Answer:

a)  T = -22796.5 N,  b)  F = 3000 N

Explanation:

a) For this part we use Newton's second law

Let's set a reference frame with the x-axis in the direction of motion and the y-axis in the vertical direction.

We make a free-body diagram for each body,

the tractor has the bar force (T) and the push force (F) and the friction force (fr₁)

Y axis

        N₁ -W₁ = 0

        N₁ = M₁ g

X axis

        F - T - fr₁ = M₁ a

the Trailer has the bar force (T) and the friction force (fr₂)

Y axis  

      N₂ - W₂ = 0

      N₂ = m₂ g

X axis

     T - fr₂ = m₂ a

let's write the system of equations

      F - T - fr₁ = M₁ a          (1)

           T - fr₂ = m₂ a

we solve

       F - (fr₁ + fr₂) = (M₁ + m₂) a

indicate that the total friction forces are fr = 3000N

       fr = fr₁ + fr₂

         

        F =\frac{(M_1+m_2) a}{fr}

         

let's calculate

        F =\frac{(2000+1500) \ 3}{3000}

        F = 3.5 N

The friction force is

       fr = μ N

the norm of the system is N = N₁ + N₂

       μ = \frac{fr}{N_1 + N_2}

       μ = \frac{3000}{2000+1500}

       μ = 0.858

with this value we can find the friction force 1 and substitute in equation 1

       F - T - μ N₁ = M₁ a

       T = F - M₁ (a + μ g)

        T = 3.5 - 2000 (3 + 0.858  9.8)

        T = -22796.5 N

b) when the system moves with constant velocity the acceleration is zero

            F - T - fr₁ = 0

                  T - fr₂ = 0

we solve

           F + (fr₁ + fr₂) = 0

           F = fr₁ + fr₂

           F = 3000 N

Could I please get some help on this question I don’t understand .

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 8 m

Final velocity (v) at 8 m above the lowest point =?

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

The velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 8)

v² = 0 + 156.8

v² = 156.8

Take the square root of both side

v = √156.8

v = 12.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point is 12.5 m/s.

A person hits a tennis ball with a mass of 0.058 kg against a wall.
horrorfan [7]

Explanation:

Mass of the ball, m = 0.058 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 11 m/s

Final speed of the ball, v = -11 m/s (negative as it rebounds)

Time, t = 2.1 s

(a) Let F is the average force exerted on the wall. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}

F=\dfrac{0.058\times (11-(-11))}{2.1}

F = 0.607 N

(b) Area of wall, A=3\ m^2

Let P is the average pressure on that area. It is given by :

P=\dfrac{F}{A}

P=\dfrac{0.607\ N}{3\ m^2}

P = 0.202 Pa

Hence, this is the required solution.

How are the oscillating magnetic and electric fields of an electromagnetic wave positioned relative to each other?​
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves consist of both electric and magnetic field waves. These waves oscillate in perpendicular planes with respect to each other, and are in phase. The creation of all electromagnetic waves begins with an oscillating charged particle, which creates oscillating electric and magnetic fields.
