Suppose two wagons, one with twice as much mass as the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Th

e heavier wagon rolls ____ as fast as the lighter wagon.

Answer:

The heavier wagon rolls 1/2 as fast as the lighter wagon.

Explanation:

When the compressed spring that joins them is released then the force acts on both wagons will be of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. However as the mass of one wagon is twice that of other, so the acceleration  will become half of the heavier wagon in comparison with lighter one.

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun?
expeople1 [14]

Answer: 3.524(10)^{22}N

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of Gravitation, the force F exerted between two bodies of masses m1 and m2  and separated by a distance r  is equal to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance:

F=G\frac{(m1)(m2)}{r^2}   (1)

Where:

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}  

m1=1.99(10)^{30}kg is the mass of the Sun

m2=5.972(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

r=1.50(10)^{11}m  is the distance between the Sun and the Earth

Substituting the values in (1):

F=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{(1.99(10)^{30}kg)(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{(1.50(10)^{11}m)^2}   (2)

Finally:

F=3.524(10)^{22}N   This is the gravitational force acting on the earth due to the sun

State the term used to describe the turning force exerted by the man
ozzi

]A force called the effort force is applied at one point on the lever in order to move an object, known as the resistance force, located at some other point on the lever.

The way levers work is by multiplying the effort exerted by the user. Specifically, to lift and balance an object, the effort force the user applies multiplied by its distance to the fulcrum must equal the load force multiplied by its distance to the fulcrum. Consequently, the greater the distance between the effort force and the fulcrum, the heavier a load can be lifted with the same effort force.

A spool of thread has an average radius of 1.00 cm. If the spool contains 62.8 m of thread, how many turns of thread are on the
Simora [160]

To solve this problem we will start from the given concept in which the number of turns is equivalent to the length of the thread per circumference of spool. That is:

N = \frac{l}{\phi}

Where,

l = length of the thread

\phi= circumference of spool

For \phi we have that,

\phi = 2\pi r \rightarrow 2\pi (0.01)

For l  we have that

l = 62.8m

Finally the number of Turns would be,

N = \frac{l}{\phi}

N = \frac{62.8}{2\pi (0.01)}

N = 1000turns

Therefore the number of turns of thread on the spool are 1000turns.
