Using Newton's second law of motion:

F=ma ; [ F = force (N: kgm/s^2);m= mass (kg); a = acceleration (m/s^2)

Given: Find: Formula: Solve for m:

F: 2500N mass:? F=ma Eq.1 m=F/a Eq. 2

a= 200m/s^2

Solution:

Using Eq.2

m= (2500 kgm/s^2)/ (200m/s^2) = 12.5 kg

A 2800 kg truck moving at 12 m/s to the right hits a stopped 1100 kg car. What is the combined velocity the moment they stick to

leva [86]

Answer:

The combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 2800 kg

Initial speed of truck, u = 12 m/s

The mass of a car, m' = 1100 kg

Initial speed of the car, u' = 0

We need to find the combined velocity the moment they stick together. Let it is V. Using the conservation of momentum.

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{2800\times 12+0}{2800+1100}\\\\V=8.61\ m/s$

So, the combined velocity is 8.61 m/s.

A ball thrown by Ginger is moving upward through the air. Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. Diagram B shows a box wit

vichka [17]

As the ball is moving in air as well as we have to neglect the friction force on it

So we can say that ball is having only one force on it that is gravitational force

So the force on the ball must have to be represented by gravitational force and that must be vertically downwards

So the correct FBD will contain only one force and that force must be vertically downwards

So here correct answer must be

<em>Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. </em>

A plane mirror of circular shape with radius r=20cm is fixed to the ceiling. A bulb is to be placed on the axis of the mirror. A

KIM [24]

Answer:

0.75 m

Explanation:

Let's call the distance between the bulb and the mirror x.

The bulb and the length of the mirror form a triangle. The mirror and the illuminated area on the floor form a trapezoid. If we extend the lines from the mirror edge to the reflected image of the bulb, we turn that trapezoid into a large triangle. This triangle and the small triangle are similar. So we can say:

x / 0.4 = (3 + x) / 2

Solving for x:

2x = 0.4 (3 + x)

2x = 1.2 + 0.4 x

1.6 x = 1.2

x = 0.75

So the bulb should located no more than 0.75 m from the mirror.
