James is trying to prove Newton's 2nd law of motion. He tries to move four different objects with different masses from point A

to point B. The objects are a toy car, a car, a refrigerator and a kitchen table. James finds that it takes the least amount of force to move the A) A B) B C) C D) D

Answer: Hello mate!

By Newton's laws. we know that when we apply a force in an object, then we also are applying acceleration, given by the equation F =ma, where F is the applied force, m is the mass of the object and a is the acceleration.

Now in this problem, we only have that James want to move objects from point A to point B. If the problem says that James does it at the same time for each object, then we could assume that each object has the same acceleration A.  

F = m*A

then if the mass of the o

object increases, the force needed to move it at the given acceleration will increase also, then the object that requires less force is the object with less mass, in this case, the toy car.

But in this problem never says that the objects are moved with the same acceleration (or in the same amount of time), then we could apply the same force in the four objects and eventually the four will get to the point b ( for example, the refrigerator would take a lot more of time than the toy car.

Toy car will take the least amount of force.
this is because the toy car has a much lighter mad than the other objects meaning it will take less force to get it to move.

Saturn has a radius of about 9.0 earth radii, and a mass 95 times the Earth’s mass. Estimate the gravitational field on the surf
torisob [31]

Answer:

11.49 m/s²

Explanation:

gs = gm/r²

gs = g(95 Me) / (9²Re²)

gs = ge × (95/9²)

gs = 1.173 × ge

gs = 1.173 × 9.8

gs = 11.49

The unit is m/s²

Are sound waves transverse waves or longitudinal waves? Why?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: Longitudinal Waves

Explanation: The particles of the medium pass parallel to the course that the heart beat moves. This sort of wave is a longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves are usually characterised through particle motion being parallel to wave movement. A valid wave traveling thru air is a classic example of a longitudinal wave.

1).which of the following describes the interaction between a south pole and a north pole of a magnet
kumpel [21]

1) a) attract

The magnetic force between two magnetic poles is attractive for two unlike poles and repulsive for two like poles. Therefore we have:

1- For two north poles, the force between them is repulsive

2- For two south poles, the force between them is repulsive

3- For a north pole and a south pole, the force between them is attractive

In this problem, we are in the situation described in 3), so the force between the poles is attractive.

2) a) motion of electrons

While electric fields are produced by static electric charges, magnetic fields are produced by charges in motion (currents). In particular, a current in a wire (where a current is simply the motion of electrons inside the wire) produces a magnetic field whose intensity is

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

where

I is the current in the wire

r is the radial distance from the wire

And the direction of the field lines are such that the field form concentric circles around the wire.

Using the force and vector explain why the car is off the road after being hit by the bus
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Solution

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The direction of motion of bus and car can be denoted by velocity vectors ( v1 and v2 ) respectively.

- On a page draw the velocity vector v1 vertically up denoting the direction of motion of bus from origin

- Similarly,draw the velocity vector v1 horizontally left denoting the direction of motion of car from origin.

-  The force exerted by the car-bus interaction is always in the direction of motion.

- The force exerted by the bus is parallel to velocity vector as F1 and force exerted by the car is parallel to velocity vector as F2.

- The vector addition of of the two forces ( F1 and F2 ) will tell us the direction and magnitude of resultant force due to car-bus interaction.

- The resultant force will cause the car to be pushed off the road in the direction shown in the diagram.

A force of 50N is applied to the end of a lever to lift a rock that is 350N . what is the mechanical advantage of a lever?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

MA  = 7

Explanation:

Mechanical Advantage = Load/Effort

From the question,

Load  = 350N

Effort applied = 50N

Mechanical Advantage = 350N/50N

Mechanical Advantage = 7

Hence the mechanical advantage is 7
