Pushing a broke down car, even done by more than one person, is difficult especially if the distance to be covered is quite far. A car is heavy and it requires a lot of force to start the car moving. This is because the inertia of the car to remain at rest is great. Additionally, the force applied in pushing the car must be greater than the frictional force to cause it to accelerate. The frictional force is dependent on the mass of the object which means that the frictional force acting on the car is also great. Finally, with every push of the car, the frictional force will always be present and acting on the opposite direction. The push that will be supplied must be sustained all throughout.

The friends have to combine their forces to be greater than the force of the car pushing back on them (3rd law). The car will remain at rest until an outside force acts on it that it is greater than its own (1st). The speed in which the car is being moved is directly related to the amount of force and direction of the kids pushing the car (2nd).

A group of students prepare for a robotic competition and build a robot that can launch large spheres of mass M in the horizonta
jeyben [28]

Answer:

V_0

Explanation:

Given that, the range covered by the sphere, M, when released by the robot from the height, H, with the horizontal speed V_0 is D as shown in the figure.

The initial velocity in the vertical direction is 0.

Let g be the acceleration due to gravity, which always acts vertically downwards, so, it will not change the horizontal direction of the speed, i.e. V_0 will remain constant throughout the projectile motion.

So, if the time of flight is t, then

D=V_0t\; \cdots (i)

Now, from the equation of motion

s=ut+\frac 1 2 at^2\;\cdots (ii)

Where s is the displacement is the direction of force, u is the initial velocity, a is the constant acceleration and t is time.

Here, s= -H, u=0, and a=-g (negative sign is for taking the sigh convention positive in +y direction as shown in the figure.)

So, from equation (ii),

-H=0\times t +\frac 1 2 (-g)t^2

\Rightarrow H=\frac 1 2 gt^2

\Rightarrow t=\sqrt {\frac {2H}{g}}\;\cdots (iii)

Similarly, for the launched height 2H, the new time of flight, t', is

t'=\sqrt {\frac {4H}{g}}

From equation (iii), we have

\Rightarrow t'=\sqrt 2 t\;\cdots (iv)

Now, the spheres may be launched at speed V_0 or 2V_0.

Let, the distance covered in the x-direction be D_1 for V_0 and D_2 for 2V_0, we have

D_1=V_0t'

D_1=V_0\times \sqrt 2 t [from equation (iv)]

\Rightarrow D_1=\sqrt 2 D [from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow D_1=1.41 D (approximately)

This is in the 3 points range as given in the figure.

Similarly, D_2=2V_0t'

D_2=2V_0\times \sqrt 2 t [from equation (iv)]

\Rightarrow D_2=2\sqrt 2 D [from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow D_2=2.82 D (approximately)

This is out of range, so there is no point for 2V_0.

Hence, students must choose the speed V_0 to launch the sphere to get the maximum number of points.

Newton began his academic career in 1667. For how long was he a working scientist? Was he a very productive scientist?
rjkz [21]
Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.

A proton moving at 3.0 × 10^4 m/s is projected at an angle of 30° above a horizontal plane. If an electric field of 400 N/C is a
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The time it takes the proton to return to the horizontal plane is 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

From Newton's second law, F = mg and also from coulomb's law F= Eq

Dividing both equations by mass;

F/m = Eq/m = mg/m, then

g = Eq/m --------equation 1

Again, in a projectile motion, the time of flight (T) is given as

T = (2usinθ/g) ---------equation 2

Substitute in the value of g into equation 2

T = \frac{2usin \theta}{\frac{Eq}{m}} =\frac{m* 2usin \theta}{Eq}

Charge of proton = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

Mass of proton = 1.67 X 10⁻²⁷ kg

E is given as 400 N/C, u = 3.0 × 10⁴ m/s and θ = 30°

Solving for T;

T = \frac{(1.67X10^{-27}* 2*3X10^4sin 30}{400*1.6X10^{-19}}

T = 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

Hey!!

here is your answer >>>

We know that, acids and strong bases are good conductors of electricity!. And gold conducts electricity , while the best is silver and niext comes gold!. And H20 which is water contains less ions , so it is not a good conductors , it is a conductors but not a good conductor!. Salt in it's solid for cannot produce ions, hence, it cannot conduct electricity , but when this salt is mixed with water or when it is in it's molten state it can conduct electricity!. So now,the answer for the question is ,

B) III and IV only!.

Hope my answer helps!
