The correct answer to the question is A): The truck and trailer will experience a net force of 40 newtons backward.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the force exerted by the truck F = 2750 N forward.

The force exerted by the trailer F' = 2790 N backward.

We are asked to calculate the net force experienced by the truck and trailer.

From above, we see that two forces are anti parallel i.e they are opposite to each other.

Hence, the angle between them $\theta = 180^{0}$ .

Let the magnitude of the resultant force is R.

From parallelogram law of vector addition, the magnitude of the resultant is calculated as -

$R=\ \sqrt{F^2+F'^2+2FF'cos\theta}$

= $\sqrt{F^2+F'^2+2FF'cos180}$

= $\sqrt{F^2+F'^2-2FF'}$

= $\sqrt{(F'-F)^2}$

= F' - F

= 2790 N - 2750 N

= 40 N. [ans]

The direction of resultant of two anti parallel vectors will be along the direction of bigger vector.

Hence, the net force will be 40 N backward.

ss7ja [257]

Distance , d = a+b $t^2$

The unit of d is in meter and t is in seconds.

So the unit of a a must be meter.

Now we have unit of b $t^2$ is meter.

So unit of b* $second^2$ = meter

Unit of b = meter/ $second^2$

So unit of a = m and unit of b = m/ $s^2$ .

In space movies, spacecrafts explode and oxygen is needed for a fire to start. Why is it wrong? What would really happen?

Triss [41]

Answer:

Hey

The reason these "space movies" are wrong is because objects in "space" (not in a "space" craft) can't catch on fire because there is no air in "space".

1. When you have different masses for each sphere, how does the force that the larger mass sphere exerts on the smaller mass sph

aleksandrvk [35]

1) The forces are equal (Newton's third law of motion)

2) The force between the spheres will quadruple

3) The force of gravity exerted by the notebook on you is negligible

Explanation:

1)

In this part of the problem, we want to compare the gravitational force exerted by the larger mass sphere on the smaller mass sphere to the force exerted by the smaller mass sphere to the larger mass sphere.

We can do this by using Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

<em>"When an object A exerts a force (called </em><em>action</em><em>) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called </em><em>reaction</em><em>) on object A"</em>

In this problem, we can identify the larger mass sphere as object A and the smaller mass sphere as object B. This law tells us that the two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction: therefore, the gravitational force exerted by the larger mass sphere on the smaller mass sphere is equal to the force exerted by the smaller mass sphere to the larger mass sphere.

2)

The magnitude of the gravitational force between the two spheres is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$m_1, m_2$ are the masses of the two spheres

r is the separation between the two spheres

In this problem, we are asked to find what happens when the distance between the spheres is halved, therefore when the new distance is

$r'=\frac{r}{2}$

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F'=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r'^2}=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{(r/2)^2}=4(\frac{Gm_1 m_2}{r^2})=4F$

So, the force between the two spheres will quadruple.

3)

We can give an estimate for the gravitational force exerted by your notebook on you.

As we said, the magnitude of the gravitational force is

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

Where:

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

Let's estimate the following:

$m_1 = 60 kg$ is your mass

$m_2 = 2 kg$ is the mass of the notebook

$r=1 m$ , assuming the notebook is at 1 metre from you

Substituting,

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(60)(2)}{1^2}=8.0\cdot 10^{-9} N$

We see that this force has an extremely small value: therefore, it is almost negligible in daily life, where other much stronger forces act on you.

lesya [120]

Answer:

This question is about matching each definition with its correct term. Please find the term matched with their appropriate definition below.

Explanation:

1. Empirical evidence: An empirical evidence is an observational evidence i.e an evidence gathered by observation or use of senses.

2. Dependent variable: Dependent variable is an experimental factor that changes in response to a change in the independent variable. In other words, it is dependent on the independent variable.

3. Applied research: Applied research is a type of research oriented at solving a present problem or need. It encompasses the production of products that can be sold for profit.

4. Hypothesis: A hypothesis in an experiment is a proposed explanation for a scientific problem that itself can be tested by experimentation. A hypothesis aims at providing a testable explanation to an observed problem.

5. Control: A control is a quantity in an experiment that remains unchanged or constant. It is kept the same by the experimenter for all groups in the experiment in order not to influence the outcome.

6. Basic research: Basic research is the research that expands knowledge in a particular area. It is the kind of research that aims at filling a knowledge void or satiating curiosity.

7. Independent variable: The independent variable is the experimental factor that is changed or manipulated deliberately by the scientist.
