Thumbtacks have a flat top which gives you a bigger area to push on, and the end is tapered and sharp to make it easier to push it into a wall, etc.

Most motorcycles could win a drag race against most cars. Use<br>Newton's 2nd law to explain this.​
shutvik [7]

Answer:

is has be deducted that acceleration of an object depends only on the the mass of the object. car has a greater mass that a motorcycle.

Explanation:

the newton second law states that when a net force act on an object,the object accelerates in the direction of the net force. the acceleration is directly proportional to the net force and inversely to the mass.

mathematically, F = ma    .......................... (eqn 1)

where, F = force, m=mass and  a = acceleration

F = m(ΔV/t)    .......................... (eqn 2)

acceleration =change in velocity divide time

t = time

v= velocity

Ft = mΔV

also a∝1/m

this same second can also mean the rate of change in momentum of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force.

Drag race is a function of acceleration, therefore, a car weighs more than a motorcycle.

the reason while motorcycle moves more faster than a car is due to the weight of the motorcycle as compare to the car. if the same acceleration is applied, and there weigth are difference, this will affect the force (causing an increased resultant force for the car), whereas time used will be affected.

for example:

a motorcycle has a weight 0f 181kg

a car has a weight 0f 1590kg

from  a∝1/m

they both will moves at a different acceleration

the force will be different

Ft = mΔV

A dad pushes tangentially on a small hand-driven merry-go-round and is able to accelerate it from rest to a frequency of 18 rpm,
puteri [66]

Answer:

F = 176.175 N

Explanation:

given,  

radius of merry - go - round = 2.7 m

mass of the disk = 800 kg  

speed of the merry- go-round = 18 rpm  

                                                 = 18 \dfrac{2\pi }{60}

                                                 = 1.88 rad/s

time = 13 s

mass of two children = 25 kg  

ω = ω₀ + α t

1.88 = 0 + α(13)

α = 0.145 rad/s²

we know

τ = I α

so,

I = \dfrac{1}{2}MR^2+ 2 MR^2  

I = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 800 \times 2.7^2+ 2\times 25\times 2.7^2

I = 3280.5 kg.m^2  

τ = I α

τ = 3280.5 x 0.145

τ = 475.67 N m

τ = F x r

475.67 = F x 2.7

F = 176.175 N
