In what situations do Newton’s laws of motion NOT apply?

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

In a naive or very general sense, it appears that Newton's combined first and second law, F = ma , does not always work. On a fairground ride such as a merry-go-round, or on a turning bus, unrestrained objects have unexplained horizontal accelerations.

A 68.5kg astronaut floating motionless next to the space station throws a 2.25kg tool away from her at 3.20m/s. With what speed

valkas [14]

Answer:

-0.105 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the astronaut, m(a) = 68.5 kg

Mass of the tool, m(t) = 2.25 kg

Speed of the tool after it is thrown, v(t) = 3.20 m/s

We know that momentum of a particle,

p = mv

See the attachment for calculations

Therefore, the speed is 0.105 m/s and it moves in the opposite direction.

A 42.2 N force acts at 40* to the ground, causing the object to move a horizontal distance of 8.15 m. How much work was done on

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

W=F.dcos angle

w=42.2 x8.15 x cos40

w=343.93× cos 40

W=343.93 x 0.76

W=261.38 J

An incident ray traveling in a slower medium strikes a boundary with a faster medium. What happens when its angle of incidence i

inn [45]

The phenomenon that is observed when an incident ray travelling in a slower medium strikes the boundary of a faster medium with an angle greater than the critical angle is known as total internal reflection.
Total internal reflection results in the the ray being reflected within the medium, instead of leaving it after undergoing diffraction. This phenomenon is the working principle of optical fibers.
