What explains the dramatically different magnitudes of accelerations that result when a mosquito collides head on with a moving

truck
Physics
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Mass of the vehicle and small bug.

Explanation:

  • By Newton's third law, force on bug and vehicle will be same when they collide with each other irrespective of their masses.
  • But according to Newton's second law, force is mass times acceleration. Since the force on each mass is same, the smaller mass will accelerate more and the heavier mass will accelerate less for the same force.
  • Therefore the acceleration of bug will be very greater than vehicle as the mass of the bug is very small as compared to vehicle.

A truck starts from rest with an acceleration of 0.3 m/ S^2 find its speed in km/h when it has moves through 150 m​
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

9.5 m/s

Explanation:

Distance, S = 150m

Acceleration, a = 0.3 m/s^2

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Final velocity, v

Use kinematics equation

v^2 - u^2 = 2aS

v^2 - 0 = 2*0.3*150 = 90

v = sqrt(90) = 9.49 m/s

Which way does the friction arrow go in a free body diagram for a moving object point
True [87]

Answer:

Frictional force opposes relative motion between surfaces

Explanation:

Friction that exists when the object is not moving is called static friction.  In static friction ,If we are applying a force in the object the frictional force is in the opposite  direction . If it is not the case, there have been some net force and the object starts accelarating.

The main component of the contact force of two objects is normal force and that is in the perpendicular direction.  Frictional force is other complnent. This frictional force is parallel to the interface between objects. Frictional force opposes relative motion between surfaces.
