A sled sliding on a flat,icy surface with a constant velocity is best described by

Physics
1 answer:
AysviL [449]3 years ago
5 0
The first one is actually Newton's First Law of Motion. 

Newton's First Law of Motion is commonly stated as "an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force." This sled is moving across the ice at the same constant speed and velocity meaning it will won't stop unless an outside force acts upon it. An example being someone coming and grabbing the sled or maybe the sled slips off of the ice and finds itself stuck in a pile of snow. Similarly, if the sled was not moving, it would not move unless acted upon again by an outside force. 

You believed it to be Newton's Third Law, but for future reference, his third law is more about every action having an equal opposite reaction. This wouldn't explain what is currently happening with the sled. A helpful tip into figuring out where to start in figuring out the answer I got is in the example you gave it literally states "with a constant velocity" which also ends up being in the description of Newton's First Law. Though, don't rely on that because the answer could have had a made up definition.

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to your other question. I apologize. Hope this helped.

Acceleration of a refrigerator 30s after a person begins pushing it at a force of 400 N
ryzh [129]

Question: Find acceleration of a refrigerator 30s after a person begins pushing it at a force of 400 N, If the mass of the refrigerator is 10 kg.

Answer:

40 m/s²

Explanation:

Applying,

F = ma................Equation 1

Where F = Force applied to the refrigerator, m = mass of the refrigerator, a = acceleration of the refrigerator.

make a the subject of the equation

a = F/m............ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 400 N, m = 10 kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

a = 400/10

a = 40 m/s²

What is the difference between vector and scalar ?
ddd [48]
The easiest, non-technical way to think about it is like this:

-- A scalar is a quantity that has a size but no direction.
Those include temperature, speed, cost, volume, distance, etc.

One number is all there is to know about it, and there's no way you can
add more of the same stuff to it that would cancel both of them out.

-- A vector is a quantity that has a size and also has a direction.
Those include force, displacement, velocity, acceleration, etc.

It takes more than one number to completely describe one of these.
Also, if you combine two of the same vector quantity in different ways,
you can get different results, and they can even cancel each other out.

Here are some examples.  Notice that in each of these examples,
every speed has a direction that goes along with it.  This turns the
scalar speed into a vector velocity.

If you're walking inside a bus, and the bus is driving along the road,
then your velocity along the road is the sum of your walking velocity
inside the bus plus the velocity of the bus along the road.

-- If you're walking north up the middle of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is driving north along the road at 20 miles per hour, then
your velocity along the road is 22 miles per hour north.

-- If you're walking south towards the back of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is driving north along the road at 5 miles per hour, then your
velocity along the road is 3 miles per hour north.

-- If you're walking south towards the back of the bus at 2 miles per hour
and the bus is just barely rolling north along the road at 2 miles per hour,
then your velocity along the road is zero.

--  If you're in a big railroad flat-car that's rolling north along the track
at 2 miles per hour, and you walk across the flat-car towards the east
at 2 miles per hour, then your velocity along the ground is 2.818 miles
per hour toward the northeast.

Charge is placed on two conducting spheres that are very far apart and connected by a long thin wire. The radius of the smaller
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

surface charge density on each sphere is 440 \times 10^{-9} C

Explanation:

given data

radius of smaller sphere = 5 cm

radius of  larger sphere is 12 cm

electric field at surface of larger sphere = 660 kV/m = 660 × 1000 v/m

solution

we apply here electric field formula that is express as

E = (\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon  })\times  (\frac{Q_{1} }{R^{2} } )    .................1

put here value

660000 = 9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{Q1}{0.12^2}  

Q1 = 1056 × 10^{-9}

and

here field inside a conductor is zero so that electric potential ( V ) is constant

\frac{Q{1} }{R} = \frac{Q{2} }{r}   ..................2

so Q2 will be

Q2 =  \frac{5}{12} \times 1056 \times 10^{-9}  

Q2 =  440 \times 10^{-9}  C

A ball is thrown from the top of one building toward a tall building 50 m away. The initial velocity of the ball is 20 m/s at 40
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Ball hit the tall building 50 m away below 10.20 m its original level

Explanation:

Horizontal speed = 20 cos40 = 15.32 m/s

Horizontal displacement = 50 m

Horizontal acceleration = 0 m/s²

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

    50 = 15.32 t + 0.5 x 0 x t²

     t = 3.26 s

Now we need to find how much vertical distance ball travels in 3.26 s.

Initial vertical speed  = 20 sin40 = 12.86 m/s

Time = 3.26 s

Vertical acceleration = -9.81 m/s²

Substituting in s = ut + 0.5at²

    s = 12.86 x 3.26 + 0.5 x -9.81 x 3.26²

    s = -10.20 m

So ball hit the tall building 50 m away below 10.20 m its original level
