Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf m = 50\ kg}$

Explanation:

<h3><u>Given data:</u></h3>

Acceleration = a = 3 m/s²

Force = F = 150 N

<h3><u>Required:</u></h3>

Mass = m = ?

<h3><u>Formula:</u></h3>

F = ma

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Put the givens in the formula

150 = m (3)

Divide 3 to both sides

150/3 = m

50 kg = m

m = 50 kg

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

What can you conclude about the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth?

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy of a pendulum is conserved neglecting the friction.

Explanation:

When a simple pendulum swings back and forth, it has some energy associated with its motion.
The total energy of a simple pendulum in harmonic motion at any instant of time is equal to the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.
The potential energy of the simple pendulum is given by P.E = mgh
The kinetic energy of the simple pendulum is given by, K.E = 1/2mv²
When the pendulum swings to one end, its velocity equals zero temporarily where the potential energy becomes maximum.
When the pendulum reaches the vertical line, its velocity and kinetic energy become maximum.
Hence, the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth is conserved neglecting the resistance.

A woman exerts a constant horizontal force on a large box. As a result, the box moves across a horizontal floor at a constant sp

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:C

Explanation:

When a constant horizontal force is applied to the box, box started moving in the horizontal direction such that it moves with constant velocity $v_0$

Constant velocity implies that net force on the box is zero

i.e. there must be an opposing force which is equal to the applied force and friction force can serve that purpose.

So option c is the correct choice.

How would the terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper compare to the terminal velocity of a rock?

matrenka [14]

Answer: Rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.

Explanation: Terminal velocity is defined as the final velocity attained by an object falling under the gravity. At this moment weight is balanced by the air resistance or drag force and body falls with zero acceleration i.e. with a constant velocity.

Case 1: Terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper.

The weight of tissue paper is very less and it experiences an air resistance while falling downward under the effect of gravity.

Downward gravitational force, F = mg

Upward air resistance or friction or drag force will be $f_{1}$

So, paper will attain terminal velocity when mg = $f_{1}$

Case 2: Rock is very heavy and require larger air resistance to balance the weight of rock relative to the tissue paper case.

Downward force on rock, F = Mg

Drag force = $f_{2}$

Rock will attain terminal velocity when Mg = $f_{2}$

Mg > mg

so, $f_{2}$ > $f_{1}$

And rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.
