Answer:

Your body generates a static energy which gives it a net positive Charge as such the charge spreads uniformly over the surface of the doorknob

Two car collide in an intersection. The speed limit in that zone is 30 mph. The car (mass of 1250 kg) was going 17.4 m/s (38.9).

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

u₂ = 3.7 m/s

Explanation:

Here, we use the law of conservation of momentum, as follows:

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2\\$

where,

m₁ = mass of the car = 1250 kg

m₂ = mass of the truck = 2020 kg

u₁ = initial speed of the car before collision = 17.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of the tuck before collision = ?

v₁ = final speed of the car after collision = 6.7 m/s

v₂ = final speed of the truck after collision = 10.3 m/s

Therefore,

$(1250\ kg)(17.4\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(u_2)=(1250\ kg)(6.7\ m/s)+(2020\ kg)(10.3\ m/s)\\\\(2020\ kg)(u_2) = 8375\ N.s + 20806\ N.s - 21750\ N.s\\\\u_2=\frac{7431\ N.s}{2020\ kg}$

<u>u₂ = 3.7 m/s</u>

I'm studying the equilibrium of forces so hard that I got confused for a sec. Is the force due to gravity included in summing up

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Yes, you would consider the mass × gravity at the centre of gravity of the object in question to cause a moment, hence it should be included in your resolution

A bird flies 3.6 km due west and then 1.8 km due north. Another bird flies 1.8 km due west and 3.6 km due north. What is the ang

kondor19780726 [428]

Define unit vectors as follows:
$\hat{i}$ is in the eastern direction.
$\hat{j}$ is in the northern direction.

The position of the first bird is
$\vec{a} = -3.6 \, \hat{i} + 1.8 \, \hat{j}$

The position of the second bird is
$\vec{b} = - 1.8 \, \hat{i} + 3.6 \, \hat{j}$

Let θ = the angle between the net displacement vector for the two birds.
By definition,
$\vec{a} . \vec{b} = |a| |b| cos\theta \\\\ \theta = cos^{-1} ( \frac{\vec{a}.\vec{b}}{|a||b|} )$

$\vec{a}.\vec{b} = (-3.6)(-1.8)+(3.6)(1.8) = 12.96$
$|a| = \sqrt{3.24+12.96} =4.025$
Similarly,
|b| = 4.025

Therefore
$\theta = cos^{-1} \frac{12.96}{4.025^{2}} =36.9^{o}$

Answer: 36.9°

If two planets are close enough to each other do they have a greater gravitational pull then two planets that are farther away?

guapka [62]

Yes because if they are further away it makes it hard for them to attract each other
