A force Fnet acting on mass m results in acceleration a, where a = Fnet / m. We are given Fnet and a, so we can solve the equation to find m.

Multiplying both sides by m we get

a * m = Fnet / m * m so

a * m = Fnet. Dividing both sides of this equation by a we have

m = Fnet / a = 265 N / (2.30 m/s^2) = 115 (kg m/s^2) / (m/s^2) = 115 kg.

prin phy and gen phy problem 4.07 force to accelerate 7 g pellet to 125 m/s in .7 m barrel

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

vf^2 = vo^2 + 2as

a = (125^2 - 0) / 2*.800

a = 9770 m/s/s

F =ma = .007 g * 9770 m/s/s = 68 N

** The initial velocity of the bullet is zero and the final velocity is 175 m/s. If we assume uniform acceleration (not necessarily the case but not a bad first approximation) the average velocity is (0 + 125 m/s) / 2 = 62.5 m/s and the time required for the trip down the barrel is .7 m / (62.5 m/s) = .011 sec, approx..

Acceleration is therefore rate of velocity change = `dv / `dt = (125 m/s - 0 m/s) / (.11 sec) = 11000 m/s^2, approx..

The force on the bullet is therefore F = m a = .007 kg * 11000 m/s^2 = 77 N approx. **

Maybe I have a different version of the problem in my book because the velocity I was working with was 125 m/s and a distance of .800 m. Was the method I used correct?

You did have different numbers. Your solution was fine.

gen phy 4.08. breaking strength 22 N, accel 2.5 m/s^2 breaks line. What can we say about the mass of the fish?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

m = F/a = 22 / 2.5 = 8.8 kg

Weight = mass * Fgrav = 8.8 * 9.8 = 86 N

The fish is being pulled upward by the tension, downward by gravity. The net force on the fish is therefore equal to the tension in the line, minus the force exerted by gravity. In symbols, Fnet = T - m g, where m is the mass of the fish.

To accelerate a fish of mass m upward at 2.5 m/s^2 the net force must be Fnet = m a = m * 2.5 m/s^2. Combined with the preceding we have the condition

m * 2.5 m/s^2 = T - m g so that to provide this force we require

T = m * 2.5 m/s^2 + m g = m * 2.5 m/s^2 + m * 9.8 m/s^2 = m * 12.3 m/s^2.

We know that the line breaks, so the tension must exceed the 22 N breaking strength of the line. So T > 22 N. Thus

m * 12.3 m/s^2 > 22 N. Solving this inequality for m we get

m > 22 N / (12.3 m/s^2) = 22 kg m/s^2 / (12.3 m/s^2) = 1.8 kg.

The fish has a mass exceeding 1.8 kg.

I knew there was more to this problem, but I didn't know how to do it. It is difficult, but now I see that:

Fnet = T-mg = ma

Find tension

T = ma + mg"

Good. Let me know if you have questions.
