8 0

Newtons second law of motion: "The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object."

kinetic energy is energy that an object posses while in motion and to get that it must have potential energy.

The second law of motion is: "Force equals mass times acceleration". Newton’s first law says that a net external force results in a change in motion; thus, we see that a net external force causes acceleration, which is "the rate of change of velocity per unit of time". In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion and it is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. So Kinetic energy is somewhat related to acceleration which is used in Newton's second law of motion.

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars

shtirl [24]

In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

A torque of 36.5 N · m is applied to an initially motionless wheel which rotates around a fixed axis. This torque is the result

vivado [14]

Answer:

$21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

$3.672\ \text{Nm}$

$54.66\ \text{revolutions}$

Explanation:

$\tau$ = Torque = 36.5 Nm

$\omega_i$ = Initial angular velocity = 0

$\omega_f$ = Final angular velocity = 10.3 rad/s

t = Time = 6.1 s

I = Moment of inertia

From the kinematic equations of linear motion we have

$\omega_f=\omega_i+\alpha_1 t\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{t}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=\dfrac{10.3-0}{6.1}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=1.69\ \text{rad/s}^2$

Torque is given by

$\tau=I\alpha_1\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{\tau}{\alpha_1}\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{36.5}{1.69}\\\Rightarrow I=21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

The wheel's moment of inertia is $21.6\ \text{kg m}^2$

t = 60.6 s

$\omega_i$ = 10.3 rad/s

$\omega_f$ = 0

$\alpha_2=\dfrac{0-10.3}{60.6}\\\Rightarrow \alpha_1=-0.17\ \text{rad/s}^2$

Frictional torque is given by

$\tau_f=I\alpha_2\\\Rightarrow \tau_f=21.6\times -0.17\\\Rightarrow \tau=-3.672\ \text{Nm}$

The magnitude of the torque caused by friction is $3.672\ \text{Nm}$

Speeding up

$\theta_1=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.69\times 6.1^2\\\Rightarrow \theta_1=31.44\ \text{rad}$

Slowing down

$\theta_2=10.3\times 60.6+\dfrac{1}{2}\times (-0.17)\times 60.6^2\\\Rightarrow \theta_2=312.03\ \text{rad}$

Total number of revolutions

$\theta=\theta_1+\theta_2\\\Rightarrow \theta=31.44+312.03=343.47\ \text{rad}$

$\dfrac{343.47}{2\pi}=54.66\ \text{revolutions}$

The total number of revolutions the wheel goes through is $54.66\ \text{revolutions}$ .

A lens collects light and focuses it into a small spot. This increases the ________ of the light wave.A lens collects light and

Anika [276]

Answer:

intensity.

Explanation:

when the light collected by the lens is focused into a small spot it tends to increase the intensity of the light.

as different path of light with different intensity combines from passing through the lens it tends to make the light path and intensity coherent and after being coherent there intensity increases.
