Explain how Newton’s second law of motion affects a game of Tug of War

2 answers:

8 0

Answer: Newton's second law of motion is F = ma or force is equal to the mass the reason this applies to Newton's third law is because When the game starts, both the sides are pulling the rope and neither side is moving. The force on the rope is the same on each side This is Newton's second law of motion which equates force as mass times acceleration.

Answer:

a force applied to an object at rest causes it to accelerate in the direction of the force

Explanation:

if you tug the rope it goes in your direction when the opposing team does so it goes in their direction. each team pulling on the rope is the force applied to it.

Den pushes a desk 400 cm across the floor. He exerts a force of 10 N for 8 s to move the desk.

stellarik [79]

Answer: The correct option is Option b.

Explanation:

Power is defined as the rate of work done by an object.

Mathematically,

$P=\frac{W}{t}$ .....(1)

And work done is the product of force exerted on the object times the displacement covered by that object.

Mathematically,

$W=F.s$

Putting this value in above equation, we get:

$P=\frac{F.s}{t}$

where,

P = power = ?W

F = Force exerted = 10N

s = Displacement = 400cm = 4m (Conversion factor: 1m = 100 cm)

t = Time taken = 8s

Putting values in above equation, we get

$P=\frac{10\times 4}{8}\\\\P=5W$

Hence, the correct option is Option b.

A motorcycle rider moving with an initial velocity of 9.2 m/s uniformly accelerates to a speed of 19.1 m/s in a distance of 32.0

Vlada [557]

Acceleration = (final velocity^2 - initial velocity^2) / 2 * distance

Acceleration = (19.1^2 - 9.2^2) / 2 * 32

Acceleration = (364.81 - 84.64) / 64

Acceleration = 280.17 / 64

Acceleration = 4.3777m/s^2

A steel ball rolls with a constant velocity on a tabletop 0.950 m high it rolls off and hit the ground 0.352 m from the edge of

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

0.799 m/s if air resistance is negligible.

Explanation:

For how long is the ball in the air?

Acceleration is constant. The change in the ball's height $\Delta h$ depends on the square of the time:

$\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t$ ,

where

$\Delta h$ is the change in the ball's height.
$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
$t$ is the time for which the ball is in the air.
$v_0$ is the initial vertical velocity of the ball.

The height of the ball decreases, so this value should be the opposite of the height of the table relative to the ground. $\Delta h = -0.950\;\text{m}$ .
Gravity pulls objects toward the earth, so $g$ is also negative. $g \approx -9.81\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-2}$ near the surface of the earth.
Assume that the table is flat. The vertical velocity of the ball will be zero until it falls off the edge. As a result, $v_0 = 0$ .

Solve for $t$ .

$\displaystyle \Delta h = \frac{1}{2} \;g\cdot t^{2} + v_0\cdot t$ ;

$\displaystyle -0.950 = \frac{1}{2} \times (-9.81) \cdot t^{2}$ ;

$\displaystyle t^{2} =\frac{-0.950}{1/2 \times (-9.81)}$ ;

$t \approx 0.440315\;\text{s}$ .

What's the initial horizontal velocity of the ball?

Horizontal displacement of the ball: $\Delta x = 0.352\;\text{m}$ ;
Time taken: $\Delta t = 0.440315\;\text{s}$

Assume that air resistance is negligible. Only gravity is acting on the ball when it falls from the tabletop. The horizontal velocity of the ball will not change while the ball is in the air. In other words, the ball will move away from the table at the same speed at which it rolls towards the edge.

$\begin{aligned}\text{Rolling Velocity}&=\text{Horizontal Velocity} \\&= \text{Average Horizontal Velocity}\\ &=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}=\frac{0.352\;\text{m}}{0.440315\;\text{s}}=0.0799\;\text{m}\cdot\text{s}^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

Both values from the question come with 3 significant figures. Keep more significant figures than that during the calculation and round the final result to the same number of significant figures.

Jack tries to place magnets on his refrigerator at home, but they won’t stick. What could be the reason?

saul85 [17]

The most probable reason why the magnets won't stick on the refrigerator is that the body of the refrigerator and the magnets have like poles. If both have negative or both have positive poles facing each other, they will repel. In principle, magnets are attracted to opposite poles and like poles repel.
