If you toss a ball vertically upward in a uniformly moving train, it returns to its starting place. Will it do the same if the t

rain is accelerating?
Physics
1 answer:
gogolik [260]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:No

Explanation:

No

As the train is accelerating so train velocity will be more as compared to the ball  and thus will cover more distance as compared to the ball.

When the ball is thrown upward with some velocity, it also possesses the train velocity at the time of throwing but as time passes velocity of train increases due to acceleration of the train. This causes the ball to fall behind the point of launch.

In being served, a tennis ball is accelerated from rest to a speed of 42.1 m/s. The average power generated during the serve is
hoa [83]

Answer:

Force F = 69.35 N

Explanation:

given data

Ball Initial speed u = 0

Ball Final speed v = 42.1 m/s

average power generate = 2920 W

solution

Power generate is express as

P= \frac{W}{t}   ..............1

here W is work done and t is time

and work w = F × d

so

P= \frac{Fd}{t}  

and we know speed v = \frac{d}{t}  

so here

Power P = F × v

put here value and we get force

Force F = \frac{2920}{42.1}

Force F = 69.35 N

One horse is pulling a 755 kg sled straight ahead applying a force of 1988 N. If the acceleration of the sled is 1.36 m/s2, what
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it, the factor of proportionality is the mass. So, we can express that law mathematically as:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a} (1)

With F the net force, m the mass and a the acceleration of the object. In our case we're interested on what's happening to the sled, then we have to analyze the forces on it, those forces are the weight and the normal force on the vertical direction and the pulling force and frictional force in the horizontal direction. So, because (1) is a vector equation we can express that in their vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components:

F_y=ma_y (2)

F_x=ma_x (3)

On y we have that the acceleration is zero because the sled is not moving upward or downward, remember that the net force on y is the weight (W) pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward:

F_y=W+n=0

Following the convention that positive is upward and negative downward, W=mg=(755)(-9.81):

F_y=(755)(-9.81)+n=0

n=7406.55 N (4)

Now on the x direction we have the sum of the forces is the pulling force (T) and friction force (f)

F_x=F+f=ma_x

Choosing the direction where the horse is pulling F=1988N and the acceleration should be positive too, then:

1988+f=m(1.36)

f=(755)(1.36)-1988=-961.2 N

The negative sign means it's in the opposite direction the horse is pulling

The frictional force is related with the coefficient of kinetic friction in the next way:

|f|=\mu_k n

with μk the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n the normal force that we already found on (4), so we simply solve the last equation for μk:

\mu_k=\frac{|f|}{n}=\frac{961.2}{7406.55}=0.13

A person just supports a mass of 20kg suspended from a rope.
Georgia [21]

Answer:

F = 200 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass suspended from the rope, m = 20 kg

We need to find the resultant force acting on the rope. The resultant force on the rope is equal to its weight such that,

F = mg

Where

g is acceleration due to gravity

Put all the values,

F = 20 kg × 10 m/s²

F = 200 N

So, the resultant force on the mass is 200 N.
