3 0
The force is zero force

Inertia keeps objects traveling in a straight line until some net non zero force causes it to change course and/or speed

A force of 50n is applied to an object at an angle of 50 degrees measured relative to the horizontal. Determine the horizontal a
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Fx = 32.14 [N]

Fy  = 38.3 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must decompose the force vector, for this we will use the angle of 50 degrees measured from the horizontal component.

F = 50 [N]

Fx = 50*cos(50) = 32.14 [N]

Fy = 50*sin(50) = 38.3 [N]

We can verify this result using the Pythagorean theorem.

F = \sqrt{(32.14)^{2}+ (38.3)^{2}} \\F = 50 [N]

When a bouncy ball is dropped from a second floor window, at what point is the kinetic energy highest?
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

Because the total energy available to the ball doesn't change whatsoever during its entire trip from the window to the ground,

TE = KE + PE which says that the total energy available to a system is equal to the kinetic energy of the system plus the potential energy, and that this value will not ever change (because energy cannot be created or destroyed. Sound familiar?) If the ball is being held still before it is dropped from some height off the ground, it is here that the total energy can be determined, and that total energy at this point is all potential, since the ball is not moving while someone is holding it and getting ready to drop it. The SECOND it starts to fall, the potential energy begins to be converted to kinetic. As the potential energy is losing value, the kinetic is gaining it at the same rate (again, energy doesn't just disappear; it has to go somewhere. Here, it goes from potential to kinetic a little at a time). When the ball finally hits the ground, or an INSTANT BEFORE it hits the ground, the potential energy is 0 because the height of something on the ground has a height of 0. At this instant, right before the ball hits the ground, is where the KE is the greatest. All the energy at that point has been converted from potential to kinetic.

Long story short, choice B is the one you want.

A car accelerates uniformly from 0 km/hr to 60 km/hr in 4.5 seconds. Which one of the following choices best represents the acce
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is 3.7\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 0

Final speed of the car, v = 60 km/h = 16.66 m/s

Time, t = 4.5 s

We need to find the acceleration of the car. It is equal to the change in velocity divided by time taken. It can be given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{16.66-0}{4.5}\\\\a=3.7\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the car is 3.7\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
