(a) what is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated? (select all that apply.)

1 answer:

6 0

since child is moving along with the wagon and we need to find the acceleration of child inside that wagon then in this case the system of interest must be child + wagon

System of interest will be the system that is used to find the force or acceleration using Newton's law

Here we have to assume that system on which if we will calculate the forces then the net value of force on that system will help to calculate the unknown quantities

So here our system will be boy + wagon

How were the fossil symbols and mountain bets helpful in deciding where to move the continenets

Alborosie

Similar fossils found on different continents helped geologists determine how the continents used to be connected. Mountain belts marked the boundaries of moving plates, which showed in which direction the different continents drifted. Extrapolating from this information, scientists had a rough idea of how the continents were arranged eons ago.

A bin is given a push across a horizontal surface. The bin has a mass m, the push gives it an initial speed of 1.60 m/s, and the

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The bin moves 0.87 m before it stops.

Explanation:

If we analyze the situation and apply the law of conservation of energy to this case, we get:

Energy Dissipated through Friction = Change in Kinetic Energy of Bin (Loss)

F d = (0.5)(m)(Vi² - Vf²)

where,

F = Frictional Force = μR

but, R = Normal Reaction = Weight of Bin = mg

Therefore, F = μmg

Hence, the equation becomes:

μmg d = (0.5)(m)(Vi² - Vf²)

μg d = (0.5)(Vi² - Vf²)

d = (0.5)(Vi² - Vf²)/μg

where,

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (Since, bin finally stops)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 1.6 m/s

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.15

g = 9.8 m/s²

d = distance moved by bin before coming to stop = ?

Therefore,

d = (0.5)[(1.6 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²]/(0.15)(9.8 m/s²)

d = 0.87 m

An object is moving to the right in a straight line. The net force acting on the object is also directed to the right, but the m

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

A) continue to move to the right, with its speed increasing with time.

Explanation:

As long as force is positive , even when it is decreasing , it will create positive increase in velocity . Hence the body will keep moving with increasing velocity towards the right . The moment the force becomes zero on continuously decreasing , the increase in velocity stops and the body will be moving with the last velocity uniformly towards right . When the force acting on it becomes negative , even then the body will keep on going to the right till negative force makes its velocity zero . D uring this period , the body will keep moving towards right with decreasing velocity .

Hence in the present case A , is the right choice.

Energy Transformation

Serjik [45]

Answer:

K =400000 J

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

Is the energy an object has due to its state of motion. It's proportional to the square of the speed.

The equation for the kinetic energy is:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where:

m = mass of the object

v = speed at which the object moves

The kinetic energy is expressed in Joules (J)

The car has a mass of m=2000 Kg and travels at v=20 m/s. Calculating the kinetic energy:

$\displaystyle K=\frac{1}{2}2000*20^2$

Calculating:

K =400000 J
