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.

The speed limit on some interstate highways is roughly 80 km/h. What is this in meters per second? How many miles per hour is th
sergey [27]

Answer:

1) Speed in m/s equals 22.22 m/s.

2) Speed in miles per hour equals 49.712 mph.

Explanation:

Since we know that in 1 kilometer there are 1000 meters and in 1 hour there are 3600 seconds hence we can write

80km/h=\frac{80\times 1000m}{3600s}=22.22m/s

Now we know that 1 mile equals 1.609 kilometer  hence we conclude that 1 kilometer equals \frac{1}{1.609}=0.6214mile

Hence

80km/h=\frac{80\times 0.6214miles}{1h}=49.712mph

The electrical conductivity of a substance depends on the ability of the ____ in it to move. A) electrons B) neutrons C) protons
musickatia [10]

The correct answer to the question is A) Electrons.

EXPLANATION:

The electrical conductivity of a metal or any substance depends on the free electron concentration of the metals.

Free electrons are those electrons which are present in the conduction band of the metals. These electrons experience less amount of force attraction from the nucleus. Protons and neutrons do not  contribute anything to the current conduction in a metal.These sub atomic particles are bound to the nuclei of atoms.

When we maintain potential difference across the two ends of a conductor, the free electrons are drifted towards the positive terminal of the battery.

Hence, electrical conductivity of a substance is the ability of the electrons to move inside the substance.

More is the conductivity of the substance, the lesser is the resistance to the flow of electrons inside the substance, and vice versa.

What force causes a 1-kg mass to accelerate at a rate of 1 meter per second each second?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

F=1N

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

To solve this problem we apply Newton's second law:

The acceleration of an object is proportional to the force F acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass m.

a = F / m

Where,

F = m * a Formula (1)

F: Force in Newtons (N)

m: mass in kg

a: acceleration in m/(s^2)

a = v / t  Formula (2)

v: speed in m/s

t: time in seconds (s)

Known information

We know the following data:

m = 1kg

v = 1 m/s

t = 1s

Development of the problem:

In the Formula (2): a = \frac{\frac{1m}{s}}{1s} = 1 \frac{m}{s^2}

In the Formula (1): F=1kg* 1 \frac{m}{s^2}=1N

Which of the following objects has the greatest kinetic energy?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

a baseball flying through the air at 90 miles per hour

Explanation:

For the question, Therefore, the kinetic energy of an object is proportional to the square of its velocity (speed). In other words, If the velocity is doubled the kinetic energy will increase by a factor of four.

One end of a string 6.26 m long is moved up and down with simple harmonic motion at a frequency of 95 Hz . The waves reach the o
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of string L=6.26\ m

frequency f=95\ Hz

time taken by wave to reach at other end t=0.5\ s

speed of  wave is given by

v=\frac{length\ of\ string}{time\ taken}

v=\frac{6.26}{0.5}

v=12.52\ m/s

wavelength of is given by

\lambda =\frac{velocity}{frequency}

\lambda =\frac{12.52}{95}

\lambda =0.131\ m
