Only two horizontal forces act on a 3.0 kg body that can move over a frictionless floor. one force is 9.0 n, acting due east, an

d the other is 9.2 n, acting 58° north of west. what is the magnitude of the body's acceleration?

The first thing you should do for this case is to find the horizontal and vertical components of the forces acting on the body.
 We have then:
 Horizontal = 9-9.2cos (58) = 4.124742769 N.
 Vertical = 9.2sin (58) = 7.802042485 N
 Then, the resulting net force is:
 F = √ ((4.124742769) ^ 2 + (7.802042485) ^ 2) = 8.825268826 N
 Then by definition:
 F = m * a
 Clearing the acceleration:
 a = F / m
 a = (8.825268826) / (3.0) = 2.941756275 m / s ^ 2
 answer:
 The magnitude of the body's acceleration is
 2.941756275 m / s ^ 2

An ice skater spins at 2.5 rev/s when his arms are extended. He draws his arms in and spins at 10.0 rev/s. By what factor does h
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Given;

initial angular velocity of the ice skater, ω₁ = 2.5 rev/s

final angular velocity of the  ice skater, ω₂ = 10.0 rev/s

During this process we assume that angular momentum is conserved;

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Where;

I₁ is the initial moment of inertia

I₂ is the final moment of inertia

I_2 = \frac{I_1 \omega_1}{\omega_2} = \frac{I_1*2.5}{10} \\\\I_2 = 0.25I_1 = \frac{1}{4}I_1

Therefore, the moment of inertia decreased by a factor of 4

Is it accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Yes, it is <span>accurate to describe the physical universe as composed of only matter and energy. Some people might argue about the dark matter, but it is not yet defined properly. Different universes can be made up of different compositions but it is a fact that our universe is made of matter and energy. </span>
