Alex is asked to move two boxes of books in contact with each other and resting on a frictionless floor. He decides to move them

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

2.8 N

Explanation:

Fp = 7.7 N

mA = 12.1 kg

mB = 7 kg

Let a be the acceleration and Fc be the contact force between A and B.

By the free body diagram, use Newton's second law

Fp - Fc = mA x a ..... (1)

Fc = mB x a ..... (2)

Adding both the equations

Fp = (mA + mB) x a

7.7 = (12.1 + 7) x a

a = 0.4 m/s^2

Substitute this value in equation (2), we get

Fc = 7 x 0.4 = 2.8 N

Thus, the contact force between the two blocks is 2.8 N.

Flash floods can cause vehicles to float and fill with water, trapping and drowning people. while especially dangerous at night

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Flash flood refers to the sudden flood that occurs in a particular area due to the heavy and excessive amount of rainfall, often accompanied by thunderstorms within a few hours. It releases a huge amount of water due to the failure of natural levee as well dam. They are very devastating. During flash flood, the water exerts a massive force which can make vehicles float over water. The six inches of water that flows over an area has the capacity to lift the tyres of small vehicles and carry hem further away.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

The drawing shows three particles far away from any other objects and located on a straight line. The masses of these particles

miss Akunina [59]

Formula of the gravitational force between two particles:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} Nm^2 kg^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1 and m2 are the masses of the two particles

r is their distance

(a) particle A

The gravitational force exerted by particle B on particle A is

$F_B=G\frac{m_A m_B}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(567 kg)}{(0.500 m)^2}=5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N$ to the right

The gravitational force exerted by particle C on particle A is

$F_C=G\frac{m_A m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.500 m+0.250m)^2}=5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N$ to the right

So the net gravitational force on particle A is

$F_A = F_B + F_C =5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N+5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N=5.7 \cdot 10^{-5} N$ to the right

(b) Particle B

The gravitational force exerted by particle A on particle B is

$F_A=G\frac{m_A m_B}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(567 kg)}{(0.500 m)^2}=-5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N$ to the left

The gravitational force exerted by particle C on particle B is

$F_C=G\frac{m_B m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(567 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.250 m)^2}=8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N$ to the right

So the net gravitational force on particle B is

$F_B = F_A + F_C =-5.14 \cdot 10^{-5} N+8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N=3.27 \cdot 10^{-5} N$ to the right

The gravitational force exerted by particle A on particle C is

$F_A=G\frac{m_A m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(340 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.500 m+0.250m)^2}=-5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N$ to the left

The gravitational force exerted by particle B on particle C is

$F_B=G\frac{m_B m_C}{r^2}=(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}) \frac{(567 kg)(139 kg)}{(0.250 m)^2}=-8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N$ to the left

So the net gravitational force on particle C is

$F_C = F_B + F_A =-8.41 \cdot 10^{-5} N-5.6 \cdot 10^{-6} N=-8.97 \cdot 10^{-5} N$ to the left

How is the wavelength of a longitudinal wave determined?

Tju [1.3M]

Before answering the question, first we have to understand a longitudinal wave.

A longitudinal wave is a type of mechanical wave in which the direction of wave propagation is parallel to the particle vibration of the medium.

In this type of wave, there will be compressions and rarefactions. Compressions are the high pressure regions where the particles of the medium are very close to each other. The rarefactions are the low pressure regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles are not so close to each other.

Hence, a longitudinal wave is a series of compressions and rarefactions.

The wavelength of a longitudinal wave is defined as the distance between two successive compressions or rarefactions.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is C) by measuring the distance between adjacent rarefactions.
