A flying mosquito hits the windshield of a moving car and gets smashed, but the car is intact. Which of the following statements

is correct? Group of answer choices The force on the mosquito by the car is much larger than the force on the car by the mosquito, therefore the mosquito gets smashed but the car is intact. The force on the mosquito by the car is much larger than the force on the car by the mosquito because the car is much heavier than the mosquito. The force on the mosquito by the car has the same magnitude as the force on the car by the mosquito. The force on the mosquito by the car is much larger than the force on the car by the mosquito because the car is moving.

Answer:

Action and reaction are the same

Explanation:

Let us carefully analyze the situation in the context of Newton's third law, when the car hits the mosquito exerts a force that acts on the mosquito, ACTION and the mosquito responds to the force that is being applied with a force of equal magnitude and direction or opposite applied to the car (Reaction).

Consequently, the correct answer is: The force of the car on the mosquito is of the same magnitude as that of the mosquito on the car

A bulldozer does 4,500 J of work to push a mound of soil to the top of a ramp that is 15 m high. The ramp is at an
vivado [14]

Answer:

520 N

Explanation:

Work is the dot product of the force vector and displacement vector.

W = F · x

This means it is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them.

W = F x cos θ

The displacement of the soil is 15 m up.  The force is parallel to the ramp.  So the angle between the vectors is 90° − 35° = 55°.

Plugging in the values and solving for F:

4500 J = F (15 m) (cos 55°)

F = 523 N

Rounded to two significant figures, the force is 520 N.

andre [41]

Answer:

Velocity  V = \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} (P + Qt + Rt^{3})

               V = 0 + Q(1) + 3Rt^{2}

               V  = Q + 3Rt²

at t = 0, v_{i} = Q + 3r(0) ==> Q

at t = T, v_{f} = Q + 3rT²

Work done (W) = ΔKE = \frac{1}{2} m(v_f^{2} - v_i^{2})

W = \frac{1}{2} m[(Q + 3RT^{2})^{2} - Q^{2}]

W =  \frac{1}{2} m [Q² + 9R²T⁴ + 2Q(3RT²) - Q²]

W =  \frac{1}{2} m (9R²T⁴ + 6QRT²)

Newton measured the centripetal acceleration of the moon in its orbit around Earth by comparing the force Earth exerts on the mo
telo118 [61]

Answer:

G = 6.64*10^{-11} Nm^2/kg^2

Explanation:

According to Newton 2nd law of motion: F = ma where m is the mass of the moon and a is the centripetal acceleration of the gravitational force.

Also Gravitational force formula

F_g = G\frac{m*ME}{S^2} where G is the gravitational force, ME is the mass of Earth and S is the mean distance between Earth and Moon.

As the moon is at constant circular motion around Earth, there forces balance out:

F = F_g

ma = G\frac{m*ME}{S^2}

G = \frac{S^2*a}{ME}

We can now substitute S = RME = 3.86*10^8 m and a = ac = 2.66*10^{-3} m/s^2 and ME = 5.97 * 10^{24} kg

G = \frac{(3.86*10^8)^2*2.66*10^{-3}}{5.97 * 10^{24}}

G = 6.64*10^{-11} Nm^2/kg^2
