For 3 kg mass: F = $\lpha ma,a$ = $\frac{F}{m}$ = $\frac{12N}{3kg}$ = 4 $\lpha m$ / $s^{2}$

For 6 kg mass: F = $\lpha ma,a$ = $\frac{F}{m}$ = $\frac{12N}{6kg}$ = 2 $\lpha m$ / $s^{2}$

Hope this helped, have a great day!~

A ball falling through the air has what?

AysviL [449]

A ball falling through the air has a mass, a density, a volume...it is facing air resistance and is being acted on by gravity...it is accelerating and gaining velocity...and it is increasing in kinetic energy.
I suppose out of all those the biggest thing the ball has in this case is ENERGY. There are two main types to focus on...

Kinetic Energy - The further the ball fall the more KE it has...until terminal velocity is reach, then KE would become constant.
Potential Energy - Conversely to that of KE, the further the ball falls the less PE it will have.

Heat/Thermal Energy is technically also present due to the friction from the air resistance, but the transfer of energy between the air and ball is quite complex and not necessary important for basic physics.

The question itself seem kind of vague and open ended, but I could just be viewing it the wrong way.
Comment if you need more help!

Two trains are traveling on the same track and in the same direction. The first train, which is behind the second train, blows a

Andrews [41]

Answer:

37.545 m/s

Explanation:

f' = Actual frequency of horn = 269 Hz

f = Observed frequency of horn = 290 Hz

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

$v_0$ = Speed of second train = 13.7 m/s

$v_s$ = Speed of first train

From Doppler effect we have

$f=f'\dfrac{v-v_0}{v-v_s}\\\Rightarrow v_s=v-\dfrac{f'}{f}(v-v_0)\\\Rightarrow v_s=343-\dfrac{269}{290}(343-13.7)\\\Rightarrow v_s=37.545\ m/s$

The speed of the first train is 37.545 m/s

A car is moving with a constant velocity of 25 m/s. Which of the following is true?

S_A_V [24]

b) the net force on the car is zero.

Explanation:

Let's analyze each option one by one:

a) the force from the engine is greater than all the forces of friction. --> FALSE. In fact, the car is moving at constant velocity: this means that its acceleration is zero,

a = 0

and so Newton's second law becomes

$\sum F = ma = 0$

where $\sum F$ is the net force on the car and m is its mass. This means that the net force on the car is zero: so, the force from the engine cannot be greater than all the forces of friction, otherwise the net force cannot be zero.

b) the net force on the car is zero. --> TRUE, for what we said at point A)

c) the inertia is changing. --> FALSE. The inertia of an object just depend on the mass and the velocity of the object: as neither the mass nor the velocity are changing in this problem, then the inertia of the car is not changing.

d) the forces of friction are proportional to the acceleration of the car. --> FALSE. Generally, the force of friction acting on an object moving on a flat surface is

$F_f = \mu mg$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction, m is the mass, and g the acceleration of gravity. Therefore, the force of friction does not depend on the acceleration of the car.
