A physical science teacher wants to demonstrate Newton's laws. She has 2 skateboards and takes them out to a flat parking lot. T

wo students are chosen. Kayla weighs 125 pounds and Steve weighs 175 pounds. Both push off a car with the same force. Which BEST describes the relationship between acceleration and mass?
A Kayla will have a smaller acceleration because she has more mass.
B Steve will have a larger acceleration because he has more mass

C Kayla will have a larger acceleration because she has less mass.

The tallest Ferris wheel in the world is located in Singapore. Standing 42 stories high and holding as many as 780 passengers, t
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The speed of the riders on the Singapore Flyer is approximately 0.262 m/s

Explanation:

The dimensions of the tallest Ferris wheel in the world are;

The diameter of the Ferris wheel, D = 150 m

The tine it takes the Ferris wheel to make a full circle, T = 30 minutes = 30 min × 60 s/min = 1,800 seconds

The angular velocity of the Ferris wheel, ω = 2·π/T

The linear velocity of the Ferris wheel, v = r·ω = The speed of the riders

Where;

r = The radius of the Ferris wheel = D/2

D = 150 m

∴ r = 150 m/2 = 75 m

∴ v = r·2·π/T

∴ v = 75 m × 2 × π/(1,800 s) ≈ 0.262 m/s

The speed of the riders on the Singapore Flyer, v ≈ 0.262 m/s

A 3 kg ball rolls off a 33 m high cliff, and lands 23 m from the base of the cliff. Express the displacement and the gravitation
Leni [432]

Answer:

F=<0,-29.4,0>N

D = <0,-10,0>m

Work=F·D=294 Joules

Explanation:

Force:

The gravity has a negative direction in the axis Y in our coordinate system:

F=<0,-mg,0>=<0,-3*9.8,0>=<0,-29.4,0>N

Displacement:

The initial position A is <0, 33, 0>m

The final position B is <0, 23,0>m

The displacement vector is D=B-A = <0,-10,0>m

Gravitational Work:

The work is the scalar product between the force and the displacement

Work=F·D=(-29.4)*(-10)=294 Joules

11 An unstretched spring is 12,0 cm long. A load of 5.0N stretches it to 15.0cm. How long will it be under a load
Rom4ik [11]

Answer: Approximately 22 cm

=========================================================

Explanation:

The unstretched spring is 12.0 cm long. When adding a load of 5.0 N, it stretches to 15.0 cm. This is a displacement of 15.0 - 12.0 = 3.0 cm, which is the amount the spring is stretched.

Convert this displacement to meters (so that it fits with the meters unit buried in Newtons).

3.0 cm = (3.0)/100 = 0.03 m

Apply Hooke's Law to find the spring constant k

F = -kx

5.0 = -k*(0.03)

k = -(5.0)/(0.03)

k = -166.667 approximately

Now we must find the displacement x when F = 15 newtons

F = -kx

-kx = F

x = F/(-k)

x = -F/k

x = -15/(-166.667)

x = 0.089 approximately

x = 0.1

The displacement to one decimal place is about 0.1 meters, which converts to 100*0.1 = 10 cm

So the spring will be stretched to about 12cm+10cm = 22 cm

nordsb [41]
Look at the rock sitting on the hill in the picture above. Gravity should make the rock slide down the hill. What force is acting to balance gravity,keeping the rock in place? - D. friction
Centripetal force and momentum have to do with movement. Gravity cannot balance gravity.
