A 100 kg bag of sand has a weight on 100 N. When dropped its acceleration is what?

Physics
1 answer:
Anettt [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The acceleration of the bag of sand is 1\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a bag of sand is 100 kg

Weight of the bag of sand is 100 N

It is required to find the acceleration of the bag when it is dropped. The weight of an object is given by :

F =ma

When it is dropped, a = g

g=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\g=\dfrac{100}{100}\\\\g=1\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the bag of sand is 1\ m/s^2.

A student of weight 652 N rides a steadily rotating Ferris wheel (the student sits upright). At the highest point, the magnitude
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of person W=652\ N

At highest point Magnitude of the normal force F=585\ N

net force at highest point

F_{net}=W+F_c

where F_c= centripetal force

F_c=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F_{net}=F_{n}= Normal Force

585=652+F_c

F_c=-67\ N

Negative sign shows force is in upward direction

At bottom point centripetal force is towards the bottom

F_n=F_c+W

F_n=652+67

F_n=719\ N

Which best describes why Keplers observation of planetary motion is a law instead of a theory
svet-max [94.6K]

Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.

4. How much work is done when you lift a 25 N box up to a 2 m shelf?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

<h2>50 J</h2>

Explanation:

The work done by an object can be found by using the formula

workdone = force × distance

From the question

force = 25 N

distance = 2 m

We have

workdone = 25 × 2 = 50

We have the final answer as

<h3>50 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
