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.

A bag of cement weighing 325 N hangs in equilibrium from three wires. Two of the wires make angles of theta1=60.0 degrees and th
Murljashka [212]
The sketch of the system is: two strings, 1 and 2, are attached to the ceiling and to a third string, 3.The third string holds the bag of cement. 

The free body diagram of the weight with the string 3, drives to the tension T3 = weihgt => T3 = 325 N

The other free body diagram is around the joint of the three strings.

In this case, you can do the horizontal forces equilibrium equation as:

T1* cos(60) - T2*cos(40) = 0

And the vertical forces equilibrium equation:

Ti sin(60) + T2 sin(40) = T3 = 325 N

Then you have two equations with two unknown variables, T1 and T2

0.5 T1 - 0.766 T2 = 0

 0.866 T1 + 0.643T2 = 325

When you solve it you get, T1 = 252.8 N and T2 = 165 N

Answer: T1 = 252.8 N, T2 = 165N, and T3 = 325N
