The acceleration due to gravity would be 5.95 m/s²

A force is known to be a push or pull and it is the change in momentum per time. It can be expressed by using the relation.

Force = mass × acceleration.

From the parameters given:

Mass = 105 kg
Force = 625 N

By replacing the given values into the above equation, we can determine the acceleration.

∴

625 N = 105 kg × acceleration.

$\mathbf{acceleration = \dfrac{625 \ N}{105 \ kg}}$

acceleration = 5.95 N/kg

Since 1 N/kg = 1 m/²

acceleration = 5.95 m/s²

Calculate the time needed for a 0.600 kg hammer to reach the surface of the Earth

USPshnik [31]

The time needed for the hammer to reach the surface of the Earth is 3.54 s.

<h3>Time of motion of the hammer</h3>

The time of motion is calculated as follows;

t = √(2h/g)

where;

h is height of fall
g is acceleration due to gravity

t = √(2 x 10 / 1.6)

t = 3.54 s

Thus, the time needed for the hammer to reach the surface of the Earth is 3.54 s.

A binary star system consists of two equal mass stars that revolve in circular orbits about their center of mass. The period of

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

$m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg$

Explanation:

Given data:

PERIOD OF MOTION IS T = 25.5 days

orbital speeds = 220 km/s

we know that

acceleration due to centripetal force is $a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{V^2}{r}$

Gravitational force $F= \frac{Gm m}{d^2}$

we know that

$v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}$

solving for

$R = \frac{vT}{2\pi}$

$F = \frac{Gm^2}{4(\frac{vT}{2\pi})^2}$

$F = G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2}$

$a = \frac{v^2}{\frac{vT}{2\pi}}$

$a = \frac{2\pi v}{T}$

we know that

f =ma

$G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2} = a = \frac{2\pi m v}{T}$

solving for m

$m = \frac{2Tv^3}{\pi G}$

$m = \frac{2\times 25.5 \times 86400 \times 220000^3\ m/s}{\pi \times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}$

$m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg$

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in

Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can= $1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3$

$1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3$

Mass of can=80g= $\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg$

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead= $11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3$

By using $1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3$

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force = $F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead$

$\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg$

Where $\rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=$ Density of water

$m_c=$ Mass of can

$m_l=$ Mass of lead

$V_c=$ Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

$1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l$

$1.1-0.08=m_l$

$m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g$

$1 kg=1000g$

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.

how many times does the kinectic energy of a car increase when traveling 60 mph as opposed to traveling 30 mph

Bumek [7]

The car at 60 kph has 9 times more kinetic energy than the car traveling at 20 kph. This assumes that both cars have the same mass. Kinetic energy depends on the square of thee speed so if one car is going 3 times faster, its kinetic energy will be 3^2 ( = 9 ) greater. The car going at 60 kph will have 4 times the KE of the car going at 30 kph ( again assuming that the cars have the same mass.)

Two ladybugs sit on a rotating disk that is slowing down at a constant rate. The ladybugs are at rest with respect to the surfac

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The two ladybugs have same rotational (angular) speed

Explanation:

The rotational (angular) speed of an object in circular motion is defined as:

$\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}$

where

$\theta$ is the angular displacement

t is the time interval considered

Here we have two ladybugs, which are located at two different distances from the axis. In particular, ladybug 1 is halfway between ladybug 2 and the axis of rotation. However, since they rotate together with the disk, and the disk is a rigid body, every point of the disk cover the same angle $\theta$ in the same time $t$ : this means that every point along the disk has the same angular speed, and therefore the two ladybugs also have the same angular speed.

On the other hand, the linear speed of the two ladybugs is different, because it follows the equation:

$v=\omega r$

where r is the distance from the axis: and since the two ladybugs are located at different $r$ , they have different linear speed.
