The boy in the wagon begins throwing bricks out of the wagon to simulate rocket propulsion. The wagon begins at rest, and the bo

y throws three bricks. The boy’s weight is 80lbs, and the weight of the wago 20 lbs. The bricks weigh 10 lbs each, and he throws them with a horizontal velocity of 10 ft/s relative to the wagon. Neglect horizontal forces on the wagon's wheels.
A) What velocity does the boy attain if he throws the bricks one at a time?
B) What velocity does the boy attain if he throws all three bricks at once?
C) Compare the results of parts (a) and (b). What does this suggest about rocket propulsion? Why are these results different?

Which statement about tensile stress is true? A. Forces that act perpendicular to the surface and pull an object apart exert a t
svp [43]

Answer:

A. Forces that act perpendicular to the surface and pull an object apart exert a tensile stress on the object.

Explanation:

Tensile stress is referred as a deforming force, in which force acts perpendicular to the surface and pull an object apart, attempting to elongate it.

The tensile stress is a type of normal stress, in which a perpendicular force creates the stress to an object’s surface.

Hence, the correct option is "A."

Gas is kept in a 0.1 m diameter cylinder under the weight of a 100 kg piston that is held down by a spring with a stiffness k =
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The spring is compressed by 0.275 meters.

Explanation:

For equilibrium of the gas and the piston the pressure exerted by the gas on the piston should be equal to the sum of  weight of the piston and the force the spring exerts on the piston

Mathematically we can write

Force_{pressure}=Force_{spring}+Weight_{piston}

we know that

Force_{pressure}=Pressure\times Area=300\times 10^{3}\times \frac{\pi \times 0.1^2}{4}=750\pi Newtons

Weight_{piston}=mass\times g=100\times 9.81=981Newtons

Now the force exerted by an spring compressed by a distance 'x' is given by Force_{spring}=k\cdot x=5\times 10^{3}\times x

Using the above quatities in the above relation we get

5\times 10^{3}\times x+981=750\pi \\\\\therefore x=\frac{750\pi -981}{5\times 10^{3}}=0.275meters

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. Market...Command

Explanation:

In a mixed economy, socialism and capitalism are combined in the economic policy, such the economy allows ownership of and offers protection for private property as well as provision of certain degree of allowance of capital utilization by the private sector. The government of a country with a mixed economic system can disrupt, obstruct, or restrict the activities taking place in the economy in order to meet the social objectives of the country's.

Given resistance 30ohms Inductance 200mH is connected to a 230v,50hZ supply. Impedance 69.6ohms Calculate current consumed?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

the current consumed is 3.3 A

Explanation:

Given;

resistance, R = 30 ohms

inductance, L = 200 mH

Voltage supply, V = 230 V

frequency of the coil, f = 50 Hz

impedance, Z = 69.6 Ohms

The current consumed is calculated as;

I = \frac{V}{Z} \\\\I = \frac{230}{69.6} \\\\I = 3.3 \ A

Therefore, the current consumed is 3.3 A
