A large truck collides with a small car. True or False: The truck exerted a greater magnitude force on the car than the car exer

ted on the truck. True False
Physics
1 answer:
Reptile [31]3 years ago

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The forces on the car and truck are equal and opposite. The equal forces cause accelerations of the truck and car inversely proportional to their mass. That is, If the Truck A exerts a force FAB on car B, then the car will exert a force FBA on the truck. Therefore,

FBA = −FAB

However, this can be explained by Newton's second law. Let's say the truck has mass M and the car has mass m. If the magnitude of the force that both vehicles experience is F, then the magnitudes of their respective accelerations are:

atruck = F/M

acar = F/m

and combining these we get:

atruck/acar = m/M

So if the mass of the car is a lot less than the mass of the truck, then the acceleration of the truck is much smaller than the acceleration of the car, and if you were to watch the collision, the truck would pretty much seem like it's motion was unaffected, but the car's motion will change quite a bit.

Why to astronauts appear weightless while they are filmed performing activities inside the orbiting space shuttle?
vagabundo [1.1K]
<h2>Answer: The astronauts are falling at the same rate as the space shuttle as it orbits around earth</h2>

The astronauts seem to float because they are in free fall just like the spacecraft.

However, although they are constantly falling on the Earth, they do not fall because the ship orbits at a sufficient speed (in the same direction of rotation of the Earth) so that the centrifugal force is balanced with the Earth's gravitational pull.

In other words:

The spaccraft and the astronauts are in free fall but the Earth's surface will never be reached as long as they does not decrease the speed.

Then, as they accelerate toward Earth (regardless of their mass), it curves beneath them and never comes close.

That's why astronauts, having the same acceleration as the spacecraft, feel weightless and see themselves floating.

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, density
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

In most materials, as heat energy is absorbed, the density decreases. IF a certain object is heated, it might appear bigger than usual because it expands as the molecules inside moves faster than usual. However the mass of it stays the same while the density decreases.
