Truck A has a mass of 5000 kg and a velocity of +5m/s. Explain why we say truck B has a velocity of -5m/s.

Velocity is a vector, which includes both magnitude and direction. Negative velocity means that B is travelling in an opposite direction of A.

a student is pushing a 50 kilogram cart with a force of 500 newtons another students measures the speed of the cart and finds th
Irina-Kira [14]

The force of friction is 300 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law of motion: in fact, the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration. So we can write

\sum F = ma

where

\sum F is the net force acting on the object

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

For the cart in this problem, we have two forces acting on it:

- The force of push, F = 500 N, forward

- The force of friction, F_f, backward

So Newton's second law can be rewritten as

F-F_f = ma

where

m = 50 kg

a=4 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the cart

And solving for F_f, we find the force of friction:

F_f = F-ma=500-(50)(4)=300 N

A passenger in a helicopter traveling upwards at 15 m/s accidentally drops a package out the window. If it takes 15 seconds to r
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The helicopter was 1103.63 meters high when the package was dropped.

Explanation:

We consider positive speed as a downward movement

y: height (m)

t: time (s)

v₀: initial speed (m/s)

Δy = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}gt²

Δy= 15\frac{m}{s}×15 s + \frac{1}{2}×9.81\frac{m}{s^{2} }×(15 s)²

Δy= 1103.63 m

ICE Princess25 [194]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

For horizontal equilibrium,
T₃ cos38 = T₂ cos 50
0.788 T₃ = 0.6428 T₂
T₃ = 0.8157 T₂                (1)

For vertical equilibrium,
T₂ sin 50 + T₃ sin 38 = 430
0.766 T₂ + 0.6157 T₃ = 430
1.2441 T₂ + T₃ = 698.392        (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
(1.2441 + 0.8157) T₂ = 698.392
T₂ = 339.058 N
T₃ = 0.8157(399.058) = 276.571 N

Answer:
T₂ = 339.06 N
T₃ = 276.57 N

Experiment with the battery voltage set to 15 volts, measure the current in a parallel circuit with 1,2,3, and 4 light bulbs. (I
koban [17]

Answer:

1) current = I

2) Resistance = V/I

3) current = 2I

4) resistance = V/2I

5) current = 3I

6) Resistance = V/3I

7) Current = 4I

8) Resistance = V/4I

Explanation:

When one bulb is connected across the battery then let say the current is given as I

Then resistance is given as

R = \frac{V}{I}

When two bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes twice of initial current

so we have

current = 2I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{2I}

When three bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes three times of initial current

so we have

current = 3I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{3I}

When four bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes four times of initial current

so we have

current = 4I

Resistance of the circuit is now

R = \frac{V}{4I}
