A car is moving with a constant velocity of 25 m/s. Which of the following is true?
1 answer:
b) the net force on the car is zero.
Explanation:
Let's analyze each option one by one:
a) the force from the engine is greater than all the forces of friction. --> FALSE. In fact, the car is moving at constant velocity: this means that its acceleration is zero,
a = 0
and so Newton's second law becomes
where is the net force on the car and m is its mass. This means that the net force on the car is zero: so, the force from the engine cannot be greater than all the forces of friction, otherwise the net force cannot be zero.
b) the net force on the car is zero. --> TRUE, for what we said at point A)
c) the inertia is changing. --> FALSE. The inertia of an object just depend on the mass and the velocity of the object: as neither the mass nor the velocity are changing in this problem, then the inertia of the car is not changing.
d) the forces of friction are proportional to the acceleration of the car. --> FALSE. Generally, the force of friction acting on an object moving on a flat surface is
where is the coefficient of friction, m is the mass, and g the acceleration of gravity. Therefore, the force of friction does not depend on the acceleration of the car.
e) All of the above. --> FALSE

Answer:
a) x = 40 t , y = 39 t , z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ², b) x = 80 feet , y = 78 feet , the ball came into the field
Explanation:
a) This is a projectile launch exercise, where in the x and y axes there is no acceleration and in the z axis the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity, let's write the equations of motion in each axis
Since the cast is in the center of the field, let's place the coordinate system
x₀ = 0
y₀ = 0
z₀ = 6 feet
x-axis (towards end zone, GOAL zone)
x = xo + v₀ₓ t
x = 40 t
y-axis (field width)
y = y₀ + t
y = 39 t
z axis (vertical)
z = z₀ + v_{oz} t - ½ g t²
z = 6 + 32 t - ½ 32 t²
z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ²
b) The player catches the ball at the same height as it came out, so we can find the time it takes to arrive
z = 6
6 = 6 + 32 t - 16 t²
(t - 2)t = 0
t=0 s
t= 2 s
The ball position
x = 40 2
x = 80 feet
y = 39 2
y = 78 feet
the dimensions of the field from the coordinate system (center of the field) are
x_total = 150 feet
y _total = 80 feet
so we can see that the ball came into the field
