Chapter 1: Q13DQ (page 123)

Some students refer to the quantity ma S as 鈥渢he force of acceleration.鈥� Is it correct to refer to this quantity as a force? If so, what exerts this force? If not, what is a better description of this quantity?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Therefore, the ma鈫�is equal to the net force is just an empirical equation, but it is not a force.

Step by step solution

01

Newton’s Second law

A body accelerates when a net force acts on it and travels in the same direction as the net force. The product of mass and acceleration vector is equal to the force vector.

鈭�F鈫�=ma鈫�

02

Explain the quantity ma→.

Force being mass times acceleration is just an empirical equation that is used to calculate net force. Even though it is equal to the net force, it is not a force. Acceleration is an effect of a non-zero net force; it itself is not a force.

Question- Neptunium. In the fall of 2002, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory determined that the critical mass of neptunium-237 is about 60 kg. The critical mass of a fissionable material is the minimum amount that must be brought together to start a nuclear chain reaction. Neptunium-237 has a density of 19.5 g/cm3. What would be the radius of a sphere of this material that has a critical mass?

You are given two vectors A鈫�=鈭�3.00i^+6.00j^andB鈫�=7.00i^+2.00j^ . Let counter- clockwise angles be positive. (a) What angle doesA鈫� make with the +x-axis? (b) What angle doeslocalid="1662185215101" B鈫� make with the +x-axis? (c) Vectorlocalid="1662185222673" C鈫� is the sum of localid="1662185243350" A鈫�andlocalid="1662185251585" B鈫� , so localid="1662185235469" C鈫�=A鈫�+B鈫�What angle does localid="1662185258976" C鈫�make with the +x-axis?
