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

How deep is the event horizon
Basile [38]

Explanation:

The supermassive black holes that the Event Horizon Telescope is observing are far larger; Sagittarius A*, at the center of the Milky Way, is about 4.3 million times the mass of our sun and has a diameter of about 7.9 million miles (12.7 million km), while M87 at the heart of the Virgo A galaxy is about 6 billion solar ..

A cylinder which is in a horizontal position contains an unknown noble gas at 4.63 × 104 Pa and is sealed with a massless piston
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure P=4.63\times10^{4}\ Pa

Remove heat \Delta U= -1.95\times10^{4}\ J

Radius = 0.272 m

Distance d = 0.163 m

We need to calculate the internal energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

dU=Q-W...(I)

Where, dU = internal energy

Q = heat

W = work done

Put the value of W in equation (I)

dU=Q-PdV

Where, W = PdV

Put the value in the equation

dU=-1.95\times10^{4}-(4.63\times10^{4}\times3.14\times(0.272)^2\times(-0.163))

dU=-17746.78\ J

Hence, The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J

Two round concentric metal wires lie on a tabletop, one inside the other. The inner wire has a diameter of 21.0 cm and carries a
Burka [1]

Solution :

a). B at the center :

     $=\frac{u\times I}{2R}$

Here, one of the current is in the clockwise direction and therefore, the other current must be in the clockwise direction in order to cancel out the effect of the magnetic field that is produced by the other.

Therefore, the answer is ANTICLOCKWISE or COUNTERCLOCKWISE

b). Also, the sum of the fields must be zero.

Therefore,

$\left(\frac{u\times I_1}{2R_1}\right) + \left(\frac{u\times I_2}{2R_2}\right) = 0$

So,

$\frac{I_1}{d_1}= \frac{I_2}{d_2}$

$=\frac{16}{21}=\frac{I_2}{32}$

$I_2=24.38 $ A

Therefore, the current in the outer wire is 24.38 ampere.

Ocean waves of wavelength 26 m are moving directly toward a concrete barrier wall at 4.0 m/s . The waves reflect from the wall,
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a) the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

wavelength λ = 26 m

velocity v = 4.0 m/s

a) How far from the wall is she?

Now, The first antinode is formed at a distance λ/2 from the wall, since the separation distance between the person and wall is;

x = λ/2

we substitute

x = 26 m / 2

x = 13 m

Therefore, the distance between her and the wall is 13 m

b) What is the period of her up-and-down motion?

we know that the relationship between frequency, wavelength and wave speed is;

v = fλ

hence, f = v/λ

we also know that frequency is expressed as the reciprocal of the time period;

f = 1/T

Hence

1/T = v/λ

solve for T

Tv = λ

T = λ/v

we substitute

T = 26 m / 4 m/s

T = 6.5 s

Therefore, the period of her up-and-down motion is 6.5 s
