Nikitich [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Plastic or rubber are regarded as an insulator, and an insulator does not allow the flow of electric current through them, so the handles of screwdrivers as well as pliers that electricians use in repairing is been covered with plastic or rubber so that electric current is prevented to pass through it to the body of electricians to avoid been electrocuted as well as shock.

A 2,000 kg car starts from rest and coasts down from the top of a 5.00 m long driveway that is sloped at an angel of 20o with th
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The speed at the bottom of the driveway is3.67m/s.

Explanation:

Height,h= 5sin20°= 1.71m

Potential energy PE=mgh= 2000×9.8×1.71

PE= 33516J

KE= PE- Fk ×d

0.5mv^2= 33516 - (4000×5)

0.5×2000v^2= 33516 - 20000

1000v^2= 13516

v^2= 13516/1000

v =sqrt 13.516

v =3.67m/s

1. (15 points) Small cart is rolling down an inclined track and accelerating. It fires a ball straight out of the cannon as it m
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This problem can be solved with the conservation of the momentum.

If the ball is fired upward, the momentum before and after the ball is fired must conserve. Hence, the speed of the ball is the same that the speed of the car just in the moment in wich the ball is fired.

Hence, the result depends of the acceleration of the car. If the change in the speed is higher than the speed of the ball, it is probably that the ball will be behind the car or it will come back to the car.

If the ball is fired forward, and if the change in the speed of the car is not enogh, the ball will be in front of the car.

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
