Answer:

5ms^-2

Explanation:

F = 20N, m = 4.0kg, a = ?

Using the formula for Force

F = ma

Then making acceleration the subject of the formula

a = F/m

a = 20N/4.0kg

a = 5ms^-2

In SI units, what is the magnitude the net force acting on a 1,152 kg car that accelerates uniformly along a straight line from
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Fnet = 14515.2 Newton

Explanation:

Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.

Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;

Fnet = Fapp + Fg

Where;

  • Fnet is the net force.
  • Fapp is the applied force.
  • Fg is the force due to gravitation.

Given the following data;

Mass = 1,152 kg

Initial velocity, u = 3m/s

Final velocity, v = 17m/s

Time, t = 5 seconds

To find the magnitude of the net force;

First of all, we would determine the acceleration of the car.

Acceleration = (v-u)/t

Acceleration = (17 - 3)/5

Acceleration = 14/5

Acceleration = 2.8m/s

To find the applied force;

Fapp = mass * acceleration

Fapp = 1,152 * 2.8

Fapp = 3225.6 N

Next, we would find the force exerted on the car due to gravity.

Fg = mass * acceleration due to gravity

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

Fg = 1152 * 9.8

Fg = 11289.6N

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Fnet = 3225.6 + 11289.6

Fnet = 14515.2 Newton

A 1. 18 kg gold cube hangs at the end of a 4. 00 m long string. Rhogold = 19. 3 × 103 kg/m3; rhomercury = 13. 6 × 103 kg/m3. Whe
VashaNatasha [74]

When the gold cube is immersed in mercury, the tension in the string in Newtons is 3.142N.

<h3>What is tension?</h3>

Tension is the force acting on the linear object like string, chain or rope due to pulling.

Volume of gold V = mass / density

V = 1.18 /19.3x 10³ =61.1 x 10⁻⁶ m³

Tension in the string after immersing will be

T = [ρ(Gold)  -ρ(Hg)] g. V

T =[ 19.3x 10³ - 13.6 x 10³] x 9.81 x 61.1 x 10⁻⁶

T =3.416 N
Thus, the tension in the string is 3.42 N.

You are on a boat in a fog and know there are cliffs ahead of you somewhere, but you cannot see them. you use your fog horn to s
ELEN [110]

The distance of the cliff from where you are is determined as 3,430 m.

<h3>Distance of the cliff</h3>

Apply the formula for echo.

v = 2d/t

where;

  • v is speed of sound at 20 ⁰C = 343 m/s
  • d is distance = ?
  • t is time = 20 s

2d = vt

d = vt/2

d = (343 x 20)/2

d = 3430 m

Thus, the distance of the cliff from where you are is determined as 3,430 m.
