Answer:

The person is on the Moon having a weight of 500 N. The acceleration of gravity on the Moon is approximately 1.6 m/s2. What is your his, which includes his space suit?

f= Force (of gravity)=500N

g=acceleration of gravity=1.6m/s^2

m=mass=312kg

m=f/a= 500N/1.6 m/s^2 = 500 (kg-m/1.6m/s^2) = 500/1.6kg = 312kg

his mass is 312kg

A block has two strings attached to it on opposite ends. One string has a force of 5 N,

juin [17]

Unless you have a diagram to include or any other additional info, I'll assume the block is being pulled by two opposing forces along the horizontal surface.

Horizontally, the block is under the influence of

• one rope pulling in one direction with magnitude 15 N,

• the other rope pulling in the opposite direction with mag. 5 N, and

• friction, opposing the direction of the block's motion, with mag. 3 N.

It stands to reason that the block is accelerating in the direction of the larger pulling force.

(A) By Newton's second law, we have

15 N + (-5 N) + (-3 N) = m (1 m/s²)

where m is the mass of the block. Solve for m :

7 N = m (1 m/s²)

m = (7 N) / (1 m/s²)

m = 7 kg

(B) The friction force is proportional to the normal force, so that if f is the mag. of friction and n is the mag. of the normal force, then f = µ n where µ is the coefficient of friction.

The block does not bounce up and down, so its vertical forces are balanced, which means the normal force and the block's weight (mag. w) cancel out:

n + (-w) = 0

n = w

n = m g

where g = 9.8 m/s² is the mag. of the acceleration due to gravity.

n = (7 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

n = 68.6 N

Then

3 N = µ (68.6 N)

µ = (3 N) / (68.6 N)

µ ≈ 0.044

At a playground, a child slides down a slide that makes a 42° angle with the horizontal direction. The coefficient of kinetic fr

kumpel [21]

Answer:

$a = 5.1\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given,

The angle of the slide= $42^\circ$

The mass of the child is= m

coefficient of friction = 0.20

when she slides down now apply Newton's law

$ma =mg \sin\theta - f$

$ma = mg\sin \theta -\mu mg \cos \theta$

therefore the acceleration

$a=g \sin\theta -\mu gcos\theta$

$a=g[\sin \theta -\mu \cos \theta]$

$a=9.8\times [\sin 42^\circ -0.2\times \cos 42^\circ]$

$a = 5.1\ m/s^2$

hence, the magnitude of acceleration during her sliding is equal to $a = 5.1\ m/s^2$

suppose that a large cargo truck needs to cross a bridge. the truck is 30 m long and 3.2 m wide. the cargo exerts a force nof 54

Tamiku [17]

No, because the truck applies more pressure than the bridge can support.

What type of change accurs when a substance stays the same

Thepotemich [5.8K]

This would be a physical change because it can change back to its original form. This is like ripping paper. You can piece it back together and it still is paper.

The opposite of this is chemical change. Chemical change means the product has been changed completely like burning paper. The paper has now been turned to ash and it's impossible to change this back to its original form.

Which of the following is not a part of the modern theory of evolution?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

D) Evolution proceeds in the direction desired by members of a generation is not the modern theory of evolution.

Evolution can not proceed in the direction as desire by the members of the generation as No matter how hard you and your friends wish that your children will be born with the ability to fly unassisted, the kids will have to use airlines like the rest of us. All the rest of these contribute to evolution
