Answer:

(a) 4.75 m/s² (b) 7.6 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a lab cart, m = 1.6 kg

Initial speed, u = 0.5 m/s

Final speed, v = 4.3 m/s

Time, t = 0.8 s

(a) The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity. It can be calculated as :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{4.3-0.5}{0.8}\\\\a=4.75\ m/s^2$

(b) Let F be the net force on the cart. It can be given by :

F = ma

$F=1.6\times 4.75\\\\F=7.6\ N$

Hence, this is the required solution.

The figure below shows a man in a boat on a lake. The man's mass is 74 kg, and the boat's is 135 kg. The man and boat are initia

vazorg [7]

The velocity of the boat after the package is thrown is 0.36 m/s.

<h3>Final velocity of the boat</h3>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Pi = Pf

where;

Pi is initial momentum
Pf is final momentum

v(74 + 135) = 15 x 5

v(209) = 75

v = 75/209

v = 0.36 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the boat after the package is thrown is 0.36 m/s.

When are magnets attracted and when are they repelled.

vova2212 [387]

Magnets are attracted when each of the different sides, most commonly known as "North" and "South", are facing each other. They repel when North and North, or South and South are facing each other.

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis

arlik [135]

The kinetic energy of the electron is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where $m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, $K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J$ , we can find the value of the speed v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} } = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s$

Is the frictional force the same as the applied force when the net force equals zero?

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Since the net force is to the right (in the direction of the applied force), then the applied force must be greater than the friction force. The friction force can be determined using an understanding of net force as the vector sum of all the forces.

A person travelled in the -x direction at a constant speed of 2.5 m/s. The person's final position is -10.0 m, and the initial p

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have given the final position = -10 m on x axis

And the initial position =10 m

So total distance = 10-(-10)=20 m

The speed is given as 2.5 m/sec

We have tof ind the time required by the person to travel

Time is given by $t=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{20}{2.5}=8 sec$

So the option (c) is correct option
