If only an external force can change the velocity of a body, how can the internal force of the brakes bring a car to rest? 1. It

is the driver, not the car itself who causes the breaking, so it is an external force. 2. The engine is stopped, so the car has no force to run further. 3. Some internal forces can change the velocity of a body. 4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Answer:

4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Explanation:

If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.

You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.

The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.

A pendulum has a length of 2 m and a 30 kg mass hanging on the end. What is the period of the
anastassius [24]

Answer:

T = 2.83701481512 seconds

Explanation:

Hi!

The formula that you will want to use to solve this question is:

T = 2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}  }

T--> period

L --> length of the pendulum

g --> acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

since we know that the mass of the bob at the end of the pendulum does not affect the period of the pendulum, we can go ahead and ignore that bit of information (unless, of course, the weight causes the pendulum to stretch)

so now we can plug in our given info into the formula above and solve!

T = 2*pi * sqrt(2/9.8)

T = 2.83701481512 seconds

*Note*

- I used 3.14 to pi, if you need to use a different value for pi (a longer version, etc) your answer will be slightly different

I hope this helped!

A group of students is measuring the change in momentum of an object. Which set of lab equipment would be most in measuring the
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The momentum of an object is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, as P = m*v.

So the equipment needed would be:

Something to measure the mass of the object, like a balance.

Something to measure the speed of the object, like a doppler radar, or a simpler thing may be a cronometer, with that you can measure the amount of time that the object needs to travel a given distance, and with that you can obtain the speed of the object.

Now you can notice that speed is different than velocity, this is true, velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, then you need something to fix the direction in which the object moves, in this way you can determine the velocity.
