According to Newton's thirdlaw, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When a comb is charged and held near small piec

es of paper, the comb exerts an electric force on the paper pieces and pulls them toward it. Why don't you observe the comb moving toward the paper pieces as well

Answer:

Due to the fact that the comb is in terms of mass bigger than pieces of paper

Explanation:

In terms of mass, the comb is way too bigger than the piece of paper so it is virtually impossible for it to move towards the pieces of paper

According to Newton third law action and reaction are equal and opposite

Mathematically

P=m*v

Where

P= impulse is Newton

m=mass of the body

V= velocity of the body

Now since the comb has a greater mass it will not move to the paper, else the paper must have to move to it.

A car accelerates at a rate of 13m/s^2[S]. If the car's initial velocity is 120km/h[N]. What will its final velocity be in m/s,
Delvig [45]

Answer:

the final velocity of the car is 59.33 m/s [N]

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the car, a = 13 m/s²

initial velocity of the car, u = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s

duration of the car motion, t = 2 s

The final velocity of the car in the same direction is calculated as follows;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

v = 33.33 + (13 x 2)

v = 59.33 m/s [N]

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 59.33 m/s [N]

Please help on this one?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

A, 30V

Explanation:

First combine all resistors to an equivalent resistor. Since they are in series, the equivalent resistance is the sum of all resistor

Req = 20 + 40 + 60 = 120Ω

Using Ohm's law, find the current in the circuit

V = I * R

I = V / R

I = 60V / 120Ω

I = 0.5 A

Now the potential drop across the resistor R3 is the current times R3 resistance, therefore:

Vdrop = 0.5A * 60Ω = 30V

So the potential drop across resistor R3 is 30 V

A 1.51 kg ball and a 1.97 kg ball are connected by a 1.63 m long rigid, massless rod. The rod is rotating clockwise about its ce
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

T = 1.205\,N\cdot m

Explanation:

Needed torque can be estimated by means of the Theorem of Angular Momentum Conservation and Impact Theorem. The center of mass of the system is:

\bar r = \frac{(0\,m)\cdot (1.51\,kg)+(1.63\,kg)\cdot (1.97\,kg)}{1.51\,kg+1.97\,kg}

\bar r = 0.923\,m

Let assume that both masses can be modelled as particles, then:

[(1.51\,kg)\cdot (0.923\,m)^{2} + (1.97\,kg)\cdot (0.707\,m)^{2}]\cdot (38\,\frac{rev}{min} )\cdot (\frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev} )\cdot (\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} ) -T\cdot (7.5\,s) = 0\,\frac{kg\cdot m^{2}}{s}

The torque needed to stop the system is:

T = 1.205\,N\cdot m
