If three boys are pushing on a 20 kg cart, each with 15 Newtons of force, and a horse is pulling the cart in the opposite direct

ion with 45 Newtons of force, what is the acceleration of the cart?

The acceleration of the cart is zero

Explanation:

There are 4 forces acting on the cart:

- The 3 forces of F=15 N each, applied forward by three boys

- The force of F'=45 N applied backward by the horse

So we can write Newton's second law of motion as:

$3F-F' = ma$

where

m is the mass of the cart

a is its acceleration

Here we have

m = 20 kg

So we can solve the equation for a, the acceleration of the cart:

$a=\frac{3F-F'}{m}=\frac{3(15)-45}{20}=0$

This means that the acceleration of the cart is zero, because the force applied by the horse perfectly balance the forces applied by the three boys.

In which of these scenarios would the sound of a drumstick hitting a metal bar get to you in the least amount of time?explain ur

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Scenario 1 is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The sound of the drumstick hitting the metal bar will get to me in a shorter amount of time in Scenario 1 . The sound wave will travel faster in the metal bar than through the air because the speed of sound waves in solid is faster than it is in gases.

Current and voltage on each resistor:

$I_1 = 3.98 A, V_1 = 3.98 V$

$I_2=0.015 A, V_2 = 0.075 V$

$I_3 = 0.4 A, V_3 = 0.4 V$

$I_4 = 0.385 A, V_4 = 0.77 V$

$I_5 = 0.585 A, V_5 = 1.17 V$

$I_6 = 3.01 A, V_6 = 6.02 V$

$I_7 = 0.97 A, V_7 = 4.85 V$

Explanation:

In order to solve the circuit, we first have to find the equivalent resistance of the whole circuit, then the total current, and then we can proceed finding the current and the voltage for each resistor.

We start by calculating the equivalent resistance of resistors 2 and 3, which are in parallel:

$R_{23}=\frac{R_2R_3}{R_2+R_3}=\frac{(5)(1)}{5+1}=0.833\Omega$

This resistor is in series with resistor 4, so:

$R_{234}=R_{23}+R_4=0.833+2.0=2.833\Omega$

This resistor is in parallel with resistor 5, therefore:

$R_{2345}=\frac{R_{234}R_5}{R_{234}+R_5}=\frac{(2.833)(2.0)}{2.833+2.0}=1.172\Omega$

This resistor is in series with resistor 7, so:

$R_{23457}=R_{2345}+R_7=1.172+5.0=6.172\Omega$

This resistor is in parallel with resistor 6, so:

$R_{234567}=\frac{R_{23457}R_6}{R_{23457}+R_6}=\frac{(6.172)(2.0)}{6.172+2.0}=1.510\Omega$

Finally, this combination is in series with resistor 1:

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_{234567}=1.0+1.510=2.510\Omega$

We finally found the equivalent resistance of the circuit. Now we can find the total current in the circuit, which is also the current flowing through resistor 1:

$I_1=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{10}{2.510}=3.98 A$

And we can also find the potential difference across resistor 1:

$V_1=I_1 R_1=(3.98)(1.0)=3.98 V$

This means that the voltage across resistor 6 is

$V_6=V-V_1=10-3.98=6.02 V$

And so, the current on resistor 6 is

$I_6=\frac{V_6}{R_6}=\frac{6.02}{2.0}=3.01 A$

The current flowing in the whole part of the circuit containing resistors 2,3,4,5,7, and therefore through resistor 7, is

$I_7=I-I_6=3.98-3.01=0.97 A$

And so the voltage across resistor 7 is

$V_7=I_7 R_7=(0.97)(5.0)=4.85 V$

The voltage across resistor 5 is

$V_5 = V_6 - V_7 = 6.02 - 4.85 =1.17 V$

And so the current is

$I_5 = \frac{V_5}{R_5}=\frac{1.17}{2.0}=0.585 A$

The current through resistor 4 is

$I_4 = I_7 - I_5 = 0.97-0.585 = 0.385 A$

And therefore its voltage is

$V_4=I_4 R_4 = (0.385)(2.0)=0.77 V$

So, the voltage through resistor 3 is

$V_3=V_5-V_4=1.17-0.77=0.4 V$

And the current is

$I_3=\frac{V_3}{R_3}=\frac{0.4}{1.0}=0.4 A$

Finally, the current through resistor 2 is

$I_2=I_4-I_3=0.5-0.385=0.015 A$

And so its voltage is

$V_2=I_2R_2=(0.015)(5.0)=0.075 V$
