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

The force of the bus is the same 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 the forces are the same

Suppose you have a pendulum clock which keeps correct time on Earth(acceleration due to gravity = 1.6 m/s2). For ever hour inter

kaheart [24]

The moon clock is A) (9.8/1.6)h compared to 1 hour on Earth

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

In this problem, we want to compare the period of the pendulum on Earth with its period on the Moon. The period of the pendulum on Earth is

$T_e=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_e}}$

where

$g_e = 9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity on Earth

The period of the pendulum on the Moon is

$T_m=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g_m}}$

where

$g_m = 1.6 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity on the Moon

Calculating the ratio of the period on the Moon to the period on the Earth, we find

$\frac{T_m}{T_e}=\frac{g_e}{g_m}=\frac{9.8}{1.6}$

Therefore, for every hour interval on Earth, the Moon clock will display a time of

A) (9.8/1.6)h
