The acceleration of the object which moves from an initial step to a full halt given the distance traveled can be calculated through the equation,
d = v² / 2a
where d is distance, v is the velocity, and a is acceleration
Substituting the known values,
180 = (22.2 m/s)² / 2(a)
The value of a is equal to 1.369 m/s²
The force needed for the object to be stopped is equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration.
F = (1300 kg)(1.369 m/s²)
F = 1779.7 N
Answer:
An object on the moon would weigh the LEAST among these. So correct answer is B.
Explanation:
- Weight of an object on any place is given by:
W = Mass * Acceleration due to gravity(g)
- It means when masses of different objects those are in different places are same, the weight of those objects depends upon the 'g' of that particular place.
- As we know, acceleration due to gravity on surface of moon (g') is 6 times weaker than the acceleration on surface of earth (g), which is due to the large M/R^2 of the earth than the moon.
i.e. g' = g/6 so W' = W/6
- And in the space between the two, the object is weightless.
If you do this on Earth, then the acceleration of the falling object is 9.8 m/s^2 ... NO MATTER what it's mass is.
If its mass is 10 kg, then the force pulling it down is 98.1 Newtons. Most people call that the object's "weight".
The correct answer is c because B) is a vector which includes both velocity and direction
