What is Newton's Second Law of Motion? (2 points) Every reaction is equal to the force applied. Forces are balanced when they ar

e equal and opposite. The smaller the mass of an object, the greater the acceleration of that object when a force is applied. The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration. An object at rest or in motion will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Well, they're not quite the way Newton expressed it, but out of all this mess of statements, there are two that are correct AND come from Newton's 2nd Law of Motion:

<em>-- The smaller the mass of an object, the greater the acceleration of that object when a force is applied. </em>

<em>-- The greater the force applied, the greater the acceleration.</em>

For the <u><em>other </em></u>statements in the question:

-- <em>Every reaction is equal to the force applied.</em>  True; comes from Newton's <u><em>3rd</em></u> law of motion.

-- <em>Forces are balanced when they are equal and opposite.</em>  True; kind of a definition, not from Newton's laws of motion.

-- <em>An object at rest or in motion will remain at rest or in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. </em>  True; comes from Newton's <em><u>1st </u></em>law of motion.

A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 50 times as massive and falling at 8.4 m/s, a typical raindrop speed. How fast
kenny6666 [7]

The final velocity after the collision is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, if we consider the system to be isolated (=no external unbalanced forces), the total momentum of the raindrop+mosquito must be conserved before and after the collision.

If the collision is perfectly inelastic, moreover, the raindrop and the mosquito stick together and travel at the same velocity v after the collision.

Mathematically:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v  

where:  

m_1 is the mass of the first mosquito

u_1 = 0 is the initial velocity of the mosquito

m_2 = 50 m_1 is the mass of the raindrop

u_2 = 8.4 m/s is the initial velocity of the raindrop

v is the final combined velocity of the raindrop+mosquito

Re-arranging the equation and substituting, we find:  

m_1 u_1 + 50 m_1 u_2 = (m_1 + 50 m_1) v\\50 m_1 u_2 = 51 m_1 v\\50 u_2 = 51 v\\v=\frac{50}{51}u_2 = \frac{50}{51}(8.4)=8.2 m/s

How much power does it take to do 500 J of work in 10 seconds?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
Power = work/time
  
          = 500/10
 
          = 50J/s or 50 watt
