Answer:

Acceleration = a = 3.75 m/s^2

Explanation:

Mass of truck1 = m1 = 2300 kg

Mass of truck2 = m2 = 2500 kg

Total mass = m = m1 + m2 = 2300 + 2500 = 4800 kg

Force exerted by truck1 = F = 18000 N

As both trucks are joint together so, behaving as single object. The acceleration can be found by Newton’s second law of motion.

F = ma

a = F/m = 18000/4800

a = 3.75 m/s^2

F=ma
m=total mass = 2300kg+2500kg=4800
F=18000N
a=?
a=F/m
a=18000/4800
a=3.8m/s^2

What is the momentum of a man of mass 10kg when he walks with a uniform velocity of 2m/s.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s$

Explanation:

Given

Mass = 10kg

Velocity = 2m/s

Required

Calculate the momentum of the man

Momentum is calculated as thus

$Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)$

or

$p = mv$

So; to solve this question; we simply substitute 10kg for mass and 2m/s for velocity in the above formula;

The formula becomes

$Momentum(p) = 10kg * 2m/s$

$Momentum(p) = 10 * 2 * kg * m/s$

$Momentum(p) = 20kgm/s$

Hence, the momentum of the man is $20kgm/s$

Brayden and Riku now use their skills to work a problem. Find the equivalent resistance, the current supplied by the battery and

Liono4ka [1.6K]

a) $5 \Omega$ , 1.6 A

b) $6 \Omega$ , 1.33 A

Explanation:

a)

In this situation, we have two resistors connected in series.

The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances, so in this circuit:

$R=R_1+R_2$

where

$R_1=4\Omega$

$R_2=1 \Omega$

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is

$R=4+1=5 \Omega$

Now we can use Ohm's Law to find the current flowing through the circuit:

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

$R=5\Omega$ is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

Substituting,

$I=\frac{8}{5}=1.6 A$

The two resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.6 A.

b)

In this part, a third resistor is added in series to the circuit; so the new equivalent resistance of the circuit is

$R=R_1+R_2+R_3$

where:

$R_1=4\Omega\\R_2=1\Omega\\R_3=1\Omega$

Substituting, we find the equivalent resistance:

$R=4+1+1=6 \Omega$

Now we can find the current through the circuit by using again Ohm's Law:

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

where

V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery

$R=6\Omega$ is the equivalent resistance

Substituting,

$I=\frac{8}{6}=1.33 A$

And the three resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.33 A.
