Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

From the question we have

$a = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2} \\ = 0.5$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Two balls are thrown against a wall. Ball 1 has a much higher speed than ball 2.

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Let both the balls have the same mass equals to m.

Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ be the speed of the ball1 and the ball2 respectively, such that

$v_1>v_2\;\cdots(i)$

Assuming that both the balls are at the same level with respect to the ground, so let h be the height from the ground.

The total energy of ball1= Kinetic energy of ball1 + Potential energy of ball1. The Kinetic energy of any object moving with speed, $v$ , is $\frac 12 m v^2$

and the potential energy is due to the change in height is $mgh$ [where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity]

So, the total energy of ball1,

$=\frac 12 m v_1^2 + mgh\;\cdots(ii)$

and the total energy of ball1,

$=\frac 12 m v_2^2 + mgh\;\cdots(iii)$ .

Here, the potential energy for both the balls are the same, but the kinetic energy of the ball1 is higher the ball2 as the ball1 have the higher speed, refer equation (i)

So, $\frac 12 m v_1^2 >\frac 12 m v_2^2$

Now, from equations (ii) and (iii)

The total energy of ball1 hi higher than the total energy of ball2.

An open-topped freight car with mass 24,000 kg is coasting without friction along a level track. It is raining very hard, and th

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

(a) v = 3..6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

Explanation:

from the question we have the following:

mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg

initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s

mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg

final velocity of the car (v) = ?

(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where

initial momentum = final momentum

Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V

24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v

96,000 = 27000v

v =3.6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

To span the distance between two switches, why is adding an intermediate switch not an attractive choice

navik [9.2K]

Adding an intermediate switch is not an attractive choice to span the distance between two switches due to expense issues. It may have different ports.

<h3>What is a network switch?</h3>

A switch refers to a hardware tool capable of connecting different computer devices in a network.

A network switch can connect devices on a network by centralizing communications among many devices in a given local area network.

A switch may support different speeds for transmission of data (for example, one gigabit Gbps per second).
