Question

1.) Due to a jaw injury, a patient must wear a strap (see the figure) that produces a net upward force of 7.90 N on his chin. The tension is the same throughout the strap. To what tension must the strap be adjusted to provide the necessary upward force?

2.) In outer space, a constant force is applied ta a 33.9kg probe initially at rest. The probe moves a distance of 100 m in 15 s. What acceleration does this force produce? What is the magnitude of the force?

3.) An ordinary flea has a mass of 205 g . How many newtons does it weigh?

Explanation / Answer

2)

mass of probe , m = 33.9 kg

distance , d = 100 m

t = 15 s

initial speed , u = 0 m/s

Using second equation of motion

d = u * t + 0.5 at^2

100 = 0.5 * a * 15^2

a = 0.89 m/s^2

accleration produced by this force is 0.89 m/s^2

using second law of motion

F = m* a

F = 33.9 * 0.89

F = 30.13 N

the magnitude of force applied on probe is 30.13 N

3)

mass , m = 205 ug

weight , W = 205 *10^-9 * 9.8

W = 2.01 *10^-6 N

the weight of 2.01 *10^-6 N
