The wall exerts an equal force in response to your push, so it's 40N. To illustrate that your acceleration is 0.5 m/s², we apply Newton's second law F=ma, which translates into 40N=80kg*a. Knowing that 1 Newton is equivalent to 1 kg*m/s², we can express it as 40kg*m/s²=80kg*a. By isolating 'a,' we find 40kg*m/s²/80kg = a, simplifying down to (40m/s²)/80 = a, which results in 0.5 m/s² for a.

A dog of mass 10 kg sits on a skateboard of mass 2 kg that is initially traveling south at 2 m/s. The dog jumps off with a veloc
inna [3103]

Answer:

17 m/s south

Explanation:

m_1 Mass of the dog = 10 kg

m_2 Mass of skateboard = 2 kg

v = Combined velocity = 2 m/s

u_1 Velocity of the dog = 1 m/s

u_2 Velocity of skateboard

In this scenario, linear momentum is conserved

(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1+m_2u_2=0\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(10+2)2+10\times 1}{2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-17\ m/s

The speed of the skateboard post-dog jump will be 17 m/s south, considering north as the positive direction

A locomotive is accelerating at 1.6 m/s2. it passes through a 20.0-m-wide crossing in a time of 2.4 s. after the locomotive leav
kicyunya [3294]

Response:

Once it has crossed, the locomotive requires 17.6 seconds to achieve a speed of 32 m/s.

Details:

  The locomotive's acceleration is 1.6 m/s^2

  The duration taken to pass the crossing is 2.4 seconds.

  We can apply the motion equation, v = u + at, where v represents final velocity, u indicates initial velocity, a denotes acceleration, and t signifies time.

  When the speed reaches 32 m/s, we have v = 32 m/s, u = 0 m/s, and a= 1.6 m/s^2.

   32 = 0 + 1.6 * t

    t = 20 seconds.

  Therefore, the locomotive attains a speed of 32 m/s after 20 seconds, and it passes the crossing in 2.4 seconds.

Thus, after clearing the crossing, it takes an additional 17.6 seconds to reach the speed of 32 m/s.

A copper sphere was moving at 25 m/s when it hit another object. This caused all of the KE to be converted into thermal energy f
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

\Delta T = 0.81 ^oC

Explanation:

According to the principle of energy conservation

all kinetic energy will change into thermal energy to increase its temperature

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = ms\Delta T

Next, divide both sides by the object's mass

\frac{1}{2}v^2 = s\Delta T

the resulting temperature change is expressed as

\Delta T = \frac{v^2}{2s}

\Delta T = \frac{25^2}{2\times 387}

\Delta T = 0.81^oC

A 9.0-V battery moves 20 mC of charge through a circuit running from its positive terminal to its negative terminal. How much en
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

The energy delivered is E = 0.18 J

Explanation:

Given,

Battery voltage, V = 9 V

Charge in the circuit, Q = 20 mC

                                        = 20 x 10³ C

Energy supplied in the circuit can be computed as

E = Q V

E = 20 x 10⁻³ x 9

E =  180 x 10⁻³

E equals 0.18 J.

The energy delivered in the circuit is therefore E = 0.18 J
