NO.

Lightning is dangerous

Also a car has many parts that are electrical and they can explode and cause other damage.

The car will explode (very likely) if the person is not injured immediately

Two forces act on an object. The first force has a magnitude of 17.0 N and is oriented 48.0° counterclockwise from the x ‑axis,
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Fn: magnitude of the net force.

Fn=30.11N , oriented 75.3 ° clockwise from the -x axis

Explanation:

Components on the x-y axes of the 17 N force(F₁)

F₁x=17*cos48°= 11.38N

F₁y=17*sin48° = 12.63 N

Components on the x-y axes of the  the second force(F₂)

F₂x= −19.0 N

F₂y=   16.5 N

Components on the x-y axes of the net force (Fn)

Fnx= F₁x +F₂x= 11.38N−19.0 N= -7.62 N

Fny= F₁y +F₂y= 12.63 N +16.5 N = 29.13 N

Magnitude of the net force.

F_{n} =\sqrt{(F_{nx})^{2} +(F_{ny}) ^{2} }

F_{n} =\sqrt{(-7.62)^{2} +(29.13) ^{2} }

F_{n} = 30.11N

Direction of the net force (β)

\beta =tan^{-1} (\frac{29.13}{7.62} )

β=75.3°

Magnitude and direction of the net force

Fn= 30.11N , oriented 75.3 ° clockwise from the -x axis

In the attached graph we can observe the magnitude and direction of the net force

How much work is done in holding a 10 newton sack of potatoes while waiting in line at the grocery store for 3 minutes.​
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

W = F × s

F = 10 N,

t = 3min = 180sec

s = 0( no change in postion)

W = 10 ×0

W = 0

A tennis player swings her 1000 g racket with a speed of 10 m/s. She hits a 60 g tennis ball that was approaching her at a speed
Mashutka [201]

(a)

consider the motion of the tennis ball. lets assume the velocity of the tennis ball going towards the racket as positive and velocity of tennis ball going away from the racket as negative.

m = mass of the tennis ball = 60 g = 0.060 kg

v₀ = initial velocity of the tennis ball before being hit by racket = 20 m/s

v = final velocity of the tennis ball after being hit by racket = - 39 m/s

ΔP = change in momentum of the ball

change in momentum of the ball is given as

ΔP = m (v - v₀)

inserting the above values

ΔP = (0.060) (- 39 - 20)

ΔP = - 3.54 kgm/s

hence , magnitude of change in momentum : 3.54 kgm/s

Write a brief essay describing how Newton’s Laws explain how a rocket in space can move objects
statuscvo [17]
The First Law describes how an object acts when no force is acting upon it. So, rockets stay still until a force is applied to move them. Likewise, once they're in motion, they won't stop until a force is applied. Newton's Second Law tells us that the more mass an object has, the more force is needed to move it. A larger rocket will need stronger forces (eg. more fuel) to make it accelerate. The space shuttles required seven pounds of fuel for every pound of payload they carry. Newton's Third Law states that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction". In a rocket, burning fuel creates a push on the front of the rocket pushing it forward.
