The car A has a weight of 4000 lb and is traveling to the right at 3 ft/s. Meanwhile a 2000 lb car B is traveling at 6 ft/s to t

he left. If the cars crash head-on, and at a time instant during the crash the impact force on A is 900 lb to the left, what is the magnitude and direction of the impact force exerted on B at the instant?
(A) 900 lb to the left
(B) 450 lb to the left
(C) 450 lb to the right
(D) 1800 lb to the left
(E) 900 lb to the right

To solve this problem we should apply Newton's third law for which it is defined that there must be an equal reaction in the opposite direction.

From this law, if Car A generates a force on car B, that car must have opposed a force exactly the same but in the opposite direction. The car A moved to the left and generates a force of 900lb so the magnitude of the force in the car B is also 900lb but to the right (opposite direction to the first car)

The correct option is 900lb to the right.

Calculate the time it would take a motor with a power of 0.6kW to lift a suitcase of 20kg a distance of 50cm
True [87]

Answer:

0.163 s

Explanation:

Appying,

P = mgh/t................ Equation 1

Where P = power of the motor, m = mass of the suitcase, h = vertical distance, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

make t the subject of the equation,

t = mgh/P................ Equation 2

Given: m = 20 kg, h = 50 cm = 0.5 m, P = 0.6 kW = 600 W

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 2

t = (20×0.5×9.8)/600

t = 0.163 s

A car is driven 225 km west and then 98 km southwest (45).
slava [35]
Sum the vector components: Dx = 225* Cos(180)+ 78*Cos(225)= -280.154 km Dy = 225* Sin(180)+ 78*Sin(225) = -55.154 km displacement: Sqrt(Dx^2+Dy^2) = 285.532 km Arctan(Dy/Dx) = 191.137degrees CCW OR: 11.137 degrees South of West
