PE = KE = 3,287.4 J

m = 91 kg

g = 9.81 m/s² - gravitational acceleration

h = ? - height


Now, let's replace those:

3,287.4= 91 * 9.81 * h

⇒ h = 3,287.4/(91*9.81) = 3,287.4/892.7 = 3.7 m

On which date is the gravitational force between Earth and the moon the greatest?
Genrish500 [490]

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.

Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.

But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.

3. Identify three elements and three compounds. How are they<br> similar? How are they different?
Basile [38]

Answer:  A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. When the elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are composed of.
