Answer:
(d) a net external force must be acting on the system
Explanation:
Momentum is given as the product of mass and velocity.
P = MV
According to Newton's second law of motion, " Force applied to a body (system) is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the body (system) which takes place in the direction of the applied force (external force).
F ∝ΔMV
Therefore, If the total momentum of a system is changing, a net external force must be acting on the system.
(d) a net external force must be acting on the system
When a police officer is trying to decide if a driver is speeding, what is his point of reference. The speed limit
We don't know that at all. The 3rd law says that the REaction is opposite and EQUAL to the action. We don't know where that "twice as much" comes from.
The first thing you should do for this case is to find the horizontal and vertical components of the forces acting on the body.
We have then:
Horizontal = 9-9.2cos (58) = 4.124742769 N.
Vertical = 9.2sin (58) = 7.802042485 N
Then, the resulting net force is:
F = √ ((4.124742769) ^ 2 + (7.802042485) ^ 2) = 8.825268826 N
Then by definition:
F = m * a
Clearing the acceleration:
a = F / m
a = (8.825268826) / (3.0) = 2.941756275 m / s ^ 2
answer:
The magnitude of the body's acceleration is
2.941756275 m / s ^ 2
