Using the force and vector explain why the car is off the road after being hit by the bus

Physics
1 answer:
Vilka [71]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Solution

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The direction of motion of bus and car can be denoted by velocity vectors ( v1 and v2 ) respectively.

- On a page draw the velocity vector v1 vertically up denoting the direction of motion of bus from origin

- Similarly,draw the velocity vector v1 horizontally left denoting the direction of motion of car from origin.

-  The force exerted by the car-bus interaction is always in the direction of motion.

- The force exerted by the bus is parallel to velocity vector as F1 and force exerted by the car is parallel to velocity vector as F2.

- The vector addition of of the two forces ( F1 and F2 ) will tell us the direction and magnitude of resultant force due to car-bus interaction.

- The resultant force will cause the car to be pushed off the road in the direction shown in the diagram.

DedPeter [7]
E                  S                                                               *

The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).

The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years

Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.

As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.

To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles

A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>

Explain what the wedge does with the downward force of the axe. Why is this useful to someone cutting wood?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The wedge balances propelled force.

Explanation:

According to the laws of motion, when appropriate weight is employed properly, a ball can move a truck. The same basic functions apply in this scenario. You often find a woodcutter raising the axe and letting it fall into the wood. This allows force to equally generate at both sides of the axe, splitting the wood apart.

Explain why 5N + 4N does not always mean a resultant force of 9N
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Since Force is a vector quantity, It depends on both magnitude and direction.

So, the resultant depends also on the direction.
