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.
Physics
1 answer:
sp2606 [1]3 years ago
7 0

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.

4. As Juan is going to take a shower, the soap falls out of the soap dish on to the
LiRa [457]

The coefficient of friction between the soap and the floor is 0.081

If Juan steps on the soap with a force of 493 N, this is her weight, W. This weight also equals the normal reaction on the floor, N.

We know that frictional force F = μN where μ = coefficient of friction between soap and floor.

So, μ = F/N

Since F = 40 N and N = W = 493 N,

μ = F/N

μ = 40 N/493 N

μ = 0.081

So, the coefficient of friction between the soap and the floor is 0.081

Why is it not posible to see the other waves on the electromagnetic spectrum???
Montano1993 [528]
It is not possible to see the other waves on the electromagnetic spectrum because only other species can see the other parts of the spectrum because they have different components in their eyes than we do, therefore, only allowing us to see a
portion of the spectrum, which is visible light.

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment and th
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a) 0.0288 grams

b) 2.6*10^{-10} J/kg

Explanation:

Given that:

A typical human  body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass

The abundance  for the three isotopes are:

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.

a)

Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.

However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :

0.012% × 240 grams

= 0.012/100 × 240 grams

= 0.0288 grams

b)

the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:

First the Dose in (Gy) = \frac{energy \ absorbed }{mass \ of \ the \ body}

= \frac{1.10*10^6*1.6*10^{-14}}{80}

= 2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg

Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy

Effective dose (Sv) =  1.2  *2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg

Effective dose (Sv) = 2.6*10^{-10} J/kg

In which direction is the magnetic force acting on the charge? into the screen out of the screen up down
Harrizon [31]

The direction in which the magnetic force is acting on the charge is upwards.

<h3>What is Magnetic force?</h3>

This is the attraction and repulsion which usually occurs during the motion of electrically charged particles.

In the magnetic field, the charge is moving to the left. Therefore the direction the magnetic force is acting on the charge is upwards which is gotten via right hand rule.
