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

Two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. If wave X has a greater frequency than wave Y
____ [38]

Answer:

Wave X has a shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

The relation between the speed of a wave, its wavelength and frequency is given by :

v=f\lambda

It can be seen that the relationship between the frequency and wavelength is inverse.

In this problem, it is mentioned that two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. The frequency of wave X is greater than wave Y. Then it would mean that wave X have shorter wavelength than wave Y (due to inverse relation).

A 26.2-kg dog is running northward at 3.02 m/s, while a 5.30-kg cat is running eastward at 2.74 m/s. Their 65.1-kg owner has the
REY [17]

Answer:

Angle with the +x axis is θ = 79.599degree

Then the velocity of owner = 1.235m/s

Explanation:

Given that the mass of dog is m1 =26.2 kg

velocity of dog is u1 = 3.02 m/s (north)

mass of cat is m2 = 5.3 kg

velocity is u2 = 2.74 m/s (east )

Mass of owner is M = 65.1 kg

Consider the east direction along +x axis andnorth along +y

momentum of dog is Py = m1 x u1

= 79.124 kg.m/s (j)

momentum of cat is Px = m2 x u2

= 14.522 kg.m/s (i)

Then the net magnitude of momentum is P = (Px2 + Py2)1/2

= 80.445

Angle with the +x axis is θ =tan-1(Py / Px ) = 79.599 degree

Then the velocity of owner is v = P / M = 1.235 m/s

Gravity __________ your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and __________it when you are driving downhill.
Oxana [17]
Gravity decreases your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill since the direction of motion is opposite for both. Driving uphill is force going upward while gravity pulls object down. When it is going downhill, the car tends to go faster since the gravity helps the object to go down by adding another value to the total acceleration of the motion of the object. Using the forces of balance, an object going up tends to become heavier while object going down tends to become lighter because of the gravity factor. Another analogy is the motion of elevators going up and down that incurs effects to your weiight.
