Answer:

forces acting on the two will be equal and opposite in  nature according to Newton's third law of motion.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of Karen, m (let)

then, mass of Bill, 2m

When they are standing near one another and suddenly Bill pushes Karen then this can be treated as elastic collision and the conservation of momentum applies as:

Sum of final and initial momentum of the system is zero.

m.v_k-2m.v_b=0

2v_b=-v_k

v_b=-\frac{v_k}{2}

But the forces acting on the two will be equal and opposite in  nature according to Newton's third law of motion.

2. A person applies a force of 66 N to a fridge as they push it across the length of a standard tennis court. So far today, the
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

P=39.2205\, watt

E=374.948 \,cal

Explanation:

Given that:

  • force applied, F=66\,N
  • displacement, s=23.77\,m (length of a tennis court)
  • time taken for pushing, t = 40 s

Since, work is given by:

W=F.s

W=66\times 23.77

W=1568.82\,J

Now, power is given as:

P=\frac{W}{t}

P=\frac{1568.82}{40}

P=39.2205 \,watt

Calories consumed is:

E= 1568.82\times 0.239

E=374.948\, cal

When the weight of the object increase block what is the force of friction applied? Explanation?
erik [133]

Answer:

There is absolutely No relationship between the weight of an object (which is constant) and the frictional force. If a block is sliding on a surface, that surface will be exerting a force on the block. That force can be resolved into a component parallel to the surface (which we call the frictional component), and a component perpendicular to the surface (called the normal component). For many situations, we find experimentally that the frictional component is approximately proportional to the normal component. The frictional component divided by the normal component is defined to be a quantity called the coefficient of kinetic or sliding friction. The coefficient of kinetic friction obviously depends on the nature of the surfaces involved. The normal component on an object can be decreased if you pull in the direction of the normal component (the weight does not change). However pulling this way on the object not only decreases the normal component, but it also decreases the frictional component since they are proportional. This is why it is easier to slide something if you pull up on it while you push it. If you push down, the normal and frictional components increase so it is harder to slide the object. The weight of an object is the downward force exerted by Earth’s gravity on that object, and it does not change no matter how you push or pull on the object.

A 10-kg package drops from chute into a 25-kg cart with a velocity of 3 m/s. The cart is initially at rest and can roll freely w
amid [387]

Answer:

(a) the final velocity of the cart is 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package is 21.43 kg.m/s

(c) the fraction of the initial energy lost is 0.71

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the package, m₁ = 10 kg

mass of the cart, m₂ = 25 kg

initial velocity of the package, u₁ = 3 m/s

initial velocity of the cart, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the cart = v

(a) Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine common final velocity for ineleastic collision;

m₁u₁  + m₂u₂ = v(m₁  +  m₂)

10 x 3   + 25 x 0   = v(10  +  25)

30  = 35v

v = 30 / 35

v = 0.857 m/s

(b) the impulse experienced by the package;

The impulse = change in momentum of the package

J = ΔP = m₁v - m₁u₁

J = m₁(v - u₁)

J = 10(0.857 - 3)

J = -21.43 kg.m/s

the magnitude of the impulse experienced by the package = 21.43 kg.m/s

(c)

the initial kinetic energy of the package is calculated as;

K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} mu_1^2\\\\K.E_i = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times (3)^2\\\\K.E_i = 45 \ J\\\\

the final kinetic energy of the package;

K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2)v^2\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2} \times (10 + 25) \times 0.857^2\\\\K.E_f = 12.85 \ J

the fraction of the initial energy lost;

= \frac{\Delta K.E}{K.E_i} = \frac{45 -12.85}{45} = 0.71
