Answer:

Explanation:

If two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force is equal to the sum of the two forces.

State the 3 laws of motion

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion:

An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, until acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Newton's second law:

The net force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration.

Newton's third law:

For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction.

34. A train, starting from rest, accelerates along the platform at a uniform rate of 0.6 m/s2. A passenger standing on the platf

ira [324]

Answer:

4.08 s

Explanation:

Let the passenger took "t" time to catch the train

so in this case the total distance moved by the train + 5 m = total distance moved by the passenger

so we will have

distance moved by train is given as

$d_1 = \frac{1}{2}(0.6) t^2$

also the distance moved by passenger

$d_2 = \frac{1}{2}(1.2) t^2$

so we will have

$d_1 + 5 = d_2$

$0.3 t^2 + 5 = 0.6 t^2$

$0.3 t^2 = 5$

t = 4.08 s

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 19 m lower vert

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 39000 kg

Height of the car, h = 19 m

Spring constant of the spring, $k=4.2\times 10^5\ N/m$

We need to find the compression in the spring in stopping the ore car. It can be done by balancing loss in gravitational potential energy and the increase in elastic energy. So,

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2$

x is the compression in spring

$x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2mgh}{k}} \\\\x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000\times 19\times 9.8}{4.2\times 10^5}} \\\\x=5.88\ m$

So, the compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.

An automatic dryer spins wet clothes at an angular speed of 5.2 rad/s. Starting from rest, the dryer reaches its operating speed

Dvinal [7]

<h2>Time taken by dryer to come up to speed is 1.625 seconds.</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

Initial velocity, u = 0 rad/s

Final velocity, v = 5.2 rad/s

Time, t = ?

Acceleration, a = 3.2 rad/s²

Substituting

v = u + at

5.2 = 0 + 3.2 x t

t = 1.625 s

Time taken by dryer to come up to speed is 1.625 seconds.
