1st Law: Objects that are in motion tend to stay in motion. This motion can change with external forces.

If you were to stop pedaling on bike while in motion, you will notice that you will keep moving. This is because a moving body (you) has inertia. If there wasn't any friction between the tires and the ground, between the axles and wheel, any air resistance, or any other force that acts against you, then you could be coasting indefinitely! 

2nd Law: Force is equal to the mass times acceleration. 

When you pedal, you are applying a force onto the pedal. This force is then translated through tension to apply torque onto the wheel. Turning the wheel will make you accelerate in the lateral direction. 

3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. 

Without this, you could pedal and pedal, but you will be not go anywhere! It is essentially the friction between the tires and the ground that propels you forward. If the ground did not apply to the tire the same amount of force that the tire was applying to the ground, the tire would not "catch" and no friction would be applied. And if there was no third law, the weight of you and your bike would "sink" into the ground because the ground would not be applying a normal force back onto you.

hope this helps and if you have any questions just hmu and ask :)

Bob is pushing a box across the floor at a constant speed of 1.7 m/s, applying a horizontal force whose magnitude is 70 N. Alice

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) 70 N, b) b. Each initially applied a force bigger than static friction to get the box moving and accelerating, then when the desired final speed was achieved they reduced the force to make the net force zero.

Explanation:

a) A constant speed means that magnitude of friction force is equal to the magnitude of the external force. The friction force is directly proportional to the normal force, which is equal to the weight of the box. Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 70 N.

b) Alice used initially a greater force to accelerate the box up to needed speed and later reduced the external force to keep speed constant. The right choice is option b.

inessss [21]

Answer:

Part a)

$m_2 = 4.9 \times 10^7 kg$

Part b)

$q_1 = q_2 = 5312.6 C$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that both charge particles will exert equal and opposite force on each other

so here the force on both the charges will be equal in magnitude

so we will have

$F = m_1a_1 = m_2a_2$

here we have

$6.3 \times 10^7(7) = m_2(9)$

now we have

$m_2 = 4.9 \times 10^7 kg$

Part b)

Now for the force between two charges we can say

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

now we have

$(6.3 \times 10^7)(7) = \frac{(9\times 10^9)q^2}{(24\times 10^3)^2}$

now we have

$q_1 = q_2 = 5312.6 C$

A beam of light in air is incident at an angle of 30º to the surface of a rectangular block of clear plastic (n = 1.46). The lig

Aneli [31]

Answer:

θ = 30°

Explanation:

Firts, the angle when the beam of light passes through the block cam be calculated using Snell Law:

$n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theeta_{2})$

Where:

n₁: is the index of refraction of the incident medium (air) = 1

θ₁: is the incident angle = 30°

n₂: is the medium 2 (plastic) = 1.46

θ₂: is the transmission angle

Hence, θ₂ is:

$sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}*sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{1*sin(30)}{1.46} = 0.34 \rightarrow \theta_{2} = 20.03 ^{\circ}$

Now, when the beam of light re-emerges from the opposite side, we have:

n₁: is the index of refraction of the incident medium (plastic) = 1.46

θ₁: is the incident angle = 20.03°

n₂: is the medium 2 (air) = 1

θ₂: is the transmission angle

Hence, the angle to the normal to that surface (θ₂) is:

$sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}*sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{1.46*sin(20.03)}{1} = 0.50 \rightarrow \theta_{2} = 30 ^{\circ}$

Therefore, we have that the beam of light will come out at the same angle of when it went in, since, it goes from air and enters to a plastic medium and then enters again in this medium to go out to air again. This was proved using the Snell Law.

I hope it helps you!
