An overnight rainstorm has caused a major roadblock. Three massive rocks of mass m1=584 kg, m2=838 kg, and m3=322 kg have blocke

d a busy road. The rocks are lined up from left to right in the order m1, m2, and m3. The city calls a local contractor to use a bulldozer to clear the road. The bulldozer applies a constant force to m1 in order to slide the rocks off the road. Assuming the road is a flat, frictionless surface and the rocks are all in contact, what force, ????A, must be applied to m1 to slowly accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s2?

Answer:

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

Explanation:

Total force required = Mass x Acceleration,

F = ma

Here we need to consider the system as combine, total mass need to be considered.

Total mass, a = m₁+m₂+m₃ = 584 + 838 + 322 = 1744 kg

We need to accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s²

That is acceleration, a = 0.250 m/s²

Force required, F = ma = 1744 x 0.25 = 436 N

Force must be applied to m₁ to move the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s² = 436 N

A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 30 m/s, and air resistance is negligible. How long does it take the ball to reach t
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

3 seconds

Explanation:

Applying,

Applying,

v = u±gt................ Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: v = 0 m/s ( at the maximum height), u = 30 m/s

Constant: g = -10 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 1

0 = 30-10t

10t = 30

t = 30/10

t = 3 seconds

On a straight, level, two-lane road, two cars moving in opposite directions approach and pass each other. Car A is in the eastbo
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a) 42 m/s, positive direction (to the east), b) 42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

Explanation:

a) Let consider that Car A is moving at positive direction. Then, the relative velocity of Car A as seen by the driver of Car B is:

\vec v_{A/B} = \vec v_{A} - \vec v_{B}\\\vec v_{A/B} = 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i + 31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{A/B} = 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i

42 m/s, positive direction (to the east).

b) The relative velocity of Car B as seen by the drive of Car A is:

\vec v_{B/A} = \vec v_{B} - \vec v_{A}\\\vec v_{B/A} = -31 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i - 11 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i\\\vec v_{B/A} = - 42 \frac{m}{s} \cdot i

42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).

What is the frequency, in units of kiloHertz, of an AC waveform that has a period of 12 microseconds?
Alik [6]

Answer:

83.3 kHz

Explanation:

The frequency of a waveform is equal to the reciprocal of its period:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

In this problem, we have

T=12 \mu s=12\cdot 10^{-6} s

so, the frequency of the waveform is

f=\frac{1}{12 \cdot 10^{-6} s}=8.33\cdot 10^4 Hz

And by converting into kiloHertz,

f=8.33\cdot 10^4 Hz=83.3 kHz

at the center of the neutral metal block, what is the direction of the electric field contributed by the charge in and on the me
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The direction of electric field by the charge in and on the metal block will be along the direction line 5 as given in question.

<h3>How to determine electric field direction in a metal block?</h3>

The charge always remain on outer surface of metal and inside the metal block, the net electric field is zero. But due to dipole there is an electric field at the center of metal block i.e. at point R along direction line 1.

Now, to make make the net electric field zero at center, the electric field by the charge in and on the metal block must be equal in magnitude to that of electric field due to dipole at point R and in opposite direction to that of the net electric field at at R due to dipole.

The electric field by the charge in and on the metal block will be making 180° angle to the  electric field due to dipole at point R.

Hence the direction of electric field by the charge in and on the metal block will be along the direction line 5 as given in question.
