A car is towing a boat on a trailer. The driver starts from rest and accelerates to a velocity of +16.7 m/s in a time of 20.7 s.

The combined mass of the boat and trailer is 594 kg. The frictional force acting on the trailer can be ignored. What is the tension in the hitch that connects the trailer to the car?

Answer:

F = 479.21 N

Explanation:

given,

initial velocity = 0 m/s  

final velocity = 16.7 m/s        

time taken = 20.7 s          

combined mass of the boat and trailer  = 594 kg

tension in the hitch = ?          

using equation of motion          

v = u + a t

16.7 = 0 + a × 20.7

a = 0.807 m/s²              

Force = mass × acceleration        

F = 594 × 0.807                

F = 479.21 N

Hence, the tension in the hitch that connects the  trailer to the car is        F = 479.21 N

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, how many counts per second would be obser
Alona [7]

Answer:

<h2><em>6000 counts per second</em></h2>

Explanation:

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, then;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter ... 1

In order to know the number of counts per second that would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample, we will have;

x count per second = 3 meter ... 2

Solving the two expressions simultaneously for x we will have;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter

x counts per second = 3 meter

Cross multiply to get x

2000 * 3 = 1* x

6000 = x

<em></em>

<em>This shows that 6000 counts per second would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample</em>

Explain how soilds non metals are different from solid metals
marysya [2.9K]
Solid metal is all different types of metals or some thing that a magnet can pick up that's a full hard solid

but a non metal is everything not metal that's a solid like plastic a hot glue gun can burn throught plastic and not metal

so in conclusion metal is stronger and thicker than non modal things

If two bicycles of same masses move at different velocities,it will be easier to stop the bicycle that is moving at lower veloci
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

It is easier to stop the bicycle moving at a lower velocity because it will require a <em>smaller force</em> to stop it when compared to a bicycle with a higher velocity that needs a<em> bigger force.</em>

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Newton's Law of Motion." According to the <em>Third Law of Motion</em>, whenever an object exerts a force on another object <em>(action force)</em>, an equal force is exerted against it. This force is of the same magnitude but opposite direction.

When it comes to moving bicycles, the force that stops their movement is called "friction." Applying the law of motion, the higher the speed, the higher the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it while the lower the speed, the lower the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it.

Animal testing is unreliable because the results may not be precise to what it might do to humans because our bodies do not work the same.

it is cruel to the animals that are being forced to be test subject because they are forced to put their life in the line and they don’t have any say in it because they don’t speak English. (More than 100 million animals die a year while testing products)

This is affecting the earth because the animals are given severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, seizures, and many more awful side effects. The chemicals given to animals include pesticides, dyes, cosmetics and many other harmful things
