A constant force is exerted for a short time interval on a cart that is initially at rest on an air track. This force gives the

cart a certain final speed. Suppose we repeat the experiment but, instead of starting from rest, the cart is already moving with constant speed in the direction of the force at the moment we begin to apply the force.
After we exert the same constant force for the same short time interval, the increase in the cart's speed:

A. is equal to two times its initial speed.
B. is equal to the square of its initial speed.
C. is equal to four times its initial speed.
D. is the same as when it started from rest.
E. cannot be determined from the information provided.

Answer:

d) is the same as when it started from rest

Explanation:

using equation of motion

v = u + at

second law of momentum defines

F = ma

a = F /m

the equation becomes

v = u + (F/m)t

from hear

since v is directly proportional to the force and the force remain the same, the increase in the cart speed will also remain the same.

A 10n force is applied to a 25kg mass to slide it across a frictional surface. What is the acceleration of the mass?
klasskru [66]

Answer: a = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c where c is the coefficient of kinetic friction of the surface

Explanation: We know that, by the second Newton's law, a = F/m

where a is the acceleration, F is the net force and m is the mass of the object.

Then, if the surface is frictionless, the total force applied in the object is 10N, and the mass of the object is 25kg, so the acceleration is:

a =10N/25kg = 0.4m/s^2.

But if the surface is frictional, there will be a force of friction applied in the mass (this depends on the coefficient of friction and the weight of the mass), this means that the acceleration will be reduced.

If = -(9.8*25)*c

where c is a number that is bigger than 0 and smaller than 1, is called the coefficient of kinetic friction.

So the total force is now:

F = (10 - 9.8*25*c)

Then, the acceleration in a frictional surface is equal to:

a = (10 - 9.8*25*c)/25 = 0.4m/s^2 - 9.8*c

Un trineo de 20 kg descansa en la cima de una pendiente de 80 m de longitud y 30° de inclinación. Si µ = 0.2, ¿cuál es la veloci
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

v= 26.70 m/seg

Explanation:  Ver anexo ( diagrama de cuerpo libre)

De acuerdo a la segunda ley de Newton

∑ F  =  m*a

∑ Fx  =  m* a(x)             ∑ Fy  =  m* a(y)

También sabemos que el coeficiente de roce dinámico es:

  μ  = 0.2 = F(r)/N            siendo N la fuerza normal.

Si descomponemos la fuerza P = mg  =  20Kg* 9.8m/seg²

P =  196 [N]    en sus componentes sobre los ejes x y y tenemos

Py  =  P* cos30  =  196* √3/2  =  98*√3

Px  = P* sen30   =  196*1/2  =  98

La sumatoria sobre el eje y es :

∑ F(y)  =  m*a         Py  - N  = 0          98*√3  = N       ( no hay movimiento en la dirección y)

∑ F(x)  = m*a    P(x)  -  Fr  =  m*a

Fr  =   μ *N  =  0.2* 98*√3

Fr  =  19.6*√3  [N]

98 -  19.6*√3  =  m*a

98  -  33.52  = m*a

a =  (98  -  33.52 ) / 20

a = 3.22 m/seg²

Para calcular la velocidad del trineo al pié del plano, sabemos que al pié del plano el trineo ha recorrido 80 m, y que de cinemática

v²  =  v₀²  +  2*a*d             ( se pueden chequear unidades para ver la consistencia de la ecuación  v  y  v₀    vienen dados en m/seg  entonces  v²  y  v₀²  vienen en m²/seg²,  el producto de a (m/seg²) por la distancia d (m) resulta en m²/seg²  entonces es consistente la relación

v²   =  0   +  2*3.22*80       ( la velocidad inicial es cero)

v²  = 515.2  m²/seg²

v  =  √515.2  m/seg

v= 26.70 m/seg

If three devices are plugged into one port on a switch and two devices are plugged into a different port, how many collision dom
Neporo4naja [7]
Collision domain is a portion in the network where there is a possibility of formation of packets. This occurs when two or more devices are able to send a packet to a single switch or port on the network that is shared, on the same time. It was noted that this collision domain reduces the efficiency of the network. 

For this item, the first packet is the whole switch with the three devices. Next one would be first of the three devices that is connected to the other port. Similarly, the third one would be the second of the three devices that is also connected to the switch. Therefore, the answer is 3.

The acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring, was written by this woman in 1962.
olga_2 [115]
Rachel Carson was the author of the acclaimed environmental book, Silent Spring. The book was published in 1962.
It documented the negative effect that synthetic pesticides have on the environment, specifically on birds.
This book laid bare to the American public what chemical companies indirectly contributed to the environment. 
The public furor this book caused led to the reversal of the national pesticide policy, a nationwide ban on DDT for agricultural uses, and inspired the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
