<u>Answer</u>

1.667 m/s²

Using the Newton's second law of motion;

force is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum and it takes place in the direction of force.

i.e F = change in momentum

F = (mv - mu)/t

   =m(v-u)/t

   = ma

∴ F =ma

  a = F/m

      = 150/90

      = 1.667 m/s²

A space rocket accelerates uniformly from rest to 160ms^-1 upwards in 4.0s, then travels with a constant speed of 160ms^-1 for t
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

40 ms¯².

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we shall illustrate the question with a diagram.

The attached photo gives a better understanding of the question.

From the attached photo:

Velocity (v) = 160 ms¯¹

Time (t) = 4 secs.

Acceleration (a) =?

Acceleration (a) = Velocity (v) /time (t)

a = v/t

a = 160/4

a = 40 ms¯²

Therefore, the initial acceleration of the rocket is 40 ms¯².

A 50-kg box is being pushed along a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the ground is 0.6
dsp73

To solve the exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's Second Law, as well as the definition of Weight and Friction Force.

According to the problem there is a movement in the body and it is necessary to make a sum of forces on it, so that

\sum F = ma

There are two forces acting on the body, the Force that is pushing and the opposing force that is that of friction, that is

F - F_f = ma

To find the required force then,

F=F_f+ma

By definition we know that the friction force is equal to the multiplication between the friction coefficient and the weight, that is to say

F = \mu mg +ma

F = 0.35*50*0.8+50*1.2

F=(171.5N)+(50Kg)(1.2m/s^2)

F=231.5N

F\approx 230N

Therefore the horizontal force applied on the block is B) 230N

name the metal which form the filament of an electric bulb. what is the function of contact wire in bulb.​
harina [27]
Incandescent light bulbs consist of an air-tight glass enclosure (the envelope, or bulb) with a filament of tungsten wire inside the bulb, through which an electric current is passed. Contact wires and a base with two (or more) conductors provide electrical connections to the filament.

A trolley of mass 4 kg moves with a velocity of 0.5 meter per second It colides with a stationary trolley of mass 3 kg. If the t
Luda [366]

Answer:

Approximately 0.29\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Explanation:

Make use of the fact that total momentum is conserved in collisions.

The momentum of an object of mass m and velocity v is p = m\, v.

The momentum of the two trolleys before the collision would be:

  • 4\; {\rm kg} \times 0.5\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} = 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.
  • 3\; {\rm kg} \times 0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 0\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Thus, the total momentum of the two trolleys right before the collision would be 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Since the two trolleys are stuck to one another after the collision, they could modelled as one big trolley of mass m = 3\; {\rm kg} + 4\; {\rm kg} = 7\; {\rm kg}.

The momentum of the two trolleys, combined, is conserved during the collision. Thus, the total momentum of the new trolley of mass m = 7\; {\rm kg} would continue to be v = 2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}} shortly after the collision.

Rearrange the equation p = m\, v to find the velocity of the two trolleys combined:

\begin{aligned}v &= \frac{p}{m} \\ &= \frac{2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}}{7\; {\rm kg}} \\ &\approx 0.29\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.
