Which body exerts the force that propels the sprinter, the blocks or the sprinter?

Physics

Answer: The blocks

Explanation:
When the sprinter takes off, he/she presses hard on the block.
The blocks apply an equal and opposite force to the sprinter according to Newton's 3rd law of motion.
The reaction force from the blocks gives the sprinter the initial acceleration to begin the race.

A distressed car is rolling backward, downhill at 3.0 m/s when its driver finally manages to
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration is equal to the change in velocity over the change in time, or

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t} where the change in velocity is final velocity minus initial velocity. Filling in:

3.0=\frac{v_f-(-3.0)}{6.0} Note that I made the backward velocity negative so the forward velocity in our answer will be positive.

Simplifying that gives us:

3.0=\frac{v_f+3.0}{6.0} and then isolating the final velocity, our unknown:

3.0(6.0) = v + 3.0 and

3.0(6.0) - 3.0 = v and

18 - 3.0 = v so

15 m/s = v and because this answer is positive, that means that the car is no longer rolling backwards (which was negative) but is now moving forward.

Very easy physics maths about current and other stuffs only one question please help me
Reil [10]

Answer:

The total voltage of the circuit is 18 volts.

Explanation:

We have, three identical resistors of resistance 3 ohms are connected in series in a circuit.

For a series combination, the equivalent resistance is given by the sum of individual resistances i.e.

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2+R_3\\\\R_{eq}=3+3+3\\\\R_{eq}=9\ \Omega

Let V is the voltage of the battery if the current in the circuit is 2 A. So,

V=IR

V=2\times 9\\\\V=18\ V

So, the total voltage of the circuit is 18 volts.

A car with a mass of 2000 kg is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 m/s per second. The curve has a radiu
IrinaK [193]
The centripetal force is:
 F = mv² / R
 Where:
 m: mass of the object
 v: object speed
 R: radius of the curve.
 We have to:
 m = 2000kg
 v = 25 m / s
 R = 80 meters.
 Then the centripetal force acting on the vehicle is:
 F = (2000kg * (25m / s) ²) / 80m
 F = 15625 N

A thin rod of length 0.75 m and mass 0.42 kg is suspended
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a)  K = 0.63 J, b)  h = 0.153 m

Explanation:

a) In this exercise we have a physical pendulum since the rod is a material object, the angular velocity is

         w² = \frac{m g d}{I}

where d is the distance from the pivot point to the center of mass and I is the moment of inertia.

The rod is a homogeneous body so its center of mass is at the geometric center of the rod.

              d = L / 2

the moment of inertia of the rod is the moment of a rod supported at one end

              I = ⅓ m L²

we substitute

            w = \sqrt{\frac{mgL}{2}  \ \frac{1}{\frac{1}{3} mL^2} }

            w = \sqrt{\frac{3}{2}  \ \frac{g}{L} }

            w = \sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} \ \frac{9.8}{0.75}  }

            w = 4.427 rad / s

an oscillatory system is described by the expression

              θ = θ₀ cos (wt + Φ)

the angular velocity is

             w = dθ /dt

             w = - θ₀ w sin (wt + Ф)

In this exercise, the kinetic energy is requested in the lowest position, in this position the energy is maximum. For this expression to be maximum, the sine function must be equal to ±1

In the exercise it is indicated that at the lowest point the angular velocity is

           w = 4.0 rad / s

the kinetic energy is

           K = ½ I w²

           K = ½ (⅓ m L²) w²

           K = 1/6 m L² w²

           K = 1/6 0.42 0.75² 4.0²

           K = 0.63 J

b) for this part let's use conservation of energy

starting point. Lowest point

             Em₀ = K = ½ I w²

final point. Highest point

             Em_f = U = m g h

energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Em_f

             ½ I w² = m g h

             ½ (⅓ m L²) w² = m g h

             h = 1/6 L² w² / g

             h = 1/6 0.75² 4.0² / 9.8

             h = 0.153 m
