Answer: 0.5N

Explanation:

Gravitational force is calculated using the formula :

F = Gm1m2/r^2

Where G is the gravitational constant (6.67 × 10^-11)

At a distance 'r' of 2metres apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F1' = 2N

Inputting values into the formula :

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 - - - - - (1)

At a distance 'r' of 4meters apart:

Mass of objects are m1 and m2

Gravitational force 'F2' = y

Inputting values

F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2 - - - - - (2)

Dividing equations 1 and 2

2 = Gm1m2 / 2^2 ÷ F2 = Gm1m2 / 4^2

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) / (Gm1m2 / 16)

2 / F2 = (Gm1m2 / 4) × (16 / Gm1m2)

2/F2 = 16 / 4

Cross multiply

2 × 4 = 16 × F2

8 = 16F2

F2 = 8/16

F2 = 0.5N

A railroad freight car, mass 15,000 kg, is allowed to coast along a level track at a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides and couples w
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car 1, m₁ = 15,000 kg

Mass of car 2, m₂ = 50,000 kg

Speed of car 1, u₁ = 2 m/s

Initial speed of car 2, u₂ = 0

Let V is the speed of the two cars after coupling. It is the case of inelastic collision. Applying the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{15000\ kg\times 2\ m/s+0}{(15000\ kg+50000\ kg)}  

V = 0.46 m/s

So, the speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

The fire alarm goes off, and a 75 kg firefighter slides down a pole with a constant acceleration of a = 6 m/s square. What is th
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

450N

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m= 75kg

Acceleration= 6m/s^2

From the Newtons first law, F=ma

substitute

F=75*6

F= 450N

Hence the force is 450N

Suppose an empty grocery cart rolls downhill in a parking lot. The cart has a maximum speed of 1.3 m/s when it hits the side of
Ket [755]

The cart comes to rest from 1.3 m/s in a matter of 0.30 s, so it undergoes an acceleration <em>a</em> of

<em>a</em> = (0 - 1.3 m/s) / (0.30 s)

<em>a</em> ≈ -4.33 m/s²

This acceleration is applied by a force of -65 N, i.e. a force of 65 N that opposes the cart's motion downhill. So the cart has a mass <em>m</em> such that

-65 N = <em>m</em> (-4.33 m/s²)

<em>m</em> = 15 kg

To determine the y-component of a projectile’s velocity, what operation is performed on the angle of the launch?
koban [17]

<em>To determine the y component of velocity of a projectile </em><u><em>sine </em></u><em>operation is performed on the angle of launch.</em>

<u>Answer:</u> <em>sine</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Thus a_x=0,a_y=g

The initial velocity u can be resolved along two directions.

Along the X direction initial velocity = u cos θ

Along y direction initial velocity= u sin θ

From the equation of motion v= u+at

Thus velocity along x direction v_x=u cos θ

Velocity along y direction v_y= u sinθ -gt

Sign of g is negative.
