The forces acting on a body and the type of motion that results are given by Newton's three Laws of motion

The <u>force </u>of the bus is <u>the same</u> as reactive force of the bug

Reason:

According to Newton's third Law of motion, given that the bug collides

with the bus, the force with which the bus hits the bug is equal to the

reactive force of the bug on the on the bus

According to Newton's second Law of motion, force is equal to the rate of

change of the momentum produced

The impulse of the force of the bus on the bug is given as follows;

F·Δt = m·(v₂ - v₁)

Given that the force of the bus is large, the change in momentum, m·(v₂ - v₁),

is also large such that the parts of the bug are split by the rapid change in

velocity, and the bug splatters on the windshield, and is then carried along

on the trip,

The equally large reactive force of the bug, is such that the bug splatters

due its magnitude

Therefore, the correct response is that <u>the forces are the same</u>

notka56 [123]

Answer:

<h2>The angular velocity just after collision is given as</h2><h2> $\omega = 0.23 rad/s$ </h2><h2>At the time of collision the hinge point will exert net external force on it so linear momentum is not conserved</h2>

Explanation:

As per given figure we know that there is no external torque about hinge point on the system of given mass

So here we will have

$L_i = L_f$

now we can say

$m_1v_1\frac{L}{2} = (m_2L^2 + m_1(\frac{L}{2})^2)\omega$

so we will have

$0.49(1.89)(0.45) = (2.13(0.90)^2 + 0.49(0.45)^2)\omega$

$\omega = 0.23 rad/s$

Linear momentum of the system is not conserved because at the time of collision the hinge point will exert net external force on the system of mass

So we can use angular momentum conservation about the hinge point

Why electric forces are assential to forming compunds?

lidiya [134]

Ions were once atoms with the same number of electrons and protons. Since they have opposite charges atoms are neutral. When they become ions the lose or gain electrons and become unbalanced.These different charges are attracted to each other via electric forces<span>.</span>

A cart of mass 0.8 kg on a horizontal frictionless track has a tension of 4 N applied to on side of the cart. Calculate the acce

sweet [91]

Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a cart, m = 0.8 kg

Tension in the car, F = 4 N

Net force, F = ma

a is acceleration of the cart.

So,

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{4\ N}{0.8\ kg}\\\\a=5\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the cart is $5\ m/s^2$ .
