A boy is exerting a force of 70 N at a 50-degree angle on a lawnmower. He is accelerating at 1.8 m/s2. Round the answers to the nearest whole number.

What is the mass of the lawnmower?
What is the normal force exerted on the lawnmower?

Answers

The lawnmower accelerates in the positive horizontal direction, so that the net horizontal force is, by Newton's second law,

(70 N) cos(-50°) = m (1.8 m/s²)

where m is the mass of the lawnmower. Solve for m :

m = ((70 N) cos(-50°)) / (1.8 m/s²)

m ≈ 25 kg

The lawnmower presumably doesn't get lifted off the ground, so that the net vertical force is 0. If n is the magnitude of the normal force, then by Newton's second law,

n - m g + (70 N) sin(-50°) = 0

n = m g + (70 N) sin(50°)

n = (25 kg) (9.8 m/s²) + (70 N) sin(50°)

n ≈ 300 N

A warehouse worker pushed a cart weighing 4.50 kg to the top of an inclined plane. Initially, the cart was 0.670 m above the floor. If the top of the inclined plane is 2.70 m above the floor, calculate the work done by gravity as the worker pushed the cart to the top of the plane.

Answers

Answer:

- 89.523J

Explanation:

We solve the above question using work done(Potential Energy) formula

The formula =

-(mgh)

Where m = Mass = 4.50J

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

We are told in the question:

Initially, the cart was 0.670 m above the floor. If the top of the inclined plane is 2.70 m above the floor

Hence, the height =

2.70m - 0.670m = 2.03m

Work done = -(2.03m × 4.5kg× 9.8m/s²)

= - 89.523J

A eureka can of mass 100g and cross-section area 100cm2 is filled with water of density 1g/cm3. A piece of metal of mass 20g and density 8g/cm3 is lowered into the can. ( height of can 10cm ) calculate:
a) the total mass of can before the metal was lowered.
b) the volume of water that overflowed
c) the final mass of can and its content​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

Firstly to calculate the total mass of the can before the metal was lowered we need to add the mass of the eureka can and the mass of the water in the can. We don't know the mass of the water but we can easily find if we know the volume of the can. In order to calculate the volume we would have to multiply the area of the cross section by the height. So we do the following.

100[tex]cm^{2}[/tex] x 10cm = 1000[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

Now in order to find the mass that water has in this case we have to multiply the water's density by the volume, and so we get....

[tex]\frac{1g}{cm^{3} }[/tex] x 1000[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] = 1000g or 1kg

Knowing this, we now can calculate the total mass of the can before the metal was lowered, by adding the mass of the water to the mass of the can. So we get....

1000g + 100g = 1100g or 1.1kg

b)

The volume of the water that over flowed will be equal to the volume of the metal piece (since when we add the metal piece, the metal piece will force out the same volume of water as itself, to understand this more deeply you can read the about "Archimedes principle"). Knowing this we just have to calculate the volume of the metal piece an that will be the answer. So this time in order to find volume we will have to divide the total mass of the metal piece by its density. So we get....

20g ÷ [tex]\frac{8g}{cm^{3} }[/tex] = 2.5 [tex]cm^{3}[/tex]

c)

Now to find out the total mass of the can after the metal piece was lowered we would have to add the mass of the can itself, mass of the water inside the can, and the mass of the metal piece. We know the mass of the can, and the metal piece but we don't know the mass of the water because when we lowered the metal piece some of the water overflowed, and as a result the mass of the water changed. So now we just have to find the mass of the water in the can keeping in mind the fact that 2.5[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] overflowed. So now we the same process as in number a) just with a few adjustments.

[tex]\frac{1g}{cm^{3} }[/tex] x (1000[tex]cm^{3}[/tex] - 2.5[tex]cm^{3}[/tex]) = 997.5g

So now that we know the mass of the water in the can after we added the metal piece we can add all the three masses together (the mass of the can. the mass of the water, and the mass of the metal piece) and get the answer.

100g + 997.5g + 20g = 1117.5g or 1.1175kg

As a young boy swings a yo-yo parallel to the ground and above his head, the yo-yo has a centripetal acceleration of 250 m/s2 . If the yo-yo’s string is 0.50 m long, what is the yo-yo’s tangential speed?

Answers

Centripetal acceleration ac is the acceleration experienced while in uniform circular motion. It always points toward the center of rotation. It is perpendicular to the linear velocity (tangential speed) v and has the magnitude:

[tex]a_c = \dfrac{v^2}{R}[/tex]

Solving for v:

[tex]v = \sqrt{a_c R} = \sqrt{(250\;m/s^2)(0.50\;m)} = 5\sqrt{5}\;m/s \approx 11.18\;m/s[/tex]

The yo-yo’s tangential speed 11.18 m/sec.

What is speed?

The speed of an object is the magnitude of the change of its position over time or the magnitude of the change of its position per unit of time; it is thus a scalar quantity.

Centripetal acceleration ac is the acceleration experienced while in uniform circular motion. It always points toward the center of rotation. It is perpendicular to the linear velocity (tangential speed) v and has the magnitude:

[tex]a_{c} = v^2/r[/tex]

Solving for v

[tex]v = \sqrt{a_{c}r }[/tex] = 11.18 m/sec

The yo-yo’s tangential speed 11.18 m/sec.

What average net force is required to stop a 1950 kg car in 10.5 s if it’s initially traveling at 28m/s

Answers

Answer:

An average net force of 5200 N is needed to stop the car

Explanation:

Cinematics and Dynamics

Cinematics describes the variables involved in the movement without dealing with its causes. There are four main concepts in cinematics: Velocity (or its scalar equivalent, the speed), acceleration, time, and displacement (or the scalar equivalent, distance).

The acceleration can be calculated by:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}[/tex]

The initial speed is vo=28 m/s, it stops (vf=0) in t=10.5 seconds, thus the acceleration is:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{0-28}{10.5}[/tex]

[tex]a = -2.67~m/s^2[/tex]

The acceleration is negative because the car loses speed.

Knowing the mass of the car m=1950 Kg, we can calculate the net force required to stop the car by using the formula:

F = m.a =1950*2.67

F = 5200 N

An average net force of 5200 N is needed to stop the car

The weight of an object is measured in air to be 7.0 N. The
object is then immersed in water and its apparent weight is
measured to be 4.0 N. Determine the buoyant force and state
whether or not the object floats.​

Answers

Answer:

Buoyant force = 3.0 N

The object will not float.

Explanation:

Apparent weight of a body immersed in water is the actual weight of object minus buoyant force

Given in the question that;

Weight of object in air = 7.0 N

Apparent weight of object = 4.0 N

4.0 N = 7.0 N - Buoyant force

Buoyant force = 7.0 - 4.0 = 3.0 N

In this case, the buoyant force is less than weight of the object thus the object will sink.

A jet aircraft is traveling at 214 m/s in hor-

izontal flight. The engine takes in air at a

rate of 115 kg/s and burns fuel at a rate of

2.53 kg/s. The exhaust gases are ejected at

276 m/s relative to the aircraft.

Find the thrust of the jet engine.

Answer in units of N.

Answers

Answer:

The thrust is  [tex]F = 7828.3 \  N [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed of the jet aircraft is  [tex]v = 214 \ m/s[/tex]

    The rate at which the engine takes in air is [tex]\^ Q = 115 \ kg/s[/tex]

    The rate  at which the engine burns fuel is  [tex]\r m = 2.53 \ kg/s[/tex]

    The speed of the exhaust gases is  [tex]u = 276 \ m/s[/tex]

   

Generally the thrust of the engine is mathematically represented as

      [tex]F =[ \^ Q * ( u - v )] + (\r m * u)[/tex]

=>   [tex]F =[ 115 * ( 276  -  214 )]  + (2.53 * 276)[/tex]

=>   [tex]F = 7828.3 \  N [/tex]

A 1500 kg car is accelerated by a force of 2000 N for 15 s.

What is the acceleration of the car?


If the car started at rest, how fast is the car going after 15s? (1pts)


How far (∆x) would the car have traveled after the 15s? (1pts)

Answers

By Newton's second law, the car has acceleration a such that

2000 N = (1500 kg) a

a = (2000 N) / (1500 kg)

a = 4/3 m/s² ≈ 1.33 m/s²

After 15 s, the car will attain a speed of

(4/3 m/s²) (15 s) = 20 m/s

It will have traveled a distance ∆x such that

(20 m/s)² - 0² = 2 (4/3 m/s²) ∆x

x = (20 m/s)² / (8/3 m/s²)

x = 150 m
