Answer:F_{net}=3.383\times 10^{-7}\ N

Explanation:

Given

Mass of first object m_1=225\ kg

Mass of second object m_2=525\ kg

Distance between them d=3.8\ m

m_3=61\ kg object is placed between them

So force exerted by m_1 on m_3

F_{13}=\frac{Gm_1m_3}{1.9^2}

F_{13}=\frac{6.674\times 10^{-11}(225\times 61)}{1.9^2}

F_{13}=2.5374141274×10^{−7}\ N

Force exerted by m_2\ on\ m_3

F_{23}=\frac{Gm_2m_3}{1.9^2}

F_{23}=\frac{6.674\times 10^{-11}(525\times 61)}{1.9^2}

F_{23}=5.920632964\times 10^{-7}\ N

So net force on m_3 is

F_{net}=F_{23}-F_{13}

F_{net}=5.920632964\times 10^{-7}-2.5374141274\times 10^{-7}

F_{net}=3.383\times 10^{-7}\ N

i.e. net force is towards m_2

(b)For net force to be zero on m_3, suppose

So force exerted by m_1 and m_2 must be equal

F_{13}=F_{23}

\Rightarrow \frac{Gm_1m_3}{x^2}=\frac{Gm_2m_3}{(3.8-x)^2}

\Rightarrow \frac{m_1}{x^2}=\frac{m_2}{(3.8-x)^2}

\Rightarrow (\frac{3.8-x}{x})^2=\frac{m_2}{m_1}

\Rightarrow \frac{3.8-x}{x}=\sqrt{\frac{525}{225}}

\Rightarrow 3.8-x=1.52752x

\Rightarrow 3.8=2.52x

\Rightarrow x=1.507\ m

In a crash test, a truck with mass 2100 kg traveling at 22 m/s smashes head-on into a concrete wall without rebounding. The fron
slega [8]

Answer:

a)   v_average = 11 m / s, b)  t = 0.0627 s

, c)    F = 7.37 10⁵ N

, d)   F / W = 35.8

Explanation:

a) truck speed can be found with kinematics

         v² = v₀² - 2 a x

The fine speed zeroes them

           a = v₀² / 2x

           a = 22²/2 0.69

           a = 350.72 m / s²

The average speed is

           v_average = (v + v₀) / 2

           v_average = (22 + 0) / 2

           v_average = 11 m / s

b) The average time

          v = v₀ - a t

          t = v₀ / a

          t = 22 / 350.72

          t = 0.0627 s

c) The force can be found with Newton's second law

             F = m a

             F = 2100 350.72

             F = 7.37 10⁵ N

.d) the ratio of this force to weight

             F / W = 7.37 10⁵ / (2100 9.8)

             F / W = 35.8

.e) Several approaches will be made:

- the resistance of air and tires is neglected

- It is despised that the force is not constant in time

- Depreciation of materials deformation during the crash

Consider a household that uses 14,000 kWh of electricity and 900 gal of fuel oil, per year, during a heating season. The average
ryzh [129]

Answer:

9517.2 lbm

Explanation:

Electricity consumption = 14000 kWh/year

Fuel consumption = 900 gal/year

Amount of CO₂ produced per gallon = 26.4 lbm/gal

Amount of CO₂ produced per kWh = 1.54 lbm/kWh

Amount of CO₂ produced in one year

14000\times 1.54+900\times 26.4=45320\ lbm

Reduction would be

0.21\times 45320=9517.2\ lbm

The reduction in the amount of CO₂ produced is 9517.2 lbm

Explain the value or importance of using the international system of units when describing motion
adoni [48]
<span>It is important to use the Système Internationale (SI) units to describe motion, and other scientific concepts, firstly because the units are the most widely used. Unit choice is largely arbitrary, however, because many scientific units are derived from the base SI units, for example, the Newton is kg m s-2. Thus, secondly, more complex units are based on the bedrock of the SI units.</span>

Two sets of Christmas lights are available. For set A, when one bulb is removed, the remaining bulbs remain illuminated. For set
Paul [167]

Explanation:

Bulbs are nothing but resistors that glow when current passes through them.

In Set A, the bulbs (resistors) are connected  parallely to each other, this means that even if one of the bulbs fuses or removed, the circuit will still be completed and others continue to glow.

And in parallel connection if the resistance of the two resistors are same  powered delivered to each is same.

In Set B, bulbs are in series connection, this means that when one of the bulb is removed or fuses, the circuit will break and other bulbs can not operate.In this situation as well  if the resistance of two resistors is same then the power delivered is same.
