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 Viking ship roller coaster at the fair has a mass of 36,000 kg. If at its peak it reaches a height of 20 m off the ground, how
adell [148]

Answer:

7056 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ship roller coaster is 36,000 kg.

It reaches a height of 20 m off the ground

We need to find the gravitational potential energy does it have. The formula for the gravitational potential energy ios given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 36,000 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20 m

= 7056000 J

or

E = 7056 kJ

So, it will have 7056 kJ of gravitational potential energy.

A body of mass m1 = 1.5 kg moving along a directed axis in the positive sense with a velocity
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

3.71 m/s in the negative direction

Explanation:

From collisions in momentum, we can establish the formula required here which is;

m1•u1 + m2•v2 = m1•v1 + m2•v2

Now, we are given;

m1 = 1.5 kg

m2 = 14 kg

u1 = 11 m/s

v1 = -1 m/s (negative due to the negative direction it is approaching)

u2 = -5 m/s (negative due to the negative direction it is moving)

Thus;

(1.5 × 11) + (14 × -5) = (1.5 × -1) + (14 × v2)

This gives;

16.5 - 70 = -1.5 + 14v2

Rearranging, we have;

16.5 + 1.5 - 70 = 14v2

-52 = 14v2

v2 = - 52/14

v2 = 3.71 m/s in the negative direction

The human ear canal is about 2.8 cm long. If it is regarded as a tube that is open at one end and closed at the eardrum, what is
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

f = 3.1 kHz

Explanation:

given,

length of human canal =2.8 cm = 0.028 m

speed of sound = 343 m/s

fundamental frequency  = ?

The fundamental frequency of a tube with one open end and one closed end is,

f = \dfrac{v}{4L}

f = \dfrac{343}{4\times 0.028}

f = \dfrac{343}{0.112}

       f = 3062.5 Hz

       f = 3.1 kHz

hence, the fundamental frequency is equal to f = 3.1 kHz

Two electrons with a charge of magnitude 1.6×10-19 C in an atom are separated by 1.5×10-10 m, the typical size of an atom. What
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N, repulsive

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric force between two charged particles is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges of the two particles

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is:

- repulsive if the two charges have  same  sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite signs

In this problem, we have two electrons, so:

q_1=q_2=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the magnitude of the two electrons

r=1.5\cdot 10^{-10} m is their separation

Substituting into the formula, we find the electric force between them:

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})^2}{(1.5\cdot 10^{-10})^2}=1.02\cdot 10^{-8} N

And the force is repulsive, since the two electrons have same sign charge.
