Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity where the object is)

You didn't tell us WHERE the boulder is, so I have to assume that it's on Mars, where the acceleration of gravity is 3.71 m/s².

675,000 N = (mass) (3.71 m/s²)

Mass = (675,000 N) / (3.71 m/s²)

<em>Mass = 181,941 kilograms</em>

The same weight on Earth would suggest a mass of only 68,807 kg, so you can see how important it is to know where you are when you make your measurements.

1. Apply a constant force of 50 N directed to the right of the 50 kg Box. (2 pts)

kotegsom [21]

As the box is moving with a constant velocity, the two forces acting on the box are canceling each other.

Then friction force = 80 Newtons but in the opposite direction.

Friction force = Mu * Normal force exerted by ground = Mu * weight of box

So we find Mu.

Mu = coefficient of friction between box and horizontal surface

= Force of friction / weight = 80 / 50 * 9.81 = 0.163

When an identical box is placed on top, the force of friction is

= Mu * total weight = 0.163 * (50+50) * 9.81 = 159.9 Newtons

Find the distance traveled by a particle with position (x, y) as t varies in the given time interval. x = 2 sin2(t), y = 2 cos2(

Tanya [424]

The distance traveled by the particle at the given time interval is 0.28 m.

<h3>Position of the particle at time, t = 0</h3>

The position of the particle at the given time is calculated as follows;

x = 2 sin2(t)

y = 2 cos2(t)

x(0) = 2 sin2(0) = 0

y(0) = 2 cos2(0) = 2(1) = 2

<h3>Position of the particle at time, t = 4</h3>

x = 2 sin2(t)

y = 2 cos2(t)

x(4) = 2 sin2(4) = 0.28

y(4) = 2 cos2(4) = 2(1) = 1.98

<h3>Distance traveled by the particle at the given time interval</h3>

d = √[(x₄ - x₀)² + (y₄ - y₀)²]

d = √[(0.28 - 0)² + (1.98 - 2)²]

d = 0.28 m

Thus, the distance traveled by the particle at the given time interval is 0.28 m.

A small car has a head-on collision with a large truck. Which of the following statements concerning the magnitude of the averag

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The small car and the truck experience the same average force.

Explanation:

Here we need to remember two of Newton's laws.

The second one says that:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

And the third one says that;

"If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A"

From the third law, if the car experiences a force F due to the impact with the truck, then the truck experiences the same force F due to the impact.

But this seems odd, because we would expect to see the car being more affected by the impact, right?

Well, this is explained by the second law.

Suppose that the mass of the car is m, and the mass of the truck is M.

such that M > m

Then for the small car we have:

F = m*a

And for the truck:

F = M*a'

Because the force is the same for both of them, we can write:

m*a = M*a'

a = (M/m)*a'

because M > m, then M/m > 1.

This means that the acceleration that the car experiences is larger than the acceleration for the truck, and this is why we would see that the car seems more affected by the impact, regardless of the fact that both vehicles experience the same force in the impact.

A spectral line from a star is observed to have a wavelength of 656.5 nm. The rest wavelength of this line is 656.8 nm. (a) What

nignag [31]

Answer:

speed of star is 1.37 × $10^{5}$ m/s

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

Explanation:

given data

wavelength = 656.5 nm

rest wavelength = 656.8 nm

to find out

the speed of the star , is it approaching

solution

we know here equation that is

wavelength shift / wavelength at rest = velocity of source / speed of light

so put all value and find

velocity of source = 3 × $10^{-9}$ × 3 × $10^{8}$ / 656.8 × $10^{-9}$

velocity of source star = 1.37 × $10^{5}$ m/s

and

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

and

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth
