Answer:

The motion of the ball relative to the ground is stationary

The motion of the ball relative to the wagon is backwards

Explanation:

To describe the motion of the ball relative to the ground, we note that

Assuming the ball is perfectly round and rotate freely, then we have

Force on the ball due to motion of the wagon = 0 N,

Then by the law of motion, an object will remain at rest when no force is applied to it

Therefore, apart from rotation of the ball, it will remain no displacement relative to the ground.

The motion of the ball relative to the wagon

Relative to the wagon, the ball appears to be moving in the opposite direction to the wagon, that is backwards.

A boy and a girl are on a spinning merry-go-round. The boy is at a radial distance of 1.2 m from the central axis; the girl is a
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

E) True. The girl has a larger tangential acceleration than the boy.

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask us to say which statement is correct, for this we propose the solution to the problem.

Angular and linear quantities are related

          v = w r

          a = α r

the boy's radius is r₁ = 1.2m the girl's radius is r₂ = 1.8m

as the merry-go-round rotates at a constant angular velocity this is the same for both, but the tangential velocity is different

          v₁ = w 1,2 (boy)

          v₂ = w 1.8 (girl)

whereby

          v₂> v₁

reviewing the claims we have

          a₁ = α 1,2

          a₂ = α 1.8

          a₂> a₁

A) False. Tangential velocity is different from zero

B) False angular acceleration is the same for both

C) False. It is the opposite, according to the previous analysis

D) False. Angular acceleration is equal

E) True. You agree with the analysis above,

Toy car in a science experiment covers 1.6 meters in half a second. If a the car travels at a steady speed, how far will it go i
Tanzania [10]
The answer is D. 32 m.

The simple equation that connects speed (v), time (t), and distance (d) can be expressed as:
v= \frac{d}{t}         ⇒ d=v*t

It is given:
v =  \frac{1.6m}{0.5s} = \frac{1.6m*2}{0.5s*2}= \frac{3.2m}{1s}  = 3.2 m/s
t = 10 s
d = ?

So:
d= v*t=3.2m/s*10s = 32m

Nikolas had an idea that he could use the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher to propel him on his skateboard.
Vikentia [17]
The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the <span>Third law that states:

</span><span>When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
</span>
So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is <span>the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:

</span>FA = -FB<span>

</span>
