Minivan hits the ground first than tricycle due to heavier mass and lesser air resistance.

Explanation:

According to Galileo's motion of objects, when two objects having different masses and areas dropped from same height does not hit the ground at the same time.

it's because the air offers much greater resistance to the falling motion of the lighter object than it does to the heavier one. The air is actually an upward force of friction, acting against gravity and slowing down the rate at which the tricycle falls.

Due to this when a minivan or tricycle when dropped from same height hits the ground at different times. As friction of air offers greater resistance to tricycle. Since minivan is heavier there will be lesser impact of air on it. So, minivan hits the ground first than tricycle.

Ok plz answer and tell me how to do it

Answer: 25N

method: total force in the right hand direction is 100N and total force in the left hand direction is 125N. To get the net force, we add forces if they are in the same direction and substract if they are in opposite directions. since 100N and 125N are in opposite directions, we substract the larger value from the smaller value. Then we get 25N in the left hand direction as the final answer.

What is the product of an object’s mass and velocity? momentum net force kinetic energy

kaheart [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is momentum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity.

It is a term which describes the relationship between the mass of an object and the velocity of an object.

Momentum can be represented in the form of an equation as:

P = mv

where P is the momentum,

m is the mass of the object; and v is the velocity of that object.

uniform disk with mass 40.0 kg and radius 0.200 m is pivoted at its center about a horizontal, frictionless axle that is station

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tangential velocity is $v= 0.868 m/s$

The magnitude of the resultant acceleration at that point is $a = 4.057 m/s^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the uniform disk is $m_d = 40.0kg$

The radius of the uniform disk is $R_d = 0.200m$

The force applied on the disk is $F_d = 30.0N$

Generally the angular speed i mathematically represented as

$w = \sqrt{2 \alpha \theta}$

Where $\theta$ is the angular displacement given from the question as

$\theta = 0.2000 rev = 0.2000 rev * \frac{2 \pi \ rad }{1 rev}$

$=1.257\ rad$

$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration which is mathematically represented as

$\alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of \ inertia} = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}$

The moment of inertial is mathematically represented as

$I = \frac{1}{2} m_dR^2_d$

Substituting values

$I = 0.5 * 40 * 0.200^2$

$= 0.8kg \cdot m^2$

Considering the equation for angular acceleration

$\alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of \ inertia} = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}$

Substituting values

$\alph$ $\alpha = \frac{(30.0)(0.200)}{0.8}$

$= 7.5 rad/s^2$

Considering the equation for angular velocity

$w = \sqrt{2 \alpha \theta}$

Substituting values

$w =\sqrt{2 * (7.5) * 1.257}$

$= 4.34 \ rad/s$

The tangential velocity of a given point on the rim is mathematically represented as

$v = R_d w$

Substituting values

$= (0.200)(4.34)$

$v= 0.868 m/s$

The radial acceleration at hat point is mathematically represented as

$\alpha_r = \frac{v^2}{R}$

$= \frac{0.868^2}{0.200^2}$

$= 3.7699 \ m/s^2$

The tangential acceleration at that point is mathematically represented as

$\alpha _t = R \alpha$

Substituting values

$\alpha _t = (0.200) (7.5)$

$= 1.5 m/s^2$

The magnitude of resultant acceleration at that point is

$a = \sqrt{\alpha_r ^2+ \alpha_t^2 }$

Substituting values

$a = \sqrt{(3.7699)^2 + (1.5)^2}$

$a = 4.057 m/s^2$
