A stack of books rests on a level frictionless surface. A force F acts on the stack, and it accelerates at 3.0 m/s2. A 1.0 kg bo

ok is then added to the stack. The same force is applied, and now the stack accelerates at 2.0 m/s2.

Answer:

m1 = 2 kg

m2 = 3kg

Explanation:

The force can be getting by

F = m * a

F1 = F2

a1 = 3.0 m/s^2

a2 = 2.0 m/s^2

The force F1=F2 because the force is applied so get the a2 acceleration

m1 * a1 = m2 * a2

m2 = m1 + 1kg

m1 *(3.0 m/s^2) = m2* (2.0 m/s^2)

m1 *(3.0 m/s^2) = (m1 + 1kg) * (2.0 m/s^2)

m1*(3.0m/s^2-2.0m/s^2)=2 kg*m/s^2

Solve to find the mass

m1 m/s^2= 2 kg*m/s^2

m1 = 2 kg

m2 = 3kg

A 1500 kg car traveling at 15.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4500 kg truck that is at rest at a stopligt. The car comes to a
Burka [1]

Answer:

5 m/s, moving to the South.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of car, m = 1500 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 15 m/s

Mass of truck, M = 4500 kg

Initial velocity of truck, v = 0 m/s (Truck is at rest)

Final velocity of car, U = 0 m/s (Car comes to a stop)

Final velocity of truck = V

Because the collision is elastic, we can apply the principle of conservation of momentum, we have that:

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

m*u + M*U = m*v + M*V

(1500 * 15) + (4500 * 0) = (1500 * 0) + (4500 * V)

22500 + 0 = 0 + 00V

=> V = 22500/4500

V = 5 m/s

The velocity carries a positive sign, hence, it's moving in the same direction as the car was moving initially.

That is, it's moving to the South.

.<br> Why are meteorites moving?
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Glow

Explanation:

Actually, it is the air in front of the meteoroid that heats up. The particle is traveling at speeds between 20 and 30 kilometers per second. It compresses the air in front, causing the air to get hot. The air is so hot it begins to glow — creating a meteor - the streak of light observed from Earth.

Hope this helped!

What is conduction?explain? ​
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Thermal conduction is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. The colliding particles, which include molecules, atoms and electrons, transfer disorganized microscopic kinetic and potential energy, when joined known as internal energy.

quester [9]

Answer: 888.45 K or 615.3 °c

Explanation:

According to Gay Lussacs law which states that at constant volume, pressure of an ideal gas is directly proportional to it's absolute temperature.

P/T = Constant

Therefore, P1/T1 = P2/T2

P1 = 6.7 atm

T1= 23°c = 273.15 + 23 = 296.15K

Since P2 is tripled, then,

P2 = 6.7 x 3= 20.1 atm

T2 = (20.1 x 296.15) ÷ 6.7

T2 = 888.45 K

Or in celcius 615.3°c
