Answer:

A horse pushes the ground in a backward direction. According to Newton’s third law of motion, a reaction force is exerted on the horse in the forward direction. When the horse walks in the forward direction (with the cart attached to it), it exerts a force in the backward direction on the Earth. An equal force in the opposite direction (forward direction) is applied on the horse by the Earth. This force moves the horse and the cart forward. As a result, the cart moves forward.

What is the definition of matter

xeze [42]

The definition of matter is physical substance in general, as distinct from mind and spirit that which occupies space and possesses rest mass, especially as distinct from energy, which basically means that matter makes up the whole Earth and everything on it.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

A) $P=13.92\ J.s^{-1}$

B) $v=3730.9912\ m.s^{-1}$

C) $v=74.44\ mm.s^{-1}$

D) mosquitoes speed in part B is very much larger than that of part C.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance form the sound source, $s=50\ m$

sound intensity level at the given location, $\beta=114\ dB$

diameter of the eardrum membrane in humans, $d=8.4 \times 10^{-3}\ m$

We have the minimum detectable intensity to the human ears, $I_0=10^{-12}\ W.m^{-2}$

(A)

Now the intensity of the sound at the given location is related mathematically as:

$\beta=10\ log(\frac{I}{I_0} )$ ..........................................(1)

$114=10\ log\ (\frac{I}{10^{-12}} )$

$11.4=log\ I+12\ log\ 10$

$I=0.2512\ W.m^{-2}$

As we know :

$I=\frac{P}{A}$

$0.2512=\frac{P}{\pi\times \frac{8.4^2}{4} }$

$P=13.92\ J.s^{-1}$ is the energy transferred to the eardrums per second.

(B)

mass of mosquito, $m=2\times 10^{-6}\ kg$

Now the velocity of mosquito for the same kinetic energy:

$KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2$

$13.92=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10^{-6}\times v^2$

$v=3730.9912\ m.s^{-1}$

(C)

Given:

Sound intensity, $\beta = 20\ dB$

Using eq. (1)

$20=10\ log\ (\frac{I}{10^{-12}} )$

$2=log\ I+12\ log\ 10$

$I=10^{-10}\ W.m^{-2}$

Now, power:

$P=I.A$

$P=10^{-10}\times \pi\times \frac{8.4^2}{4}$

$P=5.54\times 10^{-9}\ J.s^{-1}$

Hence:

$KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2$

$5.54\times 10^{-9}=0.5\times 2\times 10^{-6}\times v^2$

$v=0.07444\ m.s^{-1}$

$v=74.44\ mm.s^{-1}$

(D)

mosquitoes speed in part B is very much larger than that of part C.

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion? (2 points) Every reaction is equal to the force applied. Forces are balanced when they ar

raketka [301]

Well, they're not quite the way Newton expressed it, but out of all this mess of statements, there are two that are correct AND come from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:

-- The smaller the mass of an object, the greater the acceleration of that object when a force is applied.

-- The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration.

For the other statements in the question:

-- Every reaction is equal to the force applied. True; comes from Newton's 3rd law of motion.

-- Forces are balanced when they are equal and opposite. True; kind of a definition, not from Newton's laws of motion.

-- An object at rest or in motion will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. True; comes from Newton's 1st law of motion.
