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.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Impulse = (force) x (time)

The first impulse was (20 N) x (10 sec) = 200 meters/sec

The second one is (50 N) x (time) and we want it equal to the first one, so

(50 N) x (time) = 200 meters/sec

Divide each side by 50N : Time = 200/50 = 4 seconds

By the way, the quantity we're playing with here is the cart's momentum.

An object starts at rest. Its acceleration over 30 seconds is shown in the graph below:

ddd [48]

Answer:

The instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds is 12.5 m/s.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

An object starts at rest. Its acceleration over 30 seconds.

We need to calculate the instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds

We know that,

Area under the acceleration -time graph gives speed.

According to figure,

$speed = area\ of\ tringle$

$speed=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h$

$speed =\dfrac{1}{2}\times5\times5$

$speed-12.5\ m/s$

Hence, The instantaneous speed of the object after the first five seconds is 12.5 m/s.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Water is very different from honey, syrup, glycerine, or oil. It pours easily and is not thick and sticky like the others. The property that determines how easily a liquid pours is called VISCOSITY. Water has a low viscosity; syrup has a high viscosity. Liquids with a high viscosity are said to be viscous.

Answer: Satellite X has a greater period and a slower tangential speed than Satellite Y

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion “The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.

$T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r^{3}$ (1)

Where;

$G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$ is the Gravitational Constant

$M=5.972(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$r$ is the semimajor axis of the orbit each satellite describes around Earth (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)
