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.

Suppose the earth is shaped as a sphere with radius 4,0004,000 miles and suppose it rotates once every 24 hours. How many miles
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

1047 miles

Explanation:

The radius of the Earth is

r = 4000 (miles)

So its circumference, which is the total length of the equator, is given by

L=2\pi r= 2\pi(4000)=25133 mi

Now we know that the Earth rotates once every 24 hours. So the distance through which the equator moves in one hour is equal to its total length divided by the number of hours, 24:

L' = \frac{25133 mi}{24h}=1047 mi

. Each valve A, B, and C, when open, releases water into a tank at its own constant rate. With all three valves open, the tank f
olasank [31]

Answer:

Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.

Explanation:

Given that

Time taken by tank when all(A+B+C) are open = 1 hr

Time taken by tank when A+C are open = 1.5 hr

Time taken by tank when B+C are open = 2 hr

If we treat as filling of tank is a work then

Work = time x rate

Lets take work is 1 unit

1 = 1(1/a+1/b+1/c)          ---------1

1 = 1.5(1/a+1/c)           ----------2

1 = 2(1/b+1/c)             --------3

From equation 1 and 3

1=1(1/a+1/2)

a=2

Form equation 2

1 = 1.5(1/2+1/c)

c=6

From equation 3

 1 = 2(1/b+1/6)  

b=3

So time taken by

A is alone to fill tank is 2 hr

B is alone to fill tank is 3 hr

C is alone to fill tank is 6 hr

So time\ taken\ by\ A\ and\ B =\dfrac{2\times 3}{2+3} hr

Time taken by A and B is 1.2 hr.
