An automobile with a mass of 1450 kg is parked on a moving flatbed railcar; the flatbed is 1.50 m above the ground. The railcar

has a mass of 38500 kg and is moving to the right at a constant speed of 8.70 m/s on a frictionless rail. The automobile them accelerates to the left, leaving the railcar at a speed of 22.0 m/s with respect to the ground. When the automobile lands, what is the distance D between it and the left end of the railcar?

kogti [31]

Answer:

C. Plate Tectonics

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics is when the lithosphere is separated into plates. These plates move over or float over the asthenosphere. The movement of these plates cause earthquakes and can interact with the volcanic activity.

igomit [66]

Answer:

W_2=-12J

Explanation:

The work of force 2 will be given by the vectorial equation W_2=F_2.d. We know the value of F_1 and have information about its movement, which relates to the net force F=F_1+F_2.

About this movement we can obtain the acceleration using the equation v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad. Since it departs from rest we have a=\frac{v_f^2}{2d}.

And then using Newton's 2dn Law we can obtain the net force F=ma, thus we will have F_2=F-F_1=ma-F1=\frac{mv_f^2}{2d}-F_1

And we had the work done by force 2 as:

W_2=F_2.d=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-F_1d

(The sign will be given algebraically since we take positive the direction to the right.)

With our values:

W_2=\frac{(10kg)(2m/s)^2}{2}-(8N)(4m)=-12J

<em>Another (shorter but maybe less intuitive way for someone who is learning) way of doing this would have been to say that the work done by both forces would be equal to the variation of kinetic energy:</em>

<em>W_1+W_2=K_f-K_i=K_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}</em>

<em>Which leads us to the previous equation straightforwardly.</em>

Consider a plywood square mounted on an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the square and passes through the center of t
belka [17]

Answer:

T= 8.061N*m

Explanation:

The first thing to do is assume that the force is tangential to the square, so the torque is calculated as:

T = Fr

where F is the force, r the radius.

if we need the maximum torque we need the maximum radius, it means tha the radius is going to be the edge of the square.

Then, r is the distance between the edge and the center, so using the pythagorean theorem, r i equal to:

r = \sqrt{(0.38m)^2+(0.38m)^2}

r = 0.5374m

Finally, replacing the value of r and F, we get that the maximun torque is:

T = 15N(0.5374m)

T= 8.061N*m

A rocket engine provides 28,913 Newtons of thrust. The rocket has a mass of 2,350 kilograms. Calculate its acceleration if it mo
Dafna11 [192]
1. The unknown is acceleration
2. The givens are the force(28,913N) and the mass(2350kg)
3. The equation is a=f/m where a is acceleration,f is force and m is mass
4.a=28913/2350 a=12.30340426
5. Therefore its acceleration is 12.30m/s²(rounded to nearest hundredth)
