Two students were pushing a heavy sofa. One student pushed with a force of 200.0 N to the right, while the other pushed with a f

orce of 150.0 N to the right. The floor exerted a frictional force of 100.0 N. If the sofa's mass is 91.0 kg, what is its acceleration? Round your answer to three significant figures.

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma

a = F/m

a = (200.0 + 150.0 - 100.0) / 91.0

a = 250.0/91.0

a = 2.7472527...

a = 2.75 m/s²

newton's second law states that when a net force acts on an object, it accelerates it.Explain how it would be possible for two o

Alika [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a body is proportional to the net external force that acts on the body.

A body accelerated when it is acted upon by an unbalanced net external force.

When the external forces acting on a body are balanced, the effect of each force is cancelled by the other hence the body is not accelerated according to Newton's second law.

The electric potential difference across the membrane of a body cell is 0.070 V (higher on the outside than on the inside). The

12345 [234]

Answer:

The electric field is $8.75 \times 10^{6}~v~m^{-1}$ and the ditection is from outer to inner side of the membrane.

Explanation:

We know the electric field ( $\vec{E}$ ) is given by $\vec{E} = - \nabla V$ , 'V' being the potential.

In 1-D, it can be written as

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

where 'd' is the separation of space in between the potential difference is created.

Given, $V = 0.070~V~$ and the thickness of the cell membrane is $d = 8.0 \times 10^{-9}~m$ .

Therefore the created electric field through the cell membrane is

$E = \dfrac{0.07~V}{8 \times 10^{-9}~m} = 8.75 \times 10^{6}~m~s^{-1}$

A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours iscalled a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronoussatellite is

lesantik [10]

Answer:

35870474.30504 m

Explanation:

r = Distance from the surface

T = Time period = 24 h

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m = Mass of the Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Radius of Earth = $6.38\times 10^6\ m$

The gravitational force will balance the centripetal force

$\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}=m\dfrac{v^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}}$

From Kepler's law we have relation

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{GM}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\dfrac{T^2GM}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\dfrac{(24\times 3600)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{4\pi^2}\right)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42250474.30504\ m$

Distance from the center of the Earth would be

$42250474.30504-6.38\times 10^6=\mathbf{35870474.30504\ m}$

A mass of 100 g stretches a spring 5 cm. If the mass is set in motion from its equilibrium position with a downward velocity of

Rudiy27

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of spring $m=100\ gm$

extension in spring $x=5\ cm$

downward velocity $v=70\ cm/s$

Position in undamped free vibration is given by

$u(t)=A\cos \omega _0t+B\sin \omega _0t$

where $\omega _0^2=\frac{k}{m}$

also $\frac{k}{m}=\frac{g}{L}$

$\omega _0^2=\frac{k}{m}=\frac{9.8}{0.05}$

$\omega _0=14$

$u(t)=A\cos(14t)+B\sin(14t)$

it is given

$u(0)=0$

$u'(0)=70\ cm/s$

substituting values we get

$A=0$

$u(t)=B\sin (14t)$

$u'(t)=14B\cos (14t)$

$70=14B$

$B=\frac{10}{2}$

$B=5$

$u(t)=5\sin (14t)$
