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

Calculate the size of the image of a tree that is 8m high and 80 m a pinhole camera that is 20 cm long . what is its magnificati
Vladimir79 [104]

1) Size of the image: 2 cm

In order to calculate the size of the image, we can use the following proportion:

p:q = h_o : h_i

where

p = 80 m is the distance of the tree from the pinhole

q = 20 cm = 0.2 m is the distance of the image from the pinhole

h_o = 8 m is the heigth of the object

h_i is the height of the image

By re-arranging the proportion, we find

h_i = \frac{h_o \cdot q}{p}=\frac{(8 m)(0.2 m)}{80 m}=0.02 m=2 cm


2) Magnification: 0.0025

The magnification of a camera is given by the ratio between the size of the image and the size of the real object:

M=\frac{h_i}{h_o}

so, in this problem we have

M=\frac{0.02 m}{8 m}=0.0025

If Vector A is (3, 0) and Vector B is (-3, 3), what is the resultant?
Archy [21]

Answer:resultant vector R = (0, 3)

Explanation: vector A = (3, 0)

vector B =(-3, 3)

Vectors are added such that those in same directions are added together. The resultant vector R is the given by R = (3-3, 0+3)

= (0, 3)

at the extact same time, youj drop a piece of notebook paper and your science out the window. the science book hit first? why?
jeyben [28]
The piece of paper has less mass and will glide down the window, whereas the textbook will go straight to the ground. Since the textbook has more mass and less ways of it being able to 'glide' the textbook will hit the ground first.
