Chapter 1: 9E (page 124)

A box rests on a frozen pond, which serves as a frictionless horizontal surface. If a fisherman applies a horizontal force with magnitude 48.0 N to the box and produces an acceleration of magnitude 2.2m/s2, what is the mass of the box?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mass of the box which undergoes an acceleration of 2.2m/s2when a force of 48 N is applied on it is 21.8 kg.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The force on the box is,F=48N

The acceleration of the box is

a=2.2m/s2.

02

Second law of motion

The second law of motion relates the net force , mass and acceleration as

F=ma 鈥�(1)

03

Mass of the box

From equation (1), the mass of the box is

m=Fa=48N2.2m/s2=21.8kg

Thus, the mass of the box is 21.8 kg.

Starting from the front door of a ranch house, you walk 60.0 m due east to a windmill, turn around, and then slowly walk 40.0 m west to a bench, where you sit and watch the sunrise. It takes you 28.0 s to walk from the house to the windmill and then 36.0 s to walk from the windmill to the bench. For the entire trip from the front door to the bench, what are your (a) average velocity and (b) average speed?
