Answer:

B. Field

Explanation:

Gravity and Magnetism are defined as non-contact forces, so that eliminates option A.

Tension is found in a rope or a spring, and is a force in itself, so that eliminates option B.

A normal force is one that is perpendicular to the direction of a slope, so that eliminates option D.

Imagine you have a collection of identical flat-bottomed coffee filters that can be nested (stacked inside of each other) so tha

skad [1K]

Answer:

the terminal velocity of 14 nested coffee filters is 3.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

The terminal velocity is proportional to the square root of weight.

v ∝ √W

v = k√W

the proportionality constant depends upon the surface area and the density of the medium (like air). The coffee filters can be stacked such that the resulting area is roughly unchanged. So, the constant of proportionality k is also unchanged

v/√W = constant

v₂/√W₂ = v₁/√W₁

v₂ = v₁√(W₂ / W₁ )

given that;

v₁ = 0.856 m/s,

W₂ = 14W₁; meaning 14 coffee filters have 14 times the weight of a single coffee filter

so we substitute

v₂ = 0.856 √(14W₁ / W₁ )

v₂ = 0.856 √( 14( W₁/W₁)

v₂ = 0.856 √( 14(1)

v₂ = 0.856 √( 14 )

v₂ = 0.856 × 3.741657

v₂ = 3.2 m/s

Therefore, the terminal velocity of 14 nested coffee filters is 3.2 m/s

Which equation describes the sum of the vectors plotted below?

bearhunter [10]

Equation C describes the sum of the vectors plotted below.

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

A vector is a quantity or phenomena with magnitude and direction that are independent of one another. The phrase also refers to a quantity's mathematical or geometrical representation.

If no vector can be written as a linear combination of the others, a set of vectors is said to be linearly independent.

The given points from the graph is obtained as;

a = (2,1)

b = (3,-2)

Vector, OA = 2x + y

Vector, AB = x - 3 y

From the triangular lawe of the vector addition;

$\rm r= \vec{OA} +\vec{OB}\\\\\ r= 2x+y+x-3y \\\\ r= 3x-2y$

Hence,option C is correct.

A 1kg cart slams into a stationary 1kg cart at 2 m/s. The carts stick together and move forward at a speed of 1 m/sl. Determine

finlep [7]

Answer:

No, it is not conserved

Explanation:

Let's calculate the total kinetic energy before the collision and compare it with the total kinetic energy after the collision.

The total kinetic energy before the collision is:

$K_i = K_1 + K_2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2=\frac{1}{2}(1 kg)(2 m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}(1 kg)(0)^2=2 J$

where m1 = m2 = 1 kg are the masses of the two carts, v1=2 m/s is the speed of the first cart, and where v2=0 is the speed of the second cart, which is zero because it is stationary.

After the collision, the two carts stick together with same speed v=1 m/s; their total kinetic energy is

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2=\frac{1}{2}(1 kg+1kg)(1 m/s)^2=1 J$

So, we see that the kinetic energy was not conserved, because the initial kinetic energy was 2 J while the final kinetic energy is 1 J. This means that this is an inelastic collision, in which only the total momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy does not violate the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the energy lost has simply been converted into another form of energy, such as heat, during the collision.
