Explanation:

acceleration = 8/3.2 = 2.5m/s² ( acceleration due to gravity = g ).

mass = 85 kg.

weight = mg = 85×2.5 = 212.5N .

hope this helps you.

A disk of radius R = 11 cm is pulled along a frictionless surface with a force of F = 16 N by a string wrapped around the edge.A
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: 1.76 Nm

Explanation:

If the force pulls horizontally, this means that the force is tangent to the disk at any point of the string unwinding process, so the distance d is irrelevant.

In this case, the torque is directly given by the product of the force times the distance perpendicular to the center of the disk, which is just the radius, as follows:

τ = F * r = 16 N. (0.11) m = 1.76 Nm

Initially stationary, a train has a constant acceleration of 0.8 m/s2. (a) What is its speed after 27 s? m/s (b) What is the tot
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

(a) v1 = 21.6 m/s

(b) t = 51.25 s

Explanation:

Use kinematics equation

v1 = v0 + at

Given

v0 = 0 = initial velocity

a = 0.8 m/s^2 = acceleration

(a) t = 27 seconds

v1 = v0 + at = 0 + 0.8*27 = 21.6 m/s

(b) v1 = 41 m/s

v1 = v0 + at

solve for t

t = (v1-v0)/a = (41-0)/0.8 = 51.25 s
