Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 6 \ Newtons}}

Explanation:

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration. The mass of the object is 5 kilograms, but the acceleration is unknown.

We can find acceleration using the following formula:

a= \frac{ \Delta v}{t}

The velocity of the object increases by 3 meters per second. It accelerates in 2.5 seconds.

  • Δv= 3 m/s
  • t= 2.5 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

a= \frac{3 \ m/s}{2.5 \ s}

a= 1.2  \ m/s/s = 1.2 \ m/s^2

Now we know the mass and acceleration.

  • m= 5 kg
  • a= 1.2 m/s²

Substitute the values into the force formula.

F=ma

F= (5 \ kg)(1.2 \ m/s^2)

F= 6 \ kg*m/s^2

Convert the units. 1 kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton. Our answer of 6 kilogram meters per second squared is equal to 6 Newtons.

F= 6 \ N

Hi there!

Recall Newton's Second Law:

\large\boxed{\Sigma F = ma}

∑F = net force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

We must begin by solving for the acceleration using the following:

a = Δv/t

In this instance:

Δv = 3 m/s

t = 2.5 sec

a = 3/2.5 = 1.2 m/s²

Now, plug this value along with the mass into the equation for net force:

\Sigma F = 5(1.2) = \boxed{6 N}}

Reil [10]

speed = distance \div time
Since the sound travels from the submarine to the object AND back, it actually travelled 3625x2=7250m.

7250 \div 5 = 1450
Speed of sound: 1450m/s

Lynna [10]

A. Oysters, clams, and other shellfish are efficient filter feeders that help remove excess nitrogen from waters by incorporating it into their shells and tissue as they grow. ... Adult oysters reportedly can filter up to 50 gallons a day, while large quahogs (hard clams) can clean about 24 gallons of water a day

ser-zykov [4K]

The tip of the fan moves through the outer side of the circle.

So it moves a distance of perimeter of circle in one revolution.

Perimeter of circle = 2\pir, where r is the radius of circle.

In this case radius of circular motion = 0.19 meter

So perimeter of circle = 2\pi*0.19 = 0.38\pi = 1.194 m

So distance does the tip move in one revolution = 1.194 meter
