Answer:

On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects. At Earth's surface the acceleration of gravity is about 9.8 metres (32 feet) per second per second.

a car travelling at 50km/h from rest covers a distance of 10km in 40minutes. Calculate the acceleration

Margarita [4]

Answer:

$9.67\cdot 10^{-3}m/s^2$

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the following suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

For the car in this problem:

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

$v=50 km/h \cdot \frac{1000}{3600}=13.9 m/s$ is the final velocity

s = 10 km = 10 000 m is the displacement

Solving for a, we find:

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{13.9^2}{2(10000)}=9.67\cdot 10^{-3}m/s^2$

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.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion :

The Force acting on an Object is equal to Product of Mass of the Object and Acceleration produced due to the Force.

$:\implies$ Force acting = Mass of the Object × Acceleration

Given : Force = 50 newton and Mass of the Object = 10 kg

Substituting the respective values in the Formula, we get :

$:\implies$ 50 N = 10 kg × Acceleration

$:\implies \mathsf{Acceleration = \dfrac{50\;N}{10\;kg}}$

$:\implies$ Acceleration of the Object = 5 m/s²
