Answer:

The inner planets are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. The outer planets are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas. The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus , Earth and Mars.

If a 100-N net force acts on a 50-kg car, what will the acceleration of the car be?

Tema [17]

Newton's 2nd law of motion:

   Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (mass):

   Acceleration = (force) / (mass)

   = (100 N) / (50 kg)

   = 2 m/s²

Here, mA = 3.65 kg and mB = 7.05 kg. The string connecting the two objects is of negligible mass and the pulley is frictionless.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The magintude of the acceleration for both objects is $3.11m/s^2$

Explanation:

Drawing a free body diagram on the two boxes we can analyze the system more easily.

we can take the acceleration going up as positive for reference purposes.

for mA let's suppose that is ascending so:

$T_A-m_A*g=m_A*a$

and for mB (descending):

$T_B-m_B*g=-m_B*a$

$T_A=T_B$

because the two boxes has the same acceleration because they are attached together:

$m_B*g-m_B*a-m_a*g=m_a*a\\(m_B-m_A)*g=(m_a+m_B)*a\\a=\frac{(7.05kg-3.65kg)*9.8m/s^2}{3.65kg+7.05kg}\\\\a=3.11m/s^2$

So the magintude of the acceleration for both objects is $3.11m/s^2$

A truck travels up a hill with a 5.7° incline. The truck has a constant speed of 22 m/s. What is the horizontal component of the

tester [92]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

Notice that the vector v and its x and y-components (vx and vy) form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to find the magnitude of vx, the horizontal component of the velocity.

To find vx, let´s use the following trigonometric rule of right triangles:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 5.7° = vx / 22 m/s

22 m/s · cos 5.7° = vx

vx = 21.9 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.
