Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts

a force of 75.0 N, the second a force of 95.0 N, friction is 12.0 N, and the mass of the third child plus wagon is 21.0 kg.
(c) Calculate the acceleration.
m/s2
(d) What would the acceleration be if friction is 20.0 N?

Answer:

Value of acceleration in each case is  7.52\ m/s^2 \ and \ 7.14\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

According to newton's law :

F_{net} = ma       ...equation 1.

In the given case, F_{net}= Force by both the children - Friction force .

F_{net} = (75+95)-12=158\ N.

Putting value of F in equation 1.

a=\dfrac{F_{net}}{m}=\dfrac{158}{21}=7.52\ m/s^2.

Now, if friction force = 20 N.

Therefore, F_{net}=(75+95)-20=150\ N.

Putting value of F and a in equation 1.

a=\dfrac{F_{net}}{m}=\dfrac{150}{21}=7.14\ m/s^2.

Hence , this is the required solution.

What happens to light when it travels from air into water
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Water is more dense than air. When water goes through a denser thing, the light is "bent" more towards the "normal" which is a straight, vertical line.

Question 4. A tuning fork ‘A’ produces 6 beats/sec with another fork ‘B’ of un-known frequency. On
8090 [49]

Clever problem.

We know that the beat frequency is the DIFFERENCE between the frequencies of the two tuning forks.  So if Fork-A is 256 Hz and the beat is      6 Hz, then Fork-B has to be EITHER 250 Hz OR 262 Hz.  But which one is it ?

Well, loading Fork-B with wax increases its mass and makes it vibrate SLOWER, and when that happens, the beat drops to 5 Hz.  That means that when Fork-B slowed down, its frequency got CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A ... their DIFFERENCE dropped from 6 Hz to 5 Hz.

If slowing down Fork-B pushed it CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A, then its natural frequency must be ABOVE Fork-A.

The natural frequency of Fork-B, after it gets cleaned up and returns to its normal condition, is 262 Hz.  While it was loaded with wax, it was 261 Hz.

Why are high tides found simultaneously on opposite sides of earth?
dexar [7]

Explanation:

Why are high tides found simultaneously on opposite sides of Earth? The tidal bulges occur on both sides of Earth that are aligned with the tide-generating body. The ocean water experiencing high tide rotates around Earth on a 12-hour cycle.
