7.5 N against each other

Given the mass of the two boxes are 4 kg and 6 kg

calculate the common acceleration of the two boxes when they join together

F = ma; m = (4 +6)kg and F = 15N

a = F/m

a = 15/10 = 1.5 m/s²

Calculate the impact force of 4 kg box on 6 kg box

F = ma

F = 4 X 1.5 = 6 N

Calculate the force of 5kg box when it accelerate on 1.5m/s²

F = ma

F = 5 X 1.5 = 7.5N

Calculate the opposing force of 5kg box

F = 15N -7.5N = 7.5N

Therefore, each box exerts a force of 7.5 to the other in opposite direction.

How do you find the oscillation period in seconds for different pendulum lengths?
GalinKa [24]

To find:

The equation to find the period of oscillation.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of the length of the pendulum and inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity.

Thus the period of a pendulum is given by the equation,

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

Where L is the length of the pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

On substituting the values of the length of the pendulum and the acceleration due to gravity at the point where the period of the pendulum is being measured, the above equation yields the value of the period of the pendulum.

Final answer:

The period of oscillation of a pendulum can be calculated using the equation,

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

How are energy, force, and the motion of objects related?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When two objects interact, each one exerts a force on the other that can cause energy to be transferred to or from the object. For example, when energy is transferred to an Earth-object system as an object is raised, the gravitational field energy of the system increases. This energy is released as the object falls; the mechanism of this release is the gravitational force. Likewise, two magnetic and electrically charged objects interacting at a distance exert forces on each other that can transfer energy between the interacting objects.

Explanation:

Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion). ... A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, change direction, change speed, or stop. Without a force, an object that is moving will continue to move and an object at rest will remain at rest.

Snowboarder Jump—Energy and Momentum
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

THE ANSWER TERMS ARE DEFINED BLOW:-

Explanation:

MOMENTUM- IT IS THE ABILITY TO INCREASE OR DEVELOP CONSTANT FORCE.

KINETIC ENERGY:- IT IS THE ENERGY THAT A PRTICLE POSSES WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY IN MOTION.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:- IT IS THE ENERGY THAT A PARTICLE POSSES WHEN IT ACTUALLY IS IN RESTING STATE.

IN THIS ACIVITY THE SNOWBOARDER IS IN THE MOTION STATE THEREFORE HE POSSES KINETIC ENERGY AND TO MAINTAIN THAT KINEITC ENERG FOR A PERIOD OF TIME,MOMENTUM PLAYS IT'S ROLE.
