The force of impact is same for both bus and the bicycle. The acceleration of bicycle will be greater than the acceleration of bus.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The interaction that occurs between two objects refers to collision. this makes the two objects to come in contact with each other. The third law of Newton states that, when there occurs a collision between two objects, then the force that is applied on each object will be same. But, the direct in which the force is impacted will be in opposite direction.

The magnitude of the forces will be equal but the direction will not be same. The collision results in gaining the momentum by one object and losing momentum by another. The acceleration is mainly associated with the mass of the object. When the object has smaller mass, it will be accelerated more. In the given example, as bus is heavier than bicycle, the bicycle will have greater acceleration than the bus.

Pls help<br> What graph indicates no reference to direction of motion, and explain why.
Komok [63]

Answer:

graph A

Explanation:

the slope of the distance-time graph is speed, speed is a scalar (with magnitudes but no direction)

but the slope for the velocity time graph is acceleration, acceleration is vector quantity ( has magnitude and direction)

If you went to a planet that had the twice the radius as Earth, but the same mass, a 1 kg pineapple would have a weight of
kicyunya [14]

Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.

A 120 V fish-tank heater is rated at 130W. Calculate (a) the current through the heater when it is operating, and (b) its resist
7nadin3 [17]

Explanation:

The power P dissipated by a heater is defined as

P = VI

where V is the voltage and I is the current.

a) The current running through a 130-W heater is

I = \dfrac{P}{V} = \dfrac{130\:\text{W}}{120\:\text{V}} = 1.08\:\text{A}

b) The resistance <em>R</em><em> </em>of the heater is

P = VI = (IR)I = I^2R

where V= IR is our familiar Ohm's Law.

\Rightarrow R = \dfrac{P}{I^2} = \dfrac{130\:\text{W}}{(1.08\:\text{A})^2}

R = 110.8\:Ω
