Answer is 6 tires.

This is a projectile question.

First make sure units are consistent - express speed in m/s.

20 km/h = 20000m / 3600 s = 5.56 m/s

Assume the takeoff point of the ramp is at ground level (height, h, = 0m). We need to determine how long Joe is in the air, and use that time to calculate the horizontal distance he traveled.

Joe is traveling 5.56 m/s on a ramp angled at 20 degrees. There are vertical and horizontal components to his speed:

Vertical speed = 5.56sin20 = 1.90 m/s
Horizontal speed = 5.56cos20 = 5.22 m/s

An easy way to proceed is to calculate the time it takes for Joe’s vertical speed to reach 0m/s - this represents the time when Joe is at his maximum height and is therefore halfway through the trip. Double whatever time this is to find the total time of the trip. Remember he is decelerating due to gravity:

Time to peak:
a = Δv / Δt
-9.8 = -1.9 / Δt
Δt = 0.19s

Total trip time:
0.19 x 2 = 0.38s

Now that we have the total tome Joe is in the air, we can find the horizontal distance he traveled:

v = d / t
5.22 = d / 0.38
d = 1.98m

Now divide this total distance by the length of an individual tire to find the number of tires he will clear:

1.98 / 0.3 = 6.6 tires

Therefore he can jump 6 tires safely (he will land in the middle of the 7th tire).

Lots of steps I know but just try to think of the situation and keep track of the vertical and horizontal things!

Serga [27]

Answer:

q = 6.48 \times 10^{-14} C

Explanation:

Deflection in the drop is due to electric field force

so we will have

F = qE

acceleration of the drop is given as

a = \frac{qE}{m}

a = \frac{q(7.75 \times 10^4)}{1.00 \times 10^{-11}}

a = 7.75 \times 10^{15} q

now we know that time to cross the plates is given as

t = \frac{D}{v}

t = \frac{0.02}{18}

t = 1.11 \times 10^{-3} s

now the deflection is given as

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2

0.310 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{1}{2}(7.75 \times 10^{15} q)(1.11 \times 10^{-3})^2

0.310 \times 10^{-3} = 4.78 \times 10^9 q

q = 6.48 \times 10^{-14} C

What does Newton's third law describe?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Explanation:

The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

How does this relate to Newton's second law?
taurus [48]

Answer:

In ideal case, when no resistive forces are present then both the balls will reach the ground simultaneously. This is because acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass of the falling object. i.e. g = GM/R² where G = 6.67×10²³ Nm²/kg², M = mass of earth and R is radius of earth.

Let us assume that both are metallic balls. In such case, we have to take into account the magnetic field of earth (which will give rise to eddy currents, and these eddy currents will be more, if surface area will be more) and viscous drag of air ( viscous drag is proportional to radius of falling ball), then bigger ball will take slightly more time than the smaller ball.
