Answer:

The force exerted by X on Y is F to the right, and the force exerted by Yon X is F to the left.

Explanation:

There are two objects X and Y. Mass of object X is 2M, that is moving with a speed of 2v_o and that of object Y is M that is moving with a speed of v_o.

When both of the objects collide, the magnitude of the forces F the objects exert on each other is equal to :

The force exerted by X on Y is F to the right, and the force exerted by Yon X is F to the left using Newton's third law of motion. Hence, the correct option is (c).

9. A 5.0 kg block on an inclined plane is acted upon by a horizontal force of 100 N shown in the figure below. The coefficient o
Helga [31]

Answer:

A: The acceleration is 7.7 m/s up the inclined plane.

B: It will take the block 0.36 seconds to move 0.5 meters up along the inclined plane

Explanation:

Let us work with variables and set

m=5kg\\\\F_H=100N\\\\\mu=0.3\\\\\theta=37^o.

As shown in the attached free body diagram, we choose our coordinates such that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular. We do this because it greatly simplifies our calculations.

Part A:

From the free body diagram we see that the total force along the x-axis is:

F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+F_s-F_Hcos(\theta).

Now the force of friction is F_s=\mu*N, where N is the normal force and from the diagram it is F_y=mg*cos(\theta).

Thus F_s=\mu*N=\mu*mg*cos(\theta).

Therefore,

F_{tot}=mg*sin(\theta)+\mu*mg*cos(\theta)-F_Hcos(\theta)\\\\=mg(sin(\theta)+\mu*cos(\theta))-F_Hcos(\theta).

Substituting the value for F_H,m,\mu, and \:\theta we get:

F_{tot}= -38.63N.

Now acceleration is simply

a=\frac{F_H}{m} =\frac{-38.63N}{5kg} =-7.7m/s.

The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed up the incline.

Part B:

d=\frac{1}{2} at^2

Which can be rearranged to solve for t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a} }

Substitute the value of d=0.50m and a=7.7m/s and we get:

t=0.36s.

which is our answer.

Notice that in using the formula to calculate time we used the positive value of a, because for this formula absolute value is needed.

Communication with submerged submarines via radio waves is difficult because seawater is conductive and absorbs electromagnetic
REY [17]

Answer:

\lambda=4000\ km

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency for submarine communications, f = 76 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of those extremely low-frequency waves. the relation between the wavelength and the frequency is given by :

c=f\times \lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{76\ Hz}

\lambda=3947368.42\ m

\lambda=3947\ km

or

\lambda=4000\ km

So, the wavelength of those extremely low-frequency waves is 4000 km. Hence, this is the required solution.

Vector A with arrow lies in the xy plane. Both of its components will be negative if it points from the origin into which quadra
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that a vector on the x and y plane face their negative axis

Generally  in the x and y plane thr negative y axis is made to face down opposite the positive y axis

Whilst the negative x axis faces the left which is also alternate to the positive x axis

Generally A vector pointing towards the x and y negative axis fro  the origin (0) will definitely be in the third quadrant

A robot probe drops a camera off the rim of a 239 m high cliff on mars, where the free-fall acceleration is −3.7 m/s2 .
ira [324]
<span>a. We can find the velocity when the camera hits the ground. v^2 = (v0)^2 + 2ay = 0 + 2ay v = sqrt{ 2ay } v = sqrt{ (2)(3.7 m/s^2)(239 m) } v = 42 m/s The camera hits the ground with a velocity of 42 m/s b. We can find the time it takes for the camera to hit the ground. y = (1/2) a t^2 t^2 = 2y / a t = sqrt{ 2y / a } t = sqrt{ (2)(239 m) / 3.7 m/s^2 } t = 11.4 seconds
       
It takes 11.4 seconds for the camera to hit the ground.</span>

A wire with a current of 1.31 A is to be formed into a circular loop of one turn. If the required value of the magnetic field at
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The required radius is 2.62 cm

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of current in wire, I = 1.31 A

magnetic field strength, B =  10 µT

Applying Biot Savart equation;

B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r} \\\\r =  \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi B}

where;

r is the radius of the wire

μ₀ is constant = 4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A

I is the current in the wire

B is the magnetic field strength

Substitute the given values and calculate the radius

r =  \frac{4 \pi *10^{-7} *1.31}{2\pi *10 *10^{-6}} = 2.62 *10^{-2} \ m = 2.62 \ cm

Therefore, the required radius is 2.62 cm
