Answer: 1.d) The acceleration of an object is always less than the acceleration due to gravity, g (9.81m/s^-2)

2.a)acceleration decreases

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is defined by two variables which is the total force acting on the object and the mass of that object. The acceleration is directly proportional to the net force that is applied on an object and inversely proportional to the mass of that object.

When the force applied on an object is increased so does the acceleration of an object however if the mass increase the acceleration decreases.

This can be felt when you look at the truck which usually carry heavy loads they seem to drive slow due to the load hence their acceleration is decreased by the mass that these truck carry .

C4. A 50.0 kg boy runs at 10.0 m/s, jumps on a cart and rolls off at 2.50 m/s. What is the mass of the cart

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The mass of the cart is 150 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy, m₁ = 50 kg

Initial speed of boy, u₁ = 10 m/s

Initial speed of car, u₂ = 0 (at rest)

The speed of the cart with the boy on it is 2.50 m/s, V = 2.5 m/s

Let m₂ is the mass of the cart. Using the conservation of momentum as follows :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V\\\\50(10)+m_2(0)=(50+m_2)(2.5)\\\\500=125+2.5m_2\\\\375=2.5m_2\\\\m_2=150\ kg$

So, the mass of the cart is 150 kg.

A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of ma

ahrayia [7]

Incomplete question as we have not told to find what.So the complete question is here

A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of mass m, moves with velocity (-60 m/s)i and a second piece, also of mass m, moves with velocity (-60 m/s)j. The third piece has mass 3m.Just after the explosion, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the velocity of the third piece?

Answer:

$V_{3}=(20i+20j)m/s$

Explanation:

Given data

The vessel at rest

Piece one,of mass m,moves with velocity=(-60 m/s)i

Piece two,of mass m,moves with velocity=(-60 m/s)j

Piece three,of mass 3m

As the linear momentum is conserved in this system,Because the system is closed and no external force acting on it

So momentum is given as

$p_{initial}=p_{final}$

As the vessel at rest so the initial momentum is zero

$m_{1}V_{1}+m_{2}V_{2}+m_{3}V_{3}=0\\m_{3}V_{3}=-m_{1}V_{1}-m_{2}V_{2}\\V_{3}=\frac{-m_{1}V_{1}-m_{2}V_{2}}{m_{3}} \\V_{3}=\frac{-m_{1}(-60m/s)i-m_{2}(-60m/s)j}{3m}\\V_{3}=(20i+20j)m/s$

PLZ HELP I DON'T UNDERSTAND!! a boy is playing catch with his friend. He throws the ball straight up. When it leaves his hand, t

algol13

Explanation:

The mass of a ball, m = 2 kg

It is traveling with a speed of 10 m/s

The ball's kinetic energy just as it leaves the boy's hand is calculated as follows :

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times (10)^2\\\\=100\ J$

The ball's kinetic energy just as it leaves the boy's hand is 100 J. The potential energy of the ball when it reaches the highest point is same as the kinetic energy as it leaves the boy's hand.

Hence, the required kinetic and potential energy is 100 J.

An astronaut is in equilibrium when he is positioned 140 km from the center of asteroid X and 581 km from the center of asteroid

mariarad [96]

Answer:

0.05806

Explanation:

$m_x$ = Mass of asteroid x

$m_y$ = Mass of asteroid y

$r_x$ = Distance from asteroid x = 140 km

$r_y$ = Distance from asteroid y = 581 km

m = Mass of asteroid

Force of gravity between asteroid x and the astronaut

$F_1=\frac{Gm_xm}{r_x^2}\\\Rightarrow F_1=\frac{Gm_xm}{140^2}$

Force of gravity between asteroid x and the astronaut

$F_2=\frac{Gm_ym}{r_y^2}\\\Rightarrow F_2=\frac{Gm_ym}{581^2}$

Here these two forces are equal as they are in equilibrium

$\frac{Gm_xm}{140^2}=\frac{Gm_ym}{581^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_x}{140^2}=\frac{m_y}{581^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_x}{m_y}=\frac{140^2}{581^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_x}{m_y}=0.05806$

The ratio of the masses of the asteroid is 0.05806
