Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts

a force of 75.0 N, the second a force of 96.0 N, friction is 12.0 N, and the mass of the third child plus wagon is 27.0 kg.
(a) What is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated? (Select all that apply.)
the wagon
the child in the wagon
the children outside the wagon


(b) Draw a free body diagram, including the weight and all other forces acting on the system. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this diagram.)
(c) Calculate the acceleration.
m/s2
(d) What would the acceleration be if friction is 21.0 N?

(a) The system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are the wagon and the children outside the wagon.

(b) The acceleration of the child-wagon system is 0.33 m/s².

(c) Acceleration of the child-wagon system is zero when the frictional force is 21 N.

<h3>Net force on the third child</h3>

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

∑F = ma

where;

  • ∑F is net force
  • m is mass of the third child
  • a is acceleration of the third child

∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 12 N = 9 N

Thus, the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated are;

  • the wagon
  • the children outside the wagon

<h3>Free body diagram</h3>

           →                 →              Ф                         ←

         1st child      friction       wagon                2nd child

<h3>Acceleration of the  child and wagon system</h3>

a = ∑F/m

a = 9 N / 27 kg

a = 0.33 m/s²

<h3>When the frictional force is 21 N</h3>

∑F = 96 N - 75 N - 21 N = 0 N

a = ∑F/m

a = 0/27 kg

a = 0 m/s²

A train travelling at 20 m/s has 2 000 000 J of kinetic energy. What is the mass of<br> the train?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

<h2>10,000 kg</h2>

Explanation:

The mass of the train can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{2k}{ {v}^{2} }  \\

k is the kinetic energy

v is the velocity

From the question we have

m \frac{2(2000000)}{ {20}^{2} }  =  \frac{4000000}{400}  =  \frac{40000}{4}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>10,000 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

Suppose two vectors have unequal magnitudes. can their sum be zero? explain
GalinKa [24]

Answer;

-  No, Two vectors of unequal magnitude can never sum to zero.

Explanation;

-Two vectors of equal magnitude that are pointing in opposite directions will sum to zero.

-Two vectors of unequal magnitude can never sum to zero. If they point along the same line, since their magnitudes are different, the sum will not be zero.

- If they point in different directions, then you can always decompose one vector into two components: one along the other vector and one perpendicular to the other vector. In this case, the perpendicular component can never be eliminated.

What would happen if you touched an object that is the same temperature as your hand? Would any heat transfer happen? Explain yo
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

When two objects are in thermal equilibrium they are said to have the same temperature. During the process of reaching thermal equilibrium, heat, which is a form of energy, is transferred between the object

which means that it refers to transfer through a selectively permeable partition, the contact path.[1] For the relation of thermal equilibrium, the contact path is permeable only to heat; it does not permit the passage of matter or work; it is called a diathermal connection. According to Lieb and Yngvason, the essential meaning of the relation of thermal equilibrium includes that it is reflexive and symmetric. It is not included in the essential meaning whether it is or is not transitive. After discussing the semantics of the definition, they postulate a substantial physical axiom, that they call the "zeroth law of thermodynamics", that thermal equilibrium is a transitive relation. They comment that the equivalence classes of systems so established are called isotherms
