Newton's laws of motion are true on earth and space.
frez [133]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

It is a common misunderstanding that objects in space have no weight. If that were true, they would just float away from the Earth, the Sun and the other planets. Objects in low Earth orbit experience about 90% of the weight that they feel on the surface of the Earth.

An unstable particle at rest breaks up into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the lighter fragment is equal to 2.90 ✕ 1
motikmotik

Answer:

The speed of the heavier fragment is 0.335c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the lighter fragment M_{l}=2.90\times10^{-28}\ kg

Mass of the heavier fragment M_{h}=1.62\times10^{-27}\ Kg

Speed of lighter fragment = 0.893c

We need to calculate the speed of the heavier fragment

Let v is the speed of the second fragment after decay

Using conservation of relativistic momentum

0=\drac{m_{1}v_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}-\drac{m_{2}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}

\drac{m_{1}v_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}=\drac{m_{2}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{c^2}}}

\dfrac{2.90\times10^{-28}\times0.893c}{\sqrt{1-(0.893)^2}}=\dfrac{1.62\times10^{-27}v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}

\dfrac{v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}=\dfrac{2.90\times10^{-28}\times0.893c}{1.62\times10^{-27}\times0.45}

\dfrac{v_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}}=0.355c

\dfrac{v_{2}}{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^{2}}{c^2}}=(0.355c)^2

\dfrac{1-\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{c^2}}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{(0.355c)}

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}-\dfrac{1}{c^2}=\dfrac{1}{(0.355c)^2}

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{c^2}+\dfrac{1}{0.126c^2}

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{1}{c^2}(1+\dfrac{1}{0.126})

\dfrac{1}{v_{2}^2}=\dfrac{8.93}{c^2}

v_{2}^2=\dfrac{c^2}{8.93}

v_{2}=0.335c

Hence, The speed of the heavier fragment is 0.335c.

Sort the forces as producing a torque of positive, negative, or zero magnitude about the rotational axis identified in part
Fantom [35]

a) Angular acceleration: 17.0 rad/s^2

b) Weight: conterclockwise torque, reaction force: zero torque

Explanation:

a)

In this problem, you are holding the pencil at its end: this means that the pencil will rotate about this point.

The only force producing a torque on the pencil is the weight of the pencil, of magnitude

W=mg

where m is the mass of the pencil and g the acceleration of gravity.

However, when the pencil is rotating around its end, only the component of the weight tangential to its circular trajectory will cause an angular acceleration. This component of the weight is:

W_p =mg sin \theta

where \theta is the angle of the rod with respect to the vertical.

The weight act at the center of mass of the pencil, which is located at the middle of the pencil. So the torque produced is

\tau = W_p \frac{L}{2}=mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta

where L is the length of the pencil.

The relationship between torque and angular acceleration \alpha is

\tau = I \alpha (1)

where

I=\frac{1}{3}mL^2

is the moment of inertia of the pencil with respect to its end.

Substituting into (1) and solving for \alpha, we find:

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{mg\frac{L}{2}sin \theta}{\frac{1}{3}mL^2}=\frac{3 g sin \theta}{2L}

And assuming that the length of the pencil is L = 15 cm = 0.15 m, the angular acceleration when \theta=10^{\circ} is

\alpha = \frac{3(9.8)(sin 10^{\circ})}{2(0.15)}=17.0 rad/s^2

b)

There are only two forces acting on the pencil here:

- The weight of the pencil, of magnitude mg

- The normal reaction of the hand on the pencil, R

The torque exerted by each force is given by

\tau = Fd

where F is the magnitude of the force and d the distance between the force and the pivot point.

For the weight, we saw in part a) that the torque is

\tau =mg\frac{L}{2} cos \theta

For the reaction force, the torque is zero: this is because the reaction force is applied exctly at the pivot point, so d = 0, and therefore the torque is zero.

Therefore:

- Weight: counterclockwise torque (I have assumed that the pencil is held at its right end)

- Reaction force: zero torque

A 1500 kg truck is acted upon by a force that decreases its speed from 25 m/s to 15 m/s in 8 s. What is the magnitude of the for
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

F = 1,875 N

Explanation:

force=

\frac{change \: in \: momentum}{time \: taken}

∆H = m∆V

where ∆H ----> change in momentum.

( final momentum - initial momentum )

and ∆V ----> change in velocity

( final velocity - initial velocity )

and m ----> is mass

then f =

\frac{1500 \times (25 - 15)}{8}

= 1,875 N
