A student pushes a 2.85 kg cart causing it to accelerate at a rate of 4.9 m/s squared .What amount of force must the student hav

uysha [10]

In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.

You weigh 716 newtons on Earth. You

Otrada [13]

Answer:

537 N

Explanation:

The force due to gravity of a planet is:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the object

and r is the distance between the object and the center of the planet

On Earth, you weigh 716 N, so:

716 N = GMm / r²

On planet X:

F = G (3M) m / (2r)²

F = 3/4 GMm / r²

F = 3/4 (716 N)

F = 537 N

A car has a mass of 1.00 × 103 kilograms, and it has an acceleration of 4.5 meters/second2. What is the net force on the car?

aksik [14]

ANSWER

C. $F=4.5 \times10^3$ . newtons

EXPLANATION

According to Newton's second law,

$F_{net}=ma$ , where

$m=1.00\times 10^3kg$ is the mass measured in kilograms.

and

$a=4.5ms^{2}$ is the acceleration in metres per second square.

We substitute these values to obtain,

$F=1.00\times10^3 \times 4.5$ .

We rearrange to get,

$F=1.00\times4.5 \times10^3$ .

We multiply out the first two numbers and leave our answer in standard form to get,

$F=4.5 \times10^3 N$ .

The correct answer is C

Problem 1: Three beads are placed along a thin rod. The first bead, of mass m1 = 24 g, is placed a distance d1 = 1.1 cm from the

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

b) $x_{cm}$ = 4.88 cm , c) $x_{cm}$ ’= 1/M (m₁ d₁ + m₃ d₃) and d)

$x_{cm}$ ’= 1.88 cm

Explanation:

The definition of mass center is

$x_{cm}$ = 1/M ∑ xi mi

Where mi, xi are the mass and distance from an origin for each mass and M is the total mass of the object.

Part b

Apply this equation to our case.

Body 1

They give us the mass (m₁ = 24 g) and the distance (d₁ = 1.1 cm) from the origin at the far left

Body 2

They give us the mass (m₂ = 12.g) and the distance relative to the distance of the body 1, let's look for the distance from the left end (origin)

D₂ = d₁ + d₂

D₂ = 1.1 + 1.9

D₂ = 3.0 cm

Body 3

Give the mass (m₃ = 56 g) and the position relative to body 2, let's find the distance relative to the origin

D₃ = D₂ + d₂

D₃ = 3.0 + 3.9

D₃ = 6.9 cm

With this data we substitute and calculate the center of mass

M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃

M = 24 + 12 + 56

M = 92 g

$x_{cm}$ = 1/92 (1.1 24 + 3.0 12 + 6.9 56)

$x_{cm}$ = 1/92 (448.8)

$x_{cm}$ = 4,878 cm

$x_{cm}$ = 4.88 cm

This distance is from the left end of the bar

Par c)

In this case we are asked for the same calculation, but the reference system is in the center marble, we have to rewrite the distance with the reference system in this marble.

Body 1

It is at d1 = -1.9 cm

It is negative for being on the left and the value is the relative distance of 1 to 2

Body 2

d2 = 0 cm

The reference system for her

Body 3

d3 = 3.9 cm

Positive because that is to the left of the reference system and is the relative distance between 2 and 3

Let's write the new center of mass (xcm')

$x_{cm}$ ’= 1/M (m₁ d₁ + m₂ d₂ + m₃ d₃)

$x_{cm}$ ’= 1/M (m₁ d₁ + m₃ d₃)

Part d) Let's calculate the value of the center of mass

$x_{cm}$ ’= 1/92 ((24 (-1.9) +56 3.9)

$x_{cm}$ ’= 1/92 (172.8)

$x_{cm}$ ’= 1.88 cm

This distance is to the right of the central marble
