An overnight rainstorm has caused a major roadblock. Three massive rocks of mass m1=514 kg,m1=514 kg, m2=792 kg,m2=792 kg, and m

3=322 kgm3=322 kg have blocked a busy road. The rocks are lined up from left to right in the order m1,m1, m2,m2, and m3.m3. The city calls a local contractor to use a bulldozer to clear the road. The bulldozer applies a constant force to m1m1 in order to slide the rocks off the road. Assuming the road is a flat, frictionless surface and the rocks are all in contact, what force, FA,FA, must be applied to m1m1 to slowly accelerate the group of rocks from the road at 0.250 m/s2?

Answer:

278.5 N

Explanation:

First, let us find the total mass to be moved. We add up all the given masses together.

The total mass to be moved, M

M = 514 + 792 + 322 = 1628 kg.

Next, we find the force that is applied to the blocks. Remember that F = ma, so

Force applied to all the blocks, F =

F = 1628 * 0.25 = 407 N

Now we find the force that was applied to only the first rock

F = 514 * 0.25 = 128.5 N

From this, we can get the remaining force that was applied to the last two rocks, by subtracting them from each other

F' = 407 - 128.5 = 278.5 N

Explain why an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not. (Be sur
Firlakuza [10]

An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.

<h3>Why an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break?</h3>

An egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not because the momentum and acceleration increases when the egg is thrown downward due to gravity but when we throw an egg in the vertical direction, they move against gravity so the momentum and acceleration decreases.

So we can conclude that an egg thrown at a concrete wall will break, but an egg thrown at a sheet hanging from the ceiling will not due to high momentum and acceleration.

A steel ball and a wooden ball of the same diameter are released together from the top of a tower. In the absence of air resista
ella [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The steel ball and the wooden ball do not have the same force acting on them because their masses are different. But, they have the same acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s².

Using the equation of motion under freefall, s = ut +1/2gt². Since u = 0,

s = 1/2gt² ⇒ t = √(2s/g)

Since. s = height is the same for both objects, they land at the same time neglecting air resistance.

Tems11 [23]
Well, the thing is: we don't really know, as we don't even know how many species there are on earth.

If we take a look at the estimates of <span>World Wide Fund for Nature, an organization that works toward combating species extinction, their estimates vary from 200 to 100 000 - but a probable number is 20 000 (d). </span>
