Apply Newton’s second law to calculate the frictional force needed to hold a 15 g pen in your fingers and keep it from falling

Physics
1 answer:
Roman55 [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

0.1962N.

Explanation:

Weight is a force, so we use newtons second law which states F=ma. So the weight of a watermelon on earth is 2kg x 9.81m/s², which is 19.62N (newtons). On the moon it weighs 2 x 1.63 which is 3.26N.

The weight of the pen is 0.02 x 9.81, which is 0.1962N. If the pen is not to fall the frictional force needs to be equal to this force,

so the answer is 0.1962N.

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)

A racing car reaches a speed of 42 m/s. It then begins a uniform negative acceleration, using its parachute and braking system,
NARA [144]

As per the question the initial speed of the car [ u] is 42 m/s.

The car applied its brake and comes to rest after 5.5 second.

The final velocity [v] of the car will be zero.

From the equation of kinematics we know that

                                         v=u+at [ here a stands for acceleration]

                                         0=42 +5.5a

                                         a =\frac{-42}{5.5} m/s^2

                                          a= -7.64 m/s^2

Here a is taken negative as it the car is decelerating uniformly.

We are asked to calculate the stopping distance .

From equation of kinematics we know that

                                              S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2  [here S is the distance]

                                                      = 42*5.5 +\frac{1}{2} [-7.64] [5.5]^2 m

                                                       =115.445 m      [ans]

Hi everyone, I need help on the question: Why are humans the most dangerous creatures in the ocean
kozerog [31]

HUMAN ACTIVITIES ARE threatening the health of the world's oceans. More than 80 percent of marine pollution comes from land-based activities. From coral bleaching to sea level rise, entire marine ecosystems are rapidly changing.

Global warming is causing sea levels to rise, threatening coastal population centers. Many pesticides and nutrients used in agriculture end up in the coastal waters, resulting in oxygen depletion that kills marine plants and shellfish. Factories and industrial plants discharge sewage and other runoff into the oceans. Oil spills pollute the oceans, though U.S. water-sewage treatment plants discharge twice as much oil each year as tanker spills. Air pollution is responsible for almost one-third of the toxic contaminants and nutrients that enter coastal areas and oceans. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that 31.4 percent of fish stocks are either fished to capacity or over-fished.
