An iron bar has more mass than a plastic bar of the same volume. so the iron bar will have greater inertia.

Irina-Kira [14]

The response is False, both bars, iron bars and plastic bars have de same inertia, this characteristic does not depend on the type of material, the inertia depends on his transverse section, since we can estimate in the following formula

<span>Area moment of inertia Ixx = BH3/12</span>

<span>Area moment of inertia Iyy= HB3/12</span>

A 1000kg car is rolling slowly across a level surface at 1 m/s heading twoards a group o fsmall innocent children. The doors are

Degger [83]

Answer:

The force required to push to stop the car is 288.67 N

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 1 m/s

The car and push on the hood at an angle of 30° below horizontal, $\theta=30^{\circ}$

Distance, d = 2 m

Let F is the force must you push to stop the car.

According work energy theorem theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy as :

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)F\times d=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

$v = 0$

$Fd\ cos\theta=\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2) F=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2)}{d\ cos\theta}F=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1000\times (1)^2}{2\ cos(30)}F = -288.67 N$

The force required to push to stop the car is 288.67 N

Wildlife researcher starts from a and then reaches b, he turns towards north 40 degree to move towards c.

Total displacement is ac

Total horizontal displacement = 4+4 cos40 =7.06 km

Total vertical displacement = 4 sin40 =2.57 km

Total displacement $= \sqrt{7.06^2+2.57^2}$ = 7.51 km

A train's mass is 500 kg and it's acceleration is 5 m/s. What is the net force on the train

trapecia [35]

The answer is 2500 newtons. F = M * A, so 500 kg x 5 m/s = 2500 newtons.
