Answer:

a = F-ff/m

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion which states that "the rate of change in momentum of a body is directly proportional to the applied force F and acts in the direction of the force.

Mathematically;

F = ma

Since two forces acts on the cart i.e the moving force F and the frictional force Ff , we will take the sum of the forces.

∑F = ma where

m is the mass of the cart

a is its acceleration

∑F = F+(-ff )(since frictional force is an opposing force)

F - ff = ma

Dividing both sides by mass m

a = F-ff/m

What relationship do you see between a star colour and temperature
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Stars emit colors of many different wavelengths, but the wavelength of light where a star's emission is concentrated is related to the star's temperature - the hotter the star, the more blue it is; the cooler the star, the more red it is

After a long night of cramming for a test, your college room-mate hits his head forcefully against the wall of your room in desp
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer: the wall contracts the force exerted by his head. The wall produces the opposite force which is equal to the force his head bangs the wall with.

Explanation: if his head exerts a much greater force than the wall can counteract the wall will be destroyed, if the wall exerts a much greater force than his head exerts he will be pushed far back and might even suffer a broken head.

The wall in this case provides the opposite reactive force.

To charge an electroscope negatively by induction you need: a) a positively charged rod and a ground b) a negatively charged rod
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Option a)

Explanation:

In the process of charging anything by the method of induction, a charged body is brought near to the body which is neutral or uncharged without any physical contact and the ground must be provided to the uncharged body.

The charge is induced and the nature of the induced charge is opposite to that of the charge present on the charged body.

So when a positively charged rod is used to charge an electroscope, the rod which is positive attracts the negative charge in the electroscope and the grounding of the electroscope ensures the removal of the positive charge and renders the electroscope negatively charged.

A very bouncy ball is dropped from a height of 2.47 m to an asphalt playground surface and the height of its 4 th bounce is meas
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

0.912

Explanation:

Given that

Height of bouncing of the ball, h = 1.71 m

Number of times the ball bounced, n = 4 times

Height from which the ball was dropped, H = 2.47

First, let's start by defining what coefficient of restitution means

Coefficient of Restitution, CoR is the "ratio of the final to initial relative velocity between two objects after they collide. It normally ranges from 0 to 1 where 1 would be a perfectly elastic collision."

It is mathematically represented as

CoR = (velocity after collision) / (velocity before collision)

1.71 = 2.47 * c^4, where c = CoR

1.71/2.47 = c^4

c^4 = 0.6923

c = 4th root of 0.6923

c = 0.912
