Answer:
False
Explanation:
ac = v^2/r
acceleration is not dependent on the mass of the orbiting object.
Answer:
None.
Explanation:
- By definition, work is a process that it happens when an applied force
causes an object to change its position, i.e. to have a displacement.
Since the laptop cart is at rest while he stops at the water fountain, no
net work done is on the laptop cart.
Answer:
b. It is subject to a net force of zero
Explanation:
F = m*a
F = force
m = mass
a = acceleration
Since the object is moving at a constant velocity not speeding up or slowing down and moving in a sight line. All the forces that are acting on the object are canceling each other out so the answer is:
b. It is subject to a net force of zero
Answer:
The car overtakes the truck at a distance d = 3266.2ft from the starting point
Explanation:
Problem Analysis
When car catches truck:
dc = dt = d
dc: car displacement
dt: truck displacement
tc = tt = t
tc: car time
tt : truck time
car kinematics :
car moves with uniformly accelerated movement:
d = vi*t + (1/2)a*t²
vi = 0 : initial speed
d = (1/2)*a*t² Equation (1)
Truck kinematics:
Truck moves with constant speed:
d = v*t Equation (2)
Data
We know that the acceleration of the car is 3.00 ft / s² and the speed of the truck is 70.0 ft / s .
Development problem
Since the distance traveled by the car is equal to the distance traveled by the truck and the time elapsed is the same for both, then we equate equations (1 ) and (2)
Equation (1) = Equation (2)
(1/2)*a*t² = v*t
(1/2)*3*t² = 70*t (We divide both sides by t)
1.5*t = 70
t = 70 ÷ 1.5
t = 46.66 s
We replace t = 46.66 s in equation (2) to calculate d:
d = 70*46.66 = 3266.2ft
d = 3266.2 ft
