A father is pulling his child on a sled in the snow. According to Newton’s Third Law, the force the father exerts on the sled is

equal to the force the sled exerts on the father but opposite in direction. How is it possible that the father can pull the child and sled forward?

That is because there are other forces like the friction forces that apply differently on both of them. The frictional forces applied to the sled are smaller than they are on the father, for example, so it's possible for him to pull it.

The components of a 15 meters per second velocity at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal are?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x-component of velocity: 7.5 m/s

y-component of velocity: 13 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is pure trigonometry. Assuming you know trig, there are only a couple of steps to solving this problem. First, split the velocity into components; recall that any vector not directed along an axis has x and y components. Then, remember that sinΘ = opposite/hypotenuse. Applying this to your scenario, you get sin60° = vy/15. Multiplying this out gives you vy=15sin60. Put this into a calculator (make sure it's set to degree mode because the angle in this problem is in degrees) and you should get 12.99, which you can round up to 13 m/s. This is the velocity in the y-direction.

The procedure to find the x-velocity is very similar, but instead of using sine, we will use the cosine of theta. Recall that cosΘ=adjacent/hypotenuse. Once again plugging this scenario's numbers into that, you end up with cos60 = vₓ/15. Multiplying this out gives you vₓ = 15cos60. Once again, plug this into your calculator. 7.5 m/s should be your answer. This is the velocity in the x-direction.

By the way, a quick way to find the components of a vector, whether it's velocity, force, or whatever else, is to use these functions. Generally, if the vector points somewhere that's not along an axis, you can use this rule. The x-component of the vector is equal to hypotenuse*cosΘ and the y-component of the vector is equal to hypotenuse*sinΘ.

The formula used to find force is F=m*v.<br> true or false
zepelin [54]

It's true IF ' m ' stands for mass and ' v ' stands for acceleration. Otherwise it's false.

How much heat is released when a 10.0-g sample of iron cools from 75.0°c to 25.5 °c? the specific heat capacity of iron is 0.449
GalinKa [24]
M = 10.0 g, the mass of the iron sample
ΔT = 75 - 25.2 = 49.5°C, the decrease in temperature
c = 0.449 J/(g-°C), the specific heat of iron

The heat released is
Q = m*c*ΔT
    = (10.0 g)*(0.449 J/(g-°C))*(49.5 C)
    = 222.255 J

Answer: 222.3 J (nearest tenth)

If you wanted to detect x rays coming from the sun, where would you place the detector? Why?
Damm [24]
You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps
