Kamala puts on inline skates and stands facing a wall. When she pushes against the wall, she rolls backward. Why does pushing ha

rder make her roll faster?
-The force of friction between the wheels and the ground decreases.

-The force of the wall pushing on her increases.

-The additional force decreases her weight.

-The extra force causes an increase of the normal force from the ground.

Because the force of the wall pushing on her increases.

According to Newton's third law of motion, to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the Kamala pushes the wall, the wall also pushes her. Pushing harder against the wall causes the force of the wall pushing her also increase. Thus, making her roll faster.

Answer: Second option "The force of the wall pushing on her increases."

Explanation: This is because of Newton's third law: For every action (force) in nature, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So when Kamala pushes against the wall, the wall is also pushing against Kamala, and this is what impulses her backward. So if she uses more force, then the wall sill apply more force on her, and then she will roll faster.

The right answer is then the second option: "The force of the wall pushing on her increases."

noname [10]

Decreasing the mass of the car will help increase the acceleration of the car using application of Newton’s laws of motion.

<h3>What is Newton's law of motion?</h3>

This law discusses the relationship between motion of a substance and the forces acting on it.

Heavy objects are more difficult to move which is why decrease in mass will help increase the acceleration.

Bats, which have a high-calorie diet of insects and face little danger from predators, sleep a lot. In contrast, cows, which hav
kherson [118]

The function of sleep theory supported by the illustration is sleep conserves and protects.

<h3>Positive impact of sleep</h3>

From the first sentence, bats sleep a lot because they face little danger from predators and as such, they have a high-calorie diet of insects.

<h3>Negative impact of sleep</h3>

From the second sentence, cows sleep less, because they face more danger from predators and as such, they have a low-calorie diet of insects.

We can conclude that sleep helps to keep animal safe. Therefore, the correct option will be, "Sleep conserves and protects".

A bicyclist of mass 60kg supplies 340W of power while riding into a 5 m/s head wind. The frontal area of the cyclist and bicycle
NikAS [45]

Answer:

87.1 mph

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass,m=60 kg

Power,P=340 W

Speed,v=5 m/s

Area,A=0.344 m^2

Drag coefficient,C_d=0.88

Coefficient of rolling resistance,\mu_r=0.007

Friction force,f=\mu_rmg=0.007\times 60\times 9.8=4.1 N

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Let speed of cyclist=v'

Drag force,F_d=\frac{1}{2}\rho_{air}AC_dv^2

Density of air,\rho_{air}=1.225 kg/m^3

F_d=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.225\times 0.344\times 0.88(5)^2=4.635N

Power,P=(F_d+f)\times v'

340=(4.1+4.635) v'=8.735v'

v'=\frac{340}{8.735}=38.9m/s

v'=87.1 mph

1 m=0.00062137 miles

1 hour=3600 s

An ideal gas is compressed at constant pressure p=1500 Pa from a volume Vi=0.4 m3 to Vf=0.25 m3. At the same time, heat is trans
Anon25 [30]

To solve this problem we will apply the first law of thermodynamics and we will make a balance between the heat transferred, its internal energy and the total work. Recall that for gases the definition of work can be expressed in terms of its pressure and volume. Let's start

dQ = dU +dW

Here,

dU = Internal Energy

dW = Work

But internal energy is unchanged, then

dQ = dW

dQ = PdV

Where

dV= Change in Volume

P = Pressure

Finally, the expression of the heat transferred can be expressed in terms of pressure and volume, so it would end up becoming

dQ = p(v_i-v_f)

Replacing,

dQ = (1500)(0.4-0.25)

dQ = 225J

Therefore the correct answer is B.

A bus is designed to draw its power from a rotating flywheel that is brought up to 3000 rpm by an electric motor. The flywheel i
Arada [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of rotational kinetic energy. Once this energy is found we will proceed to find the time from the definition of the power, which indicates the change of energy over time. Let's start with the kinetic energy of the rotating flywheel is

E_r = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

Here

I = moment of inertia

\omega = Angular velocity

Here we have that,

\omega = 3000\frac{rev}{min}(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})(\frac{1min}{60s})

\omega = 314.159rad/s

Replacing the value of the moment of inertia for this object we have,

E_r = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{MR^2}{2})\omega^2

E_r = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{2000(0.5)^2}{2})(314.159)^2

E_r = 1.233698*10^7J

The expression for average power is

P = \frac{E_r}{\Delta t}

\Delta t = \frac{E_r}{P}

\Delta t = \frac{1.233698*10^7}{20*10^3}

\Delta t = 616.8s \approx 620s

Therefore the correct answer is 620s.
