Two boxes are at rest on a smooth, horizontal surface. The boxes are in contact with one another. If box 1 is pushed with a forc

e of magnitude F = 12.2 N , the contact force between the boxes is 8.90 N ; if, instead, box 2 is pushed with the force F, the contact force is 3.30 N . In either case, the boxes move together with an acceleration of 1.50 m/s2. What is the mass of box 1? What is the mass of box 2?

Answer:

mass of box 1 = 2.20 kg

mass of box 2 = 5.93 kg

Explanation:

Let the mass of box 1 and box 2 is respectively

$m_1$ and $m_2$

so we will have

Force applied on box 1 then acceleration

$a = \frac{F}{m_1 + m_2}$

$1.50 = \frac{12.2}{m_1 + m_2}$

$m_1 + m_2 = 8.13$

Now we know that contact force between them in above case is given as

$F_n = m_2a$

$8.90 = m_2(1.5)$

$m_2 = 5.93 kg$

now we have

$m_1 = 2.20 kg$

Two point charges of +2.50 x 10^-5 C and -2.50 x 10^-5 C are separated by 0.50m. Which of the following describes the force betw

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Q1 = +2.50 x 10^-5C and Q2 = -2.50 x 10^-5C, r = 0.50m, F=?

Using Coulomb's law:

F = 1/(4πE) x Q1 x Q2/ r^2

Where

k= 1/(4πE) = 9 x 10^9Nm2/C2

Therefore,

F = 9x 10^9 x 2.50 x 10^-5 x2.50 x

10^-5/. ( 0.5)^2

F= 5.625/ 0.25

F= 22.5N approximately

F= 23N.

To find the direction of the force: since Q1 is positive and Q2 is negative, the force along Q1 and Q2 is force of attraction.

Hence To = 23N, attractive. C ans.

A projectile is launched from the ground at an angle of 60o above the horizontal. At what point in its trajectory does it have t

Elodia [21]

Answer:

It's constant everywhere in its trajectory.

Explanation:

the projectile was launched with an initial velocity, the only acceleration that is affecting the projectile's velocity is gravity.

The acceleration of gravity is practically equal everywhere on earth, so during its trajectory, we have to take into consideration only the acceleration because of gravity.

This is only correct because the projectile was launched with an initial velocity and it's not accelerating from rest and then falls.

In this lab you will use a cart and track to explore various aspects of motion. You will measure and record the time it takes th

Keith_Richards [23]

It is given that by using track and cart we can record the time and the distance travelled and also the speed of the cart can be recorded. With all this data we can solve questions on the laws of motion.

Like using the first law of motion we can determine the force of gravity acting on the cart that has moved a certain distance and the velocity or the speed of card has already been registered and since time is known putting the values in formula would help us calculate the gravitational pull acting on cart.

A cannon with a muzzle speed of 1 000 m/s is used to start an avalanche on a mountain slope. The target is 2 000 m from the cann

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

∅ = 89.44°

Explanation:

In situations like this air resistance are usually been neglected thereby making g= 9.81 m/ $s^{2}$

Bring out the given parameters from the question:

Initial Velocity ( $V_{1}$ ) = 1000 m/s

Target distance (d) = 2000 m

Target height (h) = 800 m

Projection angle ∅ = ?

Horizontal distance = $V_{1x}$ tcos ∅ .......................... Equation 1

where $V_{1x}$ = velocity in the X - direction

t = Time taken

Vertical Distance = y = $V_{1y}$ t - $\frac{1}{2}$ g $t^{2}$ ................... Equation 2

Where $V_{1y}$ = Velocity in the Y- direction

t = Time taken

$V_{1y}$ = $V_{1}$ sin∅

Making time (t) subject of the formula in Equation 1

t = d/( $V_{1x}$ cos ∅)

t = $\frac{2000}{1000coso}$ = $\frac{2}{cos0}$ = $\frac{d}{cos o}$ ...................Equation 3

substituting equation 3 into equation 2

Vertical Distance = d = $V_{1y}$ $\frac{d}{cos o}$ - $\frac{1}{2}$ g $\frac{2}{cos0} ^{2}$

Vertical Distance = h = sin∅ $\frac{d}{cos o}$ - $\frac{1}{2}$ g $\frac{2}{cos0} ^{2}$

Vertical Distance = h = dtan∅ - $\frac{1}{2}$ g $\frac{2}{cos0} ^{2}$

Applying geometry

$\frac{1}{cos o}$ = $tan^{2} o$ + 1

Vertical Distance = h = d tan∅ - 2 g ( $tan^{2} o$ + 1)

substituting the given parameters

800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 2 (9.81)( $tan^{2} o$ + 1)

800 = 2000 tan ∅ - 19.6( $tan^{2} o$ + 1) Equation 4

Replacing tan ∅ = Q .....................Equation 5

In order to get a quadratic equation that can be easily solve.

800 = 2000 Q - 19.6 $Q^{2}$ + 19.6

Rearranging 19.6 $Q^{2}$ - 2000 Q + 780.4 = 0

$Q_{1}$ = 101.6291

$Q_{2}$ = 0.411

Inserting the value of Q Into Equation 5

tan ∅ = 101.63 or tan ∅ = 0.4114

Taking the Tan inverse of each value of Q

∅ = 89.44° ∅ = 22.37°
