3 0

Answer:

magnitude : 0.6 m/s²

Direction : Left

Explanation:

m = mass of the cart = 90 kg

Taking force in right direction as positive and force in left direction as negative

F₁ = Force applied by man 1 = 140 N

F₂ = Force applied by other man = - 195 N

a = acceleration of the cart

Force equation for the motion of the cart is given as

F₁ + F₂ = ma

140 + (- 195) = 90 a

a = - 0.6 m/s²

magnitude of acceleration is 0.6 m/s²

The negative sign indicates the direction of acceleration towards left

A physics student standing on the edge of a cliff throws a stone vertically downward with an initial speed of 10 m/s. The instan
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The velocity just before hitting the ground is v_f = 30 m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The initial speed is  u = 10 m/s

    The final speed is  v = 30 \ m/s

From the equations of motion we have that

      v^2 =u^2 + 2as

Where s is the distance travelled which is the height of the cliff

  So making it the subject of the the formula  we have that

        s = \frac{v^2 - u^2 }{2a}

Where a is the acceleration due to gravity with a value  a = 9.8m/s^2

       So

                  s = \frac{30^2 - 10^2 }{2 * 9.8 }

                  s = 40.8 \ m

Now we are told that was through horizontally with a speed of

      v_x =10 m/s

Which implies that this would be its velocity horizontally through out the motion

    Now it final  velocity vertically can be mathematically evaluated as

            v_y = \sqrt{2as}

Substituting values

             v_y = \sqrt{(2 * 9.8 * 40.8)}

             v_y =  28.3 \ m/s

The resultant final velocity is mathematically evaluated as

       v_f = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

Substituting values

       v_f = \sqrt{10^2 + 28.3^2}

       v_f = 30 m/s

Choose the correct statement below that accurately describes the shear and normal stresses in a beam. A. Shear stresses are maxi
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

A. Shear stresses are maximum at the neutral axis and normal stresses are maximum furthest from the neutral axis.

Explanation:

Normal stress :

Normal stress is defined as the stress or the restoring force that occurs on the plane when an external axial load is applied on it. For a beam the normal stress is maximum at the point furthest from the neutral axis and is zero at the neutral axis of the beam.

Shear stress :

Shear stress is a stress which occurs when the force acts on the surface of the member in a parallel direction. It changes the shape of the member.  For a beam, the shear stress is maximum at the neutral axis.

Nio conducts a science experiment. He puts yeast into a bottle with water and sugar, and then caps the bottle with a balloon. He
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When yeast is added into a bottle with water and sugar then after some time yeast becomes activated. This results in the formation of a chemical change as bubbles are formed on the surface of the mixture in the bottle.

This indicates that a gas has been released due to the chemical change.

Thus, we can conclude that most likely a chemical change has occurred because a gas was produced.

Select three different examples of accelerated motion. a body traveling in a straight line and increasing in speed a body travel
IrinaVladis [17]
This is the same question that I just answered.

Have present the definition of acceleration:

         a = Δv / Δt, this is change in velocity per unit of time.

a and v are in bold to mean that they are vectors.

1) a body traveling in a straight line and increasing in speed: CORRECT:

Acceleration is the change in velocity, either magnitude or direction or both. So, a body increasing in speed is accelerated.

2) a body traveling in a straight line and decreasing in speed: CORRECT

A decrease in speed is a change in velocity, so it means acceleration.

3) a body traveling in a straight line at constant speed: FALSE.

That body is not changing either direction or speed so its motion is not accelerated but uniform.

4) a body standing still : FALSE.

That body is not changind either direction or speed.

5) a body traveling at a constant speed and changing direction: CORRECT.

The change in direction means that the body is accelerated. The acceleration due to change in direction is named centripetal acceleration.
