For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.
Here's the equation again:
Force = (mass) x (acceleration)
Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have: Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .
Now the answer jumps out at us: The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.
Because the act of braking is an example of negative acceleration.
Example: if the rate of braking was say 2 meters per second^2, and the starting velocity was 10 m/s, it would take 5 seconds to come to a stop(during those 5 seconds you would still be moving).
Answer:
(a) 37.5 kg
(b) 4
Explanation:
Force, F = 150 N
kinetic friction coefficient = 0.15
(a) acceleration, a = 2.53 m/s^2
According to the newton's second law
Net force = mass x acceleration
F - friction force = m a
150 - 0.15 x m g = m a
150 = m (2.53 + 0.15 x 9.8)
m = 37.5 kg
(b) As the block moves with the constant speed so the applied force becomes the friction force.
Answer:
The extension of a material or a spring is its increase in length when pulled. Hooke’s Law says that the extension of an elastic object is directly proportional to the force applied to it. In other words:
