On a horizontal frictionless floor, a worker of weight 0.900 kN pushes horizontally with a force of 0.200 kN on a box weighing 1

.8 kN. As a result of this push, which statement could be true?
A) The worker will accelerate at 1.08 m/s^2 and the box will accelerate at 2.17 m/s^2, but in opposite directions.
B) The box will not move because the push is less than the weight.
C) The worker and box will bot have an acceleration of 2.17 m/s^2, but in opposite directions.
D) The worker will accelerate at 2.17 m/s^2 and the box will accelerate at 1.08 m/s^2, but in opposite directions.
E)The worker and box will bot have an acceleration of 1.08 m/s^2, but in opposite directions.

Answer:

D) The worker will accelerate at 2.17  m/s²  and the box will accelerate at 1.08  m/s² , but in opposite directions.

Explanation:

Newton's third law

Newton's third law or principle of action and reaction states that when two interaction bodies appear equal forces and opposite directions. in each of them.

F₁₂= -F₂₁

F₁₂: Force of the box on the worker

F₂₁: Force of the worker on the box

Newton's second law

∑F = m*a

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Formula to calculate the mass (m)

m =  W/g

Where:

W : Weight (N)

g : acceleration due to gravity  (m/s²)

Data

W₁ =1.8 kN   : box weight

W₂ = 0.900 kN : worker weight

F₂₁ = 0.200 kN

F₁₂ = - 0.200 kN

g = 9.8 m/s²

Newton's second law for the box

∑F = m*a

F₂₁ = m₁*a₁    m₁=W₁/g

0.2 kN = (1.8kN)/(9.8 m/s² ) *a₁

a_{1} =\frac{(0.2kN)*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} } }{1.8 kN}

a₁= 1.08 m/s² : acceleration of the box

Newton's second law for the worker

∑F = m*a

F₁₂ = m₂*a₂ , m₂=W₂/g

- 0.2 kN =( (0.9 kN) /(9.8 m/s² ) )*a₂

a_{1} =\frac{(0.2kN)*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} } }{0.9 kN}

a₂=  -2.17 m/s² : acceleration of the worker

Answer:

1) not so long (maybe an hour or two)

2) access to information through the internet will be most affected if my computer and mobile phone run out of battery power.

3) yes, one should prepare for power outage. This can be done by having a standby alternative source of power like the use of inverters that stores electrical energy in form of chemical energy, and small internal combustion engine powered electric generators.

4) solar panels can be used to draw power from incident sun rays, this power can be stored in an inverter for future use in case of a power outage.

5) energy from the sun is converted into direct current which is then supplied to an accumulator in the opposite direction to its flow of current. When the energy is needed, it can be used directly, or converted to an alternating current. This is achieved by connecting its terminal to the supply. Electric field is generated by flow of ions and electrons within the working chemical (e.g lithium).

A 65kg person throw a 0.045kg snowball forward with a ground speed of 30m/s. A second person, with a mass of 60kg, catches the s
Kobotan [32]
Well, st first we should find <span>initial momentum for the first person represented in the task which definitely must be :
</span>(65+0.045)*2.5
And then we find the final one :  65*x + 0.045*30
Then equate them together : x=2.48 m/s 
So we can get the velocity, which is is 2.48 m/s
In that way, according to the main rules of <span>conservation of momentum you can easily find the solution for the second person.
