Answer:

<h2>15.25 N</h2>

Explanation:

       A force of 55\text{ }N is acting on a wagon along the road. The wagon weights 7.5\text{ }kg. Acceleration of the wagon is given as 5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

       Consider the block as the system, the forces acting are Frictional force, Gravitational force, Normal reaction and External force applied by us.

       Gravitational Force and Normal Reaction cancel out each other.

       Net External Force = Mass of system/wagon \times Acceleration of wagon

       F_{ext}-F_{friction}=(7.5\text{ }kg)\times(5.3\text{ }\frac{m}{s^{2}})=39.75\text{ }N\\55\text{ }N-F_{friction}=39.75\text{ }N\\F_{friction}=15.25\text{ }N

F_{friction} has a negative sign because it opposes the motion of the wagon.

∴ Frictional Force = 15.25 N

A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h in the 17.0 s that it takes to round
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:

u = 94.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 26.1 m/s

v=46.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=12.8 m/s

Now we find the centripetal acceleration which is given by

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v = 12.8 m/s is the speed

r = 140 m is the radius of the curve

Substituting values, we find

a_c=\frac{(12.8 m/s)^2}{140 m}=1.17 m/s^2

we also have a tangential acceleration, which is given by

a_t = \frac{v-u}{t}

where

t = 17.0 s

Substituting values,

a_t=\frac{12.8 m/s-26.1 m/s}{17.0 s}=-0.78 m/s^2

The two components of the acceleration are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the resultant acceleration by using Pythagorean theorem:

a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}=\sqrt{(1.17 m/s^2)+(-0.78 m/s^2)}=1.41 m/s^2

Squids propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracting the cavity
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

v_squid = - 2,286 m / s

Explanation:

This exercise can be solved using conservation of the moment, the system is made up of the squid plus the water inside, therefore the force to expel the water is an internal force and the moment is conserved.

Initial moment. Before expelling the water

          p₀ = 0

the squid is at rest

Final moment. After expelling the water

         p_{f} = M V_squid + m v_water

         p₀ = p_{f}

          0 = M V_squid + m v_water

           c_squid = -m v_water / M

The mass of the squid without water is

            M = 9 -2 = 7 kg

let's calculate

           v_squid = 2 8/7

           v_squid = - 2,286 m / s

The negative sign indicates that the squid is moving in the opposite direction of the water
