Answer:

option (c)

Explanation:

In the game of tug of war, the Newton's third law is obeyed.

One team pulls the rope in one direction and the other team pulls the rope in another direction.

As the mass of one team is more, so it is harder to pull the rope by the another team.

So, it depends on the total mass of the team.

Option (c) is correct.

Answer:

The best answer would be <u><em>C. Total mass of the team.</em></u>

Explanation:

C would be the best answer because when looking in the formula of force then the 2 factors that are inputted are mass and acceleration but in this case acceleration would most likely not have much have an effect so that leaves the factor of mass.

Hope this helped!

malfutka [58]

Answer:

a) p_i=1.568\hat{i}+0.752 \hat{j}

b) v_{fx}=1.668\ m.s^{-1}

c) v_{fy}=0.7999\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given masses:

m_1=0.49\ kg

m_2=0.47\ kg

Velocity of mass 1, v_1=3.2 \hat{i}\ m.s^{-1}

Velocity of mass 2, v_2=1.6 \hat{j}\ m.s^{-1}

a)

Initial momentum:

p_i=m_1.v_1+m_2.v_2

p_i=0.49\times 3.2 \hat{i}+0.47\times 1.6 \hat{j}

p_i=1.568\hat{i}+0.752 \hat{j}

b)

magnitude of initial momentum:

p_i=\sqrt{1.568^2+0.752 ^2}

p_i=1.739\ kg.m.s^{-1}

From the conservation of momentum:

p_f=p_i

m_f.v_f=1.739

v_f=\frac{1.739}{0.49+0.47}

v_f=1.85\ m.s^{-1} is the magnitude of final velocity.

Direction of final velocity will be in the direction of momentum:

tan\theta=\frac{0.752 }{1.568}

\theta=25.62^{\circ}

\therefore v_{fx}=1.85\ cos25.62^{\circ}

v_{fx}=1.668\ m.s^{-1}

c)

Vertical component of final velocity:

v_{fy}=1.85\ sin 25.62^{\circ}

v_{fy}=0.7999\ m.s^{-1}

*FRICTIONAL FORCE* in the opposite direction of the way Bobby is pushing.
Friction is a force which varies but it is always opposing the direction of motion.

*APPLIED FORCE* is the force that Bobby is pushing with.
An applied force is literally the force that is applied to an object.

*WEIGHT FORCE* is also called the force of gravity. It is straight downward.
It is the weight of the object multiplied by the force of gravity. If the TV weighed 100kg, acceleration is always 9.81 m/s^2, so the weight force would be 981 N.

*NORMAL FORCE* is the force which is holding the TV above ground. The ground supplies a force upward against the TV.
Normal force is just the force that prevents the TV from falling through the ground. We don't normally realize it in our everyday life, but the floor must hold everything up because gravity is always "pushing" against it.

what factors limit the accuracy of a potentiometer and what was the objective of reversing the terminals of the cell​
cricket20 [7]

Explanation:

<em>"The accuracy of a potentiometer can be increased by decreasing the potential gradient across the potentiometer wire, and this can be achieved by increasing the length"</em>

<em />

<u>The factors that are affecting/limiting the accuracy of the potentiometer are: </u>

  1. The specific resistance of the material of the potentiometer wire.
  2. The potential gradient
  3. The current passing through the potentiometer wire.
  4. Area of a cross-section of the wire
  5. Internal temperature.

     

<u>The objective of reversing the terminals of the cell​</u>

If the jockey of the potentiometer is pressed for a long time, joule heating sets in, so that reversing the terminals of the potentiometer will prevent the resistance due to joule heat from being added to the measured resistance, ultimately preventing unwanted resistance

A man weighs 645 N on Earth. What is his mass?
Lerok [7]
To convert from newtons to kg in earth gravity, simply divide by 10 (or 9.8 if being specific). 645N = ~64.5kg
