Consider a high-speed bus colliding head-on with an innocent bug. The force of impact splatters the unfortunate bug over the win

dshield. According to Newton's 3rd Law, which is greater, the force on the bug or the force on the bus?

Answer:

The force on the bug and the force on the bus are the same.

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law of Motion states that, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" or it can be restated that If a high-speed bus exerts a force on an innocent bug, then the innocent bug must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on the high-speed bus.

Note: though the forces are equal but the effect are not, in this case the innocent bug was splattered but the bus was not destroyed.

How are the forces observed related to the motion of the earth around the sun

Inga [223]

This question sounds like it came after some activity where
some forces were observed. Since we were not there, and
we don't know what the activity was, we don't know what forces
were observed, and we have no clue to how they might be related
to the motion of the Earth around the sun.

A van starts off 152 miles directly north from the city of Springfield. It travels due east at a speed of 25 miles per hour. Aft

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

12.84 miles per hour

Explanation:

Given:

Vertical distance of starting point of van from Springfield (d) = 152 miles

Speed in east direction (s) = 25 mph

Distance traveled in east direction (e) = 91 miles

Let the direct distance from Springfield of the van be 'x' at any time 't'.

Now, from the question, it is clear that, the vertical distance of van is fixed at 152 miles and only the horizontal distance is changing with time.

Now, consider a right angled triangle SNE representing the given situation.

Point S represents Springfield, N represents the starting point of van and E represents the position of van at any time 't'.

SN = d = 152 miles (fixed)

Now, using the pythagorean theorem, we have:

$SE^2=SN^2+NE^2\\\\x^2=d^2+e^2\\\\x^2=(152)^2+e^2----(1)$

Now, differentiating both sides with respect to time 't', we get:

$2x\frac{dx}{dt}=0+2e\frac{de}{dt}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{e}{x}\frac{de}{dt}$

Now, we are given speed as 25 mph. So, $\frac{de}{dt}=25\ mph$

Also, when $e=91\ mi$ , we can find 'x' using equation (1). This gives,

$x^2=23104+(91)^2\\\\x=\sqrt{31385}=177.16\ mi$

Now, plug in the values of 'e' and 'x' and solve for $\frac{dx}{dt}$ . This gives,

$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{91}{177.16}\times 25\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=12.84\ mph$

Therefore, the distance between the van and Springfield is changing at a rate of 12.84 miles per hour

Answer:

1. The sound waves are longitudinal because particles of the medium through which the sound is transported vibrate parallel to the direction that the sound wave moves.

2. A pulse or a wave is introduced into a slinky when a person holds the first coil and gives it a back-and-forth motion. This creates a disturbance within the medium; this disturbance subsequently travels from coil to coil, transporting energy as it moves.

A cylindrical capacitor has an inner conductor of radius 2.7 mmmm and an outer conductor of radius 3.1 mmmm. The two conductors

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

(A) Capacitance per unit length = $4.02 \times 10^{-10}$

(B) The magnitude of charge on both conductor is $Q = 4.22 \times 10^{-19}$ C and the sign of charge on inner conductor is $+Q$ and the sign on outer conductor is $-Q$

Explanation:

Given :

Radius of inner part of conductor $(R_{1})$ = $2.7 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Radius of outer part of conductor $(R_{2})$ = $3.1 \times 10^{-3}$ m

The length of the capacitor $(l)$ = $3 \times 10^{-3}$ m

(A)

Capacitance is purely geometrical property. It depends only on length, radius of conductor.

From the formula of cylindrical capacitor,

$C = \frac{2\pi\epsilon_{o} l }{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } }$

Where, $\epsilon_{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

But we need capacitance per unit length so,

$\frac{C}{l} = \frac{2\pi\epsilon_{o} }{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } }$

capacitance per unit length = $\frac{6.28 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} }{ln(1.148)} = 4.02 \times 10^{-10}$

(B)

The charge on both conductors is given by,

$Q = C \Delta V$

Where, C = capacitance of cylindrical capacitor and value of $C = 12.06 \times 10^{-13}$ F, $\Delta V = 350 \times 10^{-3}$ V

∴ $Q = 4.22 \times 10^{-19}$ C

The magnitude of charge on both conductor is same as above but the sign of charge is different.

Charge on inner conductor is $+Q$ and Charge on outer conductor is $-Q$ .
