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]2 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.

Paul’s 10 kg baby sister Susan sits on a mat. Paul pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30° above the floo
kiruha [24]

Answer:

The speed of Susan is 2.37 m/s

Explanation:

To visualize better this problem, we need to draw a free body diagram.

the work is defined as:

W=F*d*cos(\theta)

here we have the work done by Paul and the friction force, so:

W_p=F_p*d*cos(0)\\F_p=30N*cos(30^o)=26N\\W_p=26*3*(1)=78J

W_f=F_f*d*cos(180)\\F_f=\µ*(10*9.8-30N*sin(30^o))=16.6N\\W_p=16.6*3*(-1)=50J

Now the change of energy is:

W_p-W_f=\frac{1}{2}m*v^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(78J-50J)}{10kg}}\\v=2.37m/s

How do rocks within Earth change as P waves pass? How do rocks within Earth change as P waves pass? Rocks within Earth both expa
ohaa [14]

Rocks within Earth both expand and contract as P waves pass

Explanation:

Rocks within the earth both expands and contracts as P-waves passes through them. P-waves are elastic waves.

  • Elastic waves behaves in such a way that they do not cause permanent deformation of rocks.
  • They can be said to cause elastic deformation when they travel through rocks.
  • They simply temporarily expand and contract the rock within a short period by causing the vibration of particles of the medium.
  • After a short while, the rock returns back to its original position as if nothing has happened to it.
  • These elastic waves are better called seismic waves.
  • P-waves are primary waves that can travel through any medium.

A wire is oriented along the x-axis. It is connected to two batteries, and a conventional current of 2.6 A runs through the wire
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that, the magnitude of magnetic force is given as;

|F_{mg}^> | = I(B^> × L^> )

given that

I = 2.6 A

B^> = 0.17

L^> = 0.52

so we substitute

|F_{mg}^> | = 2.6( 0.17i" × 0.52j" )

|F_{mg}^> | = 0.2298 N

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic force on the wire is 0.2298 N

A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

y = 17.04 ft

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

y = 180 ft

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft

now from the equation of parabola we have

y = k x^2

180 = k(650^2)

k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}

now we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)

y = 17.04 ft
