Answer:

F = 1200 N

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Forces</u>

Newton's Second Law of Motion: F = ma

F is force (in N)
m is mass (in kg)
a is acceleration (in m/s²)

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify variables</em>

<em>m</em> = 300 kg

<em>a</em> = 4 m/s²

<u>Step 2: Find Force</u>

Substitute in variables [Newton's Second Law of Motion]: F = (300 kg)(4 m/s²)
Multiply: F = 1200 N

the nucleus and the subatomic particles in the nucleus, what is the charge of the nucleus of an atom?

pychu [463]

The Nucleus contains Protons and Neutrons.

The Neutrons does not have a charge.

The Protons are positively charge.

Hence the charge on the Nucleus, would be the charge of the proton, which is positive.

Hence Nucleus is Positively Charged.

A van starts off 152 miles directly north from the city of Springfield. It travels due east at a speed of 25 miles per hour. Aft

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

12.84 miles per hour

Explanation:

Given:

Vertical distance of starting point of van from Springfield (d) = 152 miles

Speed in east direction (s) = 25 mph

Distance traveled in east direction (e) = 91 miles

Let the direct distance from Springfield of the van be 'x' at any time 't'.

Now, from the question, it is clear that, the vertical distance of van is fixed at 152 miles and only the horizontal distance is changing with time.

Now, consider a right angled triangle SNE representing the given situation.

Point S represents Springfield, N represents the starting point of van and E represents the position of van at any time 't'.

SN = d = 152 miles (fixed)

Now, using the pythagorean theorem, we have:

$SE^2=SN^2+NE^2\\\\x^2=d^2+e^2\\\\x^2=(152)^2+e^2----(1)$

Now, differentiating both sides with respect to time 't', we get:

$2x\frac{dx}{dt}=0+2e\frac{de}{dt}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{e}{x}\frac{de}{dt}$

Now, we are given speed as 25 mph. So, $\frac{de}{dt}=25\ mph$

Also, when $e=91\ mi$ , we can find 'x' using equation (1). This gives,

$x^2=23104+(91)^2\\\\x=\sqrt{31385}=177.16\ mi$

Now, plug in the values of 'e' and 'x' and solve for $\frac{dx}{dt}$ . This gives,

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{91}{177.16}\times 25\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=12.84\ mph$

Therefore, the distance between the van and Springfield is changing at a rate of 12.84 miles per hour

loris [4]

Questions Diagram is attached below

Answer:

$T=2.08s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of Train $V=3.0m.s$

Angle $\theta=12\textdegree$

Height of window $h_w=0.90m$

Width of window $w_w=2.0m$

The Horizontal distance between B and A from Trigonometric Laws is mathematically given by

$b=\frac{0.9}{tan12}$

$b=4.23$

Therefore

Distance from A-A

$d_a=2.0+4.23$

$d_a=6.23$

Therefore

Time Required to travel trough d is mathematically given as

$T=\frac{d_a}{v}$

$T=\frac{6.23}{3}$

$T=2.08s$
