F=ma. a= F/m = 3000/200 = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that relation between force, mass and acceleration is as follows.

F = ma

where, F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

So, it is given that force is 3000 N and mass is 200 kg. Hence, calculate the acceleration as follows.

F = ma

3000 N = $200 \times a$

a = $\frac{3000}{200}$

= $15 m/s^{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that acceleration of the given object is $15 m/s^{2}$ .

A person of mass m will bungee-jump from a bridge over a river where the height from the bridge to the river is h. The bungee co

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer: $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Explanation:

Given

mass of person is m

Distance between bridge and river is h

chord has an un-stretched length of $\frac{2h}{3}$

Let spring constant be k

Person will just stop before hitting the river

Conserve energy i.e. Potential Energy of Person is converted in to elastic energy of chord

$mgh=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

$x=h-\frac{2h}{3}=\frac{h}{3}$

$mgh=\frac{kh^2}{18}$

$k=\frac{18mg}{h}$

Thus $k_{min}=\frac{18mg}{h}$

If the star Sirius emits 23 times more energy than the Sun, why does the Sun appear brighter in the sky?

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

As b ∝ (L/r²) and

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

hence,

the Sun appear brighter in the sky

Explanation:

The brightness (b) is directly proportional to the Luminosity of the star (L) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the star and the observer (r).

thus, mathematically,

b ∝ (L/r²)

now,

given

L for sirius is 23 times more than the sun i.e 23L

now,

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

thus,

using the the relation between conclude that the value of brightness for the Sirius comes very very low as compared to the value for brightness for the Sun.

hence, the sun appears brighter

a small table has a mass of 4kg, stands on four legs, each leg having an area of 0.001 m2. what is the pressure exerted by the t

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

P = 10 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a small table, m = 4 kg

The area of each leg = 0.001 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by the table on the floor. Pressure is equal to the force per unit area. So

$P=\dfrac{mg}{4\times A}\\\\P=\dfrac{4\times 10}{4\times 0.001}\\P=10000\ Pa\\\\or\\\\P=10\ kPa$

So, the required pressure is 10 kPa.
