Explanation:

A stone is thrown upward neglecting air resistance. ... Why is it important that a satellite remain above Earth's atmosphere? The air resistance will slow it down and burn it. What happens to a satellite close to Earth's surface if it is given a speed exceeding 11.2 km/s?

A refrigerator is being pulled up a ramp with a horizontal force P, which acts at the top corner. The refrigerator has a mass of

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(a) P = 459.055 N.

(b) the refrigerator tips.

Explanation:

Given, the angle of ramp is 20°.

When the weight of refrigerator is resolved in directions parallel and perpendicular to ramp, 75×g×sin(20°) and 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ normal contact force is 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ frictional force is 0.3×75×g×cos(20°) = 207.414 N

so, total opposite force is 207.414 + 75×g×sin(20°) = 459.055 N.

so, the force needed is P = 459.055 N

And as the moment due to both opposite force and P force are in same direction the refrigerator tips rather than just sliding.

Define s.i unit of force explanation

kvv77 [185]

<h3>Answer :</h3>

◈ As per newton's second law of motion, Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration $.$

Mathematically,

$\dag\:\boxed{\bf{\purple{F=ma}}}$

Unit of mass : kg

Unit of acceleration : m/s²

Therefore,

Unit of force ➠ kg m/s²

SI unit : N (newton) or kg m/s²

You are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 27.0 m/s. as you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tr

Bezzdna [24]

speed of the car = 27 m/s

speed of truck ahead = 10 m/s

relative speed of car with respect to truck

$v_r = 27 - 10 = 17 m/s$

relative deceleration of car

$a_r = -7 m/s^2$

now the distance before they stop with respect to each other is given by

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 17^2 = 2 *(-7)*d$

$d = 20.6 m$

so it will come at the same speed of truck after 20.6 m distance and hence it will not hit the truck as the distance of the truck is 25 m from car

Part b)

Distance traveled by car before it stops is given by

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s$

$0^2 - 27^2 = 2 * (-7)* s$

$s = 52.1 m$

so it will stop after it will cover total 52.1 m distance

Part c)

time taken by the car to stop

$v_f - v_i = at$

$0 - 27 = (-7) * t$

$t = 3.86 s$

now the distance covered by truck in same time

$d = 3.86 * 10 = 38.6 m$

now after the car will stop its distance from the truck is

$D = 25 + 38.6 - 52.1 = 11.5 m$

so the distance between them is 11.5 m

Two blocks of masses m and 3m are placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A light spring is attached to the more massive b

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Conservation of momentum is followed

m₁ v₁ = m₂ v₂

3m x 2 = m v

v = 6 m/s

Total kinetic energy

= 1/2 x .35 x 6 ² + 1/2 x 1.05 x 2 ²

= 8.4 J

This energy must be stored as elastic energy in the spring which was released as kinetic energy on burning the cord.

Yes , the conservation of momentum will be followed in the bursting apart process. Only internal forces have been involved in the process. Two equal and opposite internal forces are created by spring which creates motion and generates kinetic energy.
