Answer:
C. Particles in a gas collide less often.
Answer:
a. 3,392.7 N
b. 3,392.7 N
Explanation:
We are given the following information;
- Mass of the truck as 1052 kg
- initial speed as 0 m/s
- Final speed as 20.0 m/s
- Time taken as 6.20 s
#a. We are required to calculate the acceleration;
We need to know the formula of getting acceleration;
a = (v-u)/t
Where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity
Therefore;
a = (20 m/s - 0 m/s)/6.20s
= 3.225 m/s²
Thus, the average acceleration of the truck is 3.225 m/s²
#b. We are required to calculate the net force on the truck
We need to know that;
According to the second Newton's law of motion, F=ma
Where F is the net force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.
Therefore;
Net force, F = mass × Acceleration
= 1052 kg × 3.225 m/s²
= 3,392.7 N
Thus, the net force on the truck is 3,392.7 N
Answer:
A) 21.2 kg.m/s at 39.5 degrees from the x-axis
Explanation:
Mass of the smaller piece = 200g = 200/1000 = 0.2 kg
Mass of the bigger piece = 300g = 300/1000 = 0.3 kg
Velocity of the small piece = 82 m/s
Velocity of the bigger piece = 45 m/s
Final momentum of smaller piece = 0.2 × 82 = 16.4 kg.m/s
Final momentum of bigger piece = 0.3 × 45 = 13.5 kg.m/s
since they acted at 90oc to each other (x and y axis) and also momentum is vector quantity; then we can use Pythagoras theorems
Resultant momentum² = 16.4² + 13.5² = 451.21
Resultant momentum = √451.21 = 21.2 kg.m/s at angle 39.5 degrees to the x-axis ( tan^-1 (13.5 / 16.4)
Answer:
D. Newton's Third Law of Motion
Explanation:
Newton's law of gravity is definitely not applicable to your hands. So we can cross this bad boy out
Newton's First Law is F=MA (force equals mass times acceleration). This is basically the root of most physics but it isn't the reason for your hand being red after hitting a wall.
Newton's Second law deals with velocities and forces, so even though you are apply a force your are not changing the velocity of the wall much.
Newton's Third Law basically says that for whatever force you apply to an object, that object will apply an equal and opposite force back to you. This is why your hand gets red. When you slap the wall with all your strength, the wall hits your hand back with the same amount of force. The 2nd law can also be seen when you're trying to push a desk and it won't budge. You are pushing on it, but the desk is pushing back. (there are multiple other factors applicable like friction but we physicists like to ignore them :) )
I hope this helps!
To solve this problem we will apply Newton's second law and the principle of balancing Forces on the rope. Newton's second law allows us to define the weight of the mass, through the function

Here,
m = mass
a = g = Gravitational acceleration
Replacing we have that the weight is


Since the rope is taut and does not break, the net force on the rope will be zero.




Therefore the tensile force in the rope is 98N
