A man pushed a cabinet with a force of 200N. What is the mass of the cabinet that accelerates 4 m/s/s?​

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 50 \ kg}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a cabinet, given the force and acceleration. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration. The formula for this is:

F= m \times a

The force is 200 Newtons, but we should convert the units to make unit cancellation easier. 1 Newton is equal to 1 kilogram meter per second squared, so the force of 200 Newtons is 200 kilogram meters per second squared.

The mass is unknown and the acceleration is 4 meters per second per second or 4 meters per second squared.

  • F= 200 kg*m/s²
  • a= 4 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

200 \ kg *m/s^2 = m \times 4 \ m/s^2

We are solving for the mass, m, so we must isolate the variable. It is being multiplied by 4 meters per second squared. The inverse operation of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4 m/s²

\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}= \frac{m \times 4\ m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2}

\frac {200 \ kg *m/s^2}{4 \ m/s^2} =m

The units of meters per second squared cancel.

\frac {200 \ kg }{4 }=m

50 \ kg =m

The mass of the cabinet is <u>50 kilograms.</u>

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along an x axis is given as 5 x 10-12 m. What is the least uncertainty in any sim
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The least uncertainty in the momentum component px is 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹.

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the uncertainty in the position of an electron (σx) and the uncertainty in its linear momentum (σpx) are complementary variables and are related through the following expression.

σx . σpx ≥ h/4π

where,

h is the Planck´s constant

If σx = 5 × 10⁻¹²m,

5 × 10⁻¹²m . σpx ≥ 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ kg.m².s⁻¹/4π

σpx ≥ 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 80.5 N, Jill pulls with 81.7 N in the
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

F = 233.52 N,  θ' = 351.41º

Explanation:

In this exercise we must find the net force applied on the donkey.

For this we use Newton's second law, where we create a reference frame with the horizontal x axis

let's decompose the forces

Jack

        = 80.5 N

Jill

       cos 45 = F_{2x} / F₂2

       sin 45 = F_{2y} / F₂2

       F_{2x} = F₂ cos 45

       F_{2y} = F₂ sin 45

       F_{2x} = 81.7 cos 45 = 57.77 N

       F_{2y} = 81.7 sin 45 = 57.77 N

Jane

      cos (270 + 45) = F_{3x} / F₃3

      sin 315 = F_{3y} / F₃

      F_{3x} = 131 cos 315 = 92.63 N

      F_{3y} = 131 sin 315 = -92.63 N

the force can be found in each axis

X axis

         F_{x} = F_{1x} + F_{2x} + F_{3x}

         F_{x} = 80.5 +57.77 + 92.63

         F_{x} = 230.9 N

Axis y

         F_{y} = F_{1y} + F_{2y} + F_{3y}

         F_{y} = 0 + 57.77 -92.63

         F_{y} = -34.86 N

we can give the result in two ways

a) F = (230.9 i ^ - 34.86 j ^) N

b) in the form of module and angle

we use the Pythagorean theorem

         F = √(Fₓ² + F_{y}²

        F = √(230.9² + 34.86²)

        F = 233.52 N

let's use trigonometry for the angle

        tan θ = \frac{F_y}{F_x} }

        θ = tan⁻¹ (\frac{F_y}{F_x} })

        θ = tan⁻¹ (-34.86 / 230.9)

        θ = -8.59º

if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x-axis counterclockwise

          θ' = 360 -θ

          θ‘= 360- 8.59

          θ' = 351.41º

If I turn on a light in a spaceship traveling 1C BACKWARDS, what happens to the photons? Speed -0-, or 1C in opposite direction?
Advocard [28]

If the spaceship's Physicist happens to be hanging out of one side
of the ship, and he measures the speed of the photons as they pass
him and leave the ship, he'll see them passing him at 'c' ... the speed
of light.

When those photons pass somebody who happens to be in their
path, and he decides to measure their speed, he'll see them move
past him at 'c' ... the speed of light.
 
It doesn't matter whether the observer who measures them is
moving, or at what speed.

And it doesn't matter what source the photons come from, or
whether the source is moving, or at what speed.

And it doesn't matter what the photons' wavelength/frequency is ...
anything from radio to gamma rays.

The photons pass everybody at 'c' ... the speed of light.

Yes, I hear you.  That can't be true. It's crazy.
Maybe it's crazy, but it's true.
