Wedges are a type of inclined plane. As a wedge is forced into a space in an object, it exerts force to widen the space. .. so wedges is like a nail.

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
aksik [14]
Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones

A 70 ft rope hangs from a helicopter above this room. The rope has a mass per unit length of 2 lb/ft. In order to be rescued fro
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 70 ft

mass per unit length of the rope, μ = 2 lb/ft

your mass, W = 120 lbs

mass of the 70 ft rope  = 2 lb/ft x 70 ft

                                         = 140 lbs.

Total mass to be pulled to the helicopter, M = 120 lbs  + 140 lbs  

                                                                       = 260 lbs

The work done is calculated from work-energy theorem as follows;

W = Mgh

where;

g is acceleration due gravity = 32.17 ft/s²

h is height the total mass is raised = length of the rope = 70 ft

W = 260 Lb x 32.17 ft/s²  x 70 ft

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²

1 lb.ft²/s² = 0.0421 J

W = 585494 lb.ft²/s²  = 2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Therefore, the work done to get you safely away from the test is  2.47 X 10⁴ J.

Two carts, A and B, are connected by a spring and sitting at rest on a track. Cart A has a mass of 0.4 kg and Cart B has a mass
Ilya [14]

Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil.

The given parameters;

  • <em>Mass of the cart A = 0.4 kg</em>
  • <em>Mass of the cart B = 0.8 kg</em>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the velocity of the carts after collision;

m_Av_0_A\ + m_Bv_0_B = m_Av_f_A \ + m_Bv_f_B\\\\the \ initial \ velocity \ of \ both \ carts = 0\\\\0.4(0) + 0.8(0) = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0 = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0.4v_f_A = -0.8v_f_B\\\\v_f_A= \frac{-0.8 v_f_B}{0.4} \\\\v_f_A = - 2 \ v_f_B \ \ m/s

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. The force exerted on cart A is equal to the force exerted on cart B but in opposite direction.

F_A = -F_B

Thus, the correct statement that compares the motion and forces acting on the two carts is "Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil."
