A student applies an upward force of 52 N to a 5.6-kg physics textbook. Find the book’s acceleration (positive for up, negative for down).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The acceleration is roughly 9.3 m/s^2

The acceleration is positive.

=====================================================

Work Shown:

Using Newton's Second Law, we get,

F = m*a

52 = 5.6a

5.6a = 52

a = 52/5.6

a = 9.28571428571429 which is approximate

a = 9.3

I rounded to 2 significant figures because both 52 and 5.6 are to 2 sig figs.

The acceleration is positive because the student applied an upward force.

The units for the acceleration are in meters per second squared, abbreviated as m/s^2.

An acceleration of 9.3 m/s^2 means that after every second, the velocity has increased by 9.3 m/s.

A cannonball is fired at a 45.0° angle and an initial velocity of 670 m/s. Assume no air resistance. How long until the cannonball hits the ground?
96.7 s
55.3 s
65.3 s
45.5 s

Answers

Answer:

96.7 s

Explanation:

Time of flight in projectile can be calculated thus:

T = 2 × u × sin ϴ/ g

Where;

T = time of flight (s)

u = initial velocity (m/s)

ϴ = Angle of projectile (°)

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s²)

Based on the provided information; u = 670m/s, ϴ = 45°

Hence, using T = 2.u.sin ϴ/ g

T = 2 × 670 × sin 45° ÷ 9.8

T = 1340 × 0.7071 ÷ 9.8

T = 947.52 ÷ 9.8

T = 96.68

T = 96.7s

A ball is tied to the end of a cable of negligible mass. The ball is spun in a circle with a radius 7.1 m making 3.9 revolutions every 9.4 second. What is the centripetal acceleration of the ball?

Answers

Answer:

48,2 m/s²

Explanation:

We're gonna use the Centripetal Acceleration formula: v² / r but before that, we got to know the velocity, that is not shown clearly to us, so....

To know the velocity let's calculate the distance that the ball traveled

The circumference of a circle formula is:

2piR

2 . 3,14 . 7,1 | That is equal to 44,588 m

We know that the ball traveled this distance 3,9 times, so...

44,588 . 3,9 = 173,8932 m

Ok, now we have the distance, just need to know the time, that is 9.4 seconds.

Velocity = Distance / Time

V = 173,8932 / 9,4

V = 18,5 (approximate)

So...

We are back to the first formula:

Ca = v² / r

Ca = 18,5² / 7.1

Ca = 48,2 m/s² (approximate)

I hope it is correct, hahaha.

A stretched string is 1.95 m long and has a mass of 19.1 g. When the string oscillates at 440 Hz, which is the frequency of the standard A pitch, transverse waves with a wavelength of 16.7 cm travel along the string. Calculate the tension T in the string.
T= ________ N

Answers

Answer:

The tension in the string is 52.89 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the string, m = 19.1 g = 0.0191 kg

length of the string, L = 1.95 m

⇒mass per unit length, μ = 0.0191 / 1.95 = 0.009795 kg/m

Also Given;

frequency of the string, F = 440 Hz

wavelength of the sound wave, λ = 16.7 cm = 0.167 m

⇒the speed of the wave, v = Fλ = 440 x 0.167 = 73.48 m/s

The tension T in the string is calculated as;

[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu}\\\\T = v^2 \mu\\\\T = (73.48)^2 (0.009795)\\\\T = 52.89 \ N[/tex]

Therefore, the tension in the string is 52.89 N.

Answer:

v = 1247.92 m/s

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is given as follows:

[tex]K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Another formula that is used for Kinetic Energy is given as:

[tex]K.E = \frac{3}{2}KT[/tex]

Comparing both formulae for K.E:

what is the force responsible for seafloor spreading and the formation of new ocean floor at mid ocean ridges

Answers

Answer:

magma

Explanation:

I wanna think that that's right if it's not in so sorry but I'm pretty sure it's magma

Intrusive magma forced up towards the ocean ridge is the force responsible for seafloor spread. The correct option is B.

What is seafloor spreading?

Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges where the oceanic crust is produced by volcanic activity and then moves away from the ridge.

Plate tectonics' continental drift is explained by seafloor spreading. When oceanic plates diverge, tensile stress causes fractures in the lithosphere.

Ridge push occurs when plates are not subducting and are driven by gravity as they slide off the elevated mid-ocean ridges.

Magma rises from the fractures at a spreading center and cools on the ocean floor to form a new seabed.

The spreading rate is the rate at which an ocean basin widens due to seafloor spreading and determines whether the ridge is fast, intermediate, or slow.

Thus, the correct option is B.

A water-skier of mass 75.0 kg initially at rest is being pulled due east by a horizontal towrope. The rope exerts a force of 365 N (east). The water (and air) exerts a combined average frictional force of 190 N (in the opposite direction). How fast will the skier be moving after a distance of 38.0 m?

Answers

Answer:

The skier will be moving at 13.31 m/s.

Explanation:

To calculate the velocity of the skier we need to find the acceleration, as follows:

[tex] \Sigma F = ma [/tex]

[tex] F_{r} - F_{f} = ma [/tex]

Where:

[tex] F_{r}[/tex]: is the force due to the rope = 365 N

[tex] F_{f}[/tex]: is the combined average frictional force = 190 N

m: is the mass = 75.0 kg

[tex] a = \frac{365 N - 190 N}{75.0 kg} = 2.33 m/s^{2} [/tex]

Now, we can calculate the velocity of the skier by using the following kinematic equation:

[tex] v_{f}^{2} = v_{0}^{2} + 2ad [/tex]

Where:

[tex] v_{f}[/tex]: is the final velocity =?

[tex] v_{0}[/tex]: is the initial velocity = 0 (the skier is initially at rest)

d: is the distance = 38.0 m

[tex] v_{f} = \sqrt{2*2.33 m/s^{2}*38.0 m} = 13.31 m/s [/tex]

Therefore, the skier will be moving at 13.31 m/s.

Newton's 2nd Law describes the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration of an object with the formula F=ma. Which scenario below will result in the greatest accleration? (AKS 8b / DOK 1)

A. A 20 kg rock thrown with a 100 N force.

B. A 10,000 kg rocket launched with 100,000 N of force.

C. A 2,000 kg car accelerated with a 1000 N force from the engine.

D. A 50 kg student pushed in a chair with a force of 1000 N.

Answers

Answer:D

Explanation:If you want to find the acceleration do Force/mass.

The greatest magnitude of acceleration is of 20 m/s², by the student of 50 kg pushing the chair with 1000 N of force. Hence, option (D) is correct.

As per the Newton's second law, " The applied force on an object is equal to the product of mass of object and acceleration cause by the applied force. Then, the mathematical expression is,

F = ma

Here, F is the applied force, m is the mass and a is acceleration.

(A)

For 20 kg mass and 100 N force, the acceleration is,

F = ma

100 = (20)a

a = 5 m/s²

(B)

For 10,000 kg mass of rocket and 100,000 N force, the acceleration is,

F = ma

100 ,000= (10,000)a

a = 10 m/s²

(C) For a 2,000 kg mass of car and force of 1000 N, the acceleration is,

F = ma

1000 = (2000)a

a = 0.5 m/s²

(D) For a mass of 50 kg student and applied force of 1000 N, the acceleration is,

F = ma

1000 = (50)a

a =20 m/s².

Thus, we can conclude that the greatest magnitude of acceleration is of 20 m/s², by the student of 50 kg pushing the chair with 1000 N of force. Hence, option (D) is correct.
