The acceleration of the car is solved by subtracting the initial speed from the final speed then dividing the result by the elapsed time.
initial speed = 72 km/hr = 20 m/s
final speed = 0 m/s
elapsed time = 5 seconds
acceleration = (0 m/s – 20 m/s) / 5 s
acceleration = - 20m/s / 5 s
acceleration = -4 m/s^2
Answer:
1,373.4 N
Explanation:
The mass of the table acts at the centre in addition to the books since that is the centre of gravity of the table.
Mass of books will be 10kg+20kg+30kg=60 kg
Total mass of table and books will be 500kg+60kg=560 kg
This mass is evenly distributed into the four legs hence 560kg/4 legs=140 kg per leg
Force is product of mass and acceleration due to gravity hence F=gm
Taking g as 9.81 m/s2 then
F=140*9.81=1,373.4 N
Therefore, rhe normal force is equivalent to 1,373.4 N
Answer:
Strong nuclear force is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force
Explanation:
There are mainly two forces acting between protons and neutrons in the nucleus:
- The electrostatic force, which is the force exerted between charged particles (therefore, it is exerted between protons only, since neutrons are not charged). The magnitude of the force is given by

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the two particles, r is the separation between the particles.
The force is attractive for two opposite charges and repulsive for two same charges: therefore, the electrostatic force between two protons is repulsive.
- The strong nuclear force, which is the force exerted between nucleons. At short distance (such as in the nucleus), it is attractive, therefore neutrons and protons attract each other and this contributes in keeping the whole nucleus together.
At the scale involved in the nucleus, the strong nuclear force (attractive) is 1-2 order of magnitude larger than the electrostatic force (repulsive), therefore the nucleus stays together and does not break apart.
