Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes, which means that acceleration tells you how fast the velocity is changing. A large acceleration tells you that the velocity is changing quickly - a small acceleration tells you that the velocity is changing slowly - an acceleration of zero tells you that the velocity is not changing at all.

Acceleration tells you how the velocity changes - it doesn't tell how how much the velocity is! An object can have a large velocity and a small (or zero) acceleration - and vice versa.

Magnesium is a shiny, flexible metal that can be burned in the presence of air.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A new substance was formed

Explanation:

According to this question, a shiny and flexible metal called Magnesium (Mg) is burnt in air to produce a white powder that has no shiny or flexible properties, however, has more weight than the magnesium metal itself.

This is possible because a CHEMICAL CHANGE has occured, hence, a new substance has been formed. The formation of a new substance during the burning process (chemical reaction), induced the increase in mass.

A student connects an object with mass m to a rope with a length r and then rotates the rope around her head parallel to the gro

Alexandra [31]

The object takes 0.5 seconds to complete one rotation, so its rotational speed is 1/0.5 rot/s = 2 rot/s.

Convert this to linear speed; for each rotation, the object travels a distance equal to the circumference of its path, or 2π (1.2 m) = 2.4π m ≈ 7.5 m, so that

2 rot/s = (2 rot/s) • (2.4π m/rot) = 4.8π m/s ≈ 15 m/s

thus giving it a centripetal acceleration of

a = (4.8π m/s)² / (1.2 m) ≈ 190 m/s².

Then the tension in the rope is

T = (50 kg) a ≈ 9500 N.

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in mid air, and brings it from rest up to a speed of 25 m/s in 0.05 s. if the mass of the paper

zepelin [54]

Ok, so you've got to figure out a force F and you have the speed in which the boxer punches on determinate time and the mass of the sheet of paper.

So based on the formula that says that the Force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration => F=ma.
You look at it and see that you only have mass which is measured on KG so there is no problem.
then you have the acceleration which is measured on meters and is defined by: a = Δv/Δt
So now you can replace the velocity and the time you have there
⇒ a 25m/s / 0.05s
you have computing that ⇒ 50m because the seconds were cancelled out.
and then you plug the meters into the force equation.
F=(0.005kg)(50)
F=0.25N
so the boxer will have a force of 0.25 Newton's.

Jill can use a force of 12.0 N to lift a single box up 5.00 m. How many of these boxes must she lift it in a minute to use 60.0

Mama L [17]

Answer:

60 boxes

Explanation:

The work done by lifting a single box is equal to the force applied (the weight of the box) times the displacement of the box:

$W_1 = Fd=(12.0 N)(5.00 m)=60 J$

Power is related to the work done by the equation:

$P=\frac{W}{t}$

where W is the work done and t is the time. In this problem, we are told that the power used is P=60.0 W, while the time taken is t = 1 min = 60 s, so the total work done must be

$W=Pt=(60.0 W)(60 s)=3600 J$

Therefore, the number of boxes that she has to lift in order to use this power is the total work divided by the work done in lifting each box:

$N=\frac{W}{W_1}=\frac{3,600 J}{60 J}=60$
