The net force is defined as the vector sum of all the forces that are present in an object. The formula for net force is F=ma. Everything else cancels out like the force of gravity on the car, and the reactive force of the road surface, etc. It can be concluded that the force exerted by the trailer on the car is the same as that exerted by the car on the trailer. Given that the acceleration is 1.75 m/s^2, the car is 1200 kilograms, and the trailer is 540 kilograms. Thus, the net force acting on the car is equal to 21qkm/hr^2

Determine the total moment of inertia of a merry-go round with 5 children sitting on it. Of the five children, four are seated a
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

We have five children.

Each of mass m =30kg

They sit on a merry go round

Mass of Merry go round M= 150kg

Radius of Merry go round is r =2m

Four children sit at the edge of the merry go round but one child sit at the centre.

The four child that sit at the edge are 2m from the centre of the merry go round but the one at the centre is 0m from the centre

Moment of inertia?

Moment of inertia is given as

I=Σmi•ri²

For the question, the moment of inertia is the combination of inertial of child and the merry go round

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child)+ I(last child)

The merry go round is assumed to be a solid cylinder, so it is going to have the moment of inertia of solid cylinder

Then,

I(merry go round ) =½ Mr²

Also, Four of the child has the same moment of inertia, they are 2m form the centre of the merry go round why the last child has no moment of inertia

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child) +I(last child )

I= ½Mr² + 4mr² + mr'²

I = ½ × 150 ×2² + 4×30×2² + 30×0²

I = 300 +480+0

I = 780 kgm²

A point charge q1 = 3.0 µC is at the origin and a point charge q2 = 6.0 µC is on the x axis at x = 10 m.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

a) 1.6 mN  b) -1.6 mN  c) -1.6 mN  d) 1.6 mN

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between 2 point charges, obeys the Coulomb's Law, that can be expressed as follows:

F₁₂ = k*q₁*q₂/(r₁₂)² (in magnitude)

The direction of the force, is along the  line that joins the  charges (along the x axis) and as q₁ and q₂ are of the same sign, aims away from both charges.

a) So, for the force on q₂, we have:

F₁₂ = 9*18*10⁻⁵ N = 1.6 mN (positive as it is aiming in the positive x direction)

b) The force on q1, according to Newton's 3rd Law, is just equal and opposite to the one on q2:

F₂₁ = (-9*18*10⁻⁵) N = -1.6 mN (towards the negative x direction, away from q1)

c) If q₂ were -6.0 μC, the force will be the same in magnitude, but as now both charges have different signs, they wil attract each other, so the direction of the forces will be exactly the opposite to the first case:

F₁₂ = -1.6 mN (going towards the origin, where q₁ is located)

F₂₁ =  1.6 mN (going in the positive x direction, towards q₂)
