Answer:

Newton's first law states all objects have inertia, or resistance to change motion. Example: the car that breaks abruptly.

Answer:

An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Explanation:

When an athlete tries to stop his career, it takes several meters to stop completely, due to the inertia produced.

When trying to push a car, at first it is very difficult, because, due to inertia, the car tends to remain still. But once it is put into motion, the effort is much less to be done, since then inertia causes it to keep moving.

you have been called to testify as a as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision Car A weighs 1515 pounds and

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

70.6 mph

Explanation:

Car A mass= 1515 lb

Car B mass=1125 lb

Speed of car B is 46 miles/h

Distance before locking, d=19.5 ft

Coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.75

Initial momentum of car B=mv where m is mass and v is velocity in ft/s

46 mph*1.46667=67.4666668 ft/s

$Momentum_B=1125*67.4666668 ft/s$

Initial momentum of car A is given by

$Momentum_A=1515v_a$ where $v_a$ is velocity of A

Taking East as positive and west as negative then the sum of initial momentum is

$1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)$

The common velocity is represented as $v_c$ hence after collision, the final momentum is

$Momentum_final=(m_a+m_b)v_c=(1515+1125)v_c=2640v_c$

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, sum of initial and final momentum equals each other hence

$1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)= 2640v_c$

The acceleration of two cars $a=-\mug=-0.75*32.17=-24.1275 ft/s^{2}$

From kinematic equation

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$ hence

$v^{2}-u^{2}=2as$

$0^{2}-(v_c)^{2}=2*-24.1275*19.5$

$v_c=\sqrt{2*24.1275*19.5}=30.67 ft/s$

Substituting the value of $v_c$ in equation $1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)= 2640v_c$

$1515v_a-(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)= 2640*30.67$

$1515v_a=(1125*67.4666668 ft/s)+2640*30.67$

$v_a=\frac {156868.8}{1515}=103.5438 ft/s$

$\frac {103.5438}{1.46667}=70.59787 mph\approx 70.60 mph$

wel

If an electron, a proton, and a deuteron move in a magnetic field with the same momentum perpendicularly, the ratio of the radii of their circular paths will be:

1: √2 : 1

<h3>How is the ratio of the perpendicular parts obtained?</h3>

To obtain the ratio of the perpendicular parts, one begins bdy noting that the mass of the proton = 1m, the mass of deuteron = 2m, and the mass of the alpha particle = 4m.

The ratio of the radii of the parts can be obtained by finding the root of the masses and dividing this by the charge. When the coefficients are substituted into the formula, we will have:

r = √m/e : √2m/e : √4m/2e

When resolved, the resulting ratios will be:

1: √2 : 1

A machine does 1500 joules of work in 30 second What is the power of the machine

lesya [120]
