The S.I. unit for the measure of the pressure is the Pascal (Pa). 1 Pascal corresponds to
We can convert the number given by the problem into Pascal:
And since
, we have
I need to force in order to answer. What is it
Answer:
0.31 m
Explanation:
m = mass of the block = 1.5 kg
H = height from which the block is released on ramp = 0.81 m
k = spring constant of the spring = 250 N/m
x = maximum compression of the spring
using conservation of energy
Spring potential energy gained by spring = Potential energy lost by block
(0.5) k x² = mgH
(0.5) (250) x² = (1.5) (9.8) (0.81)
x = 0.31 m
Answer:
If the force remains the same, the acceleration would decrease
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object is given by
where
F is the force applied to the object
m is the mass of the object
As we see from the formula, the acceleration a is inversely proportional to the mass, m. Therefore, if the force F remains constant, this means that if the mass of the skateboarder increases, then the acceleration will decrease.
