The longer you spend reading and thinking about this question,
the more defective it appears.
-- In each case, the amount of work done is determined by the strength
of
the force AND by the distance the skateboard rolls <em><u>while you're still
</u></em>
<em><u>applying the force</u>. </em>Without some more or different information, the total
distance the skateboard rolls may or may not tell how much work was done
to it.<em>
</em>
-- We know that the forces are equal, but we don't know anything about
how far each one rolled <em>while the force continued</em>. All we know is that
one force must have been removed.
-- If one skateboard moves a few feet and comes to a stop, then you
must have stopped pushing it at some time before it stopped, otherwise
it would have kept going.
-- How far did that one roll while you were still pushing it ?
-- Did you also stop pushing the other skateboard at some point, or
did you stick with that one?
-- Did each skateboard both roll the same distance while you continued pushing it ?
I don't think we know enough about the experimental set-up and methods
to decide which skateboard had more work done to it.
<h2>Answer: electrostatic and gravitational force
</h2><h2 />
Mechanical energy remains constant (conserved) if only <u>conservative forces</u> act on the particles.
In this sense, the following forces are conservative:
-Gravitational
-Elastic
-Electrostatics
While the Friction Force and the Magnetic Force are not conservative.
According to this, mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of electrostatic and gravitational forces.
Answer:
<em>Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration</em>
Explanation:
<u>Accelerated Motion</u>
Both the velocity and acceleration are vectors because they have magnitude and direction. When the motion is restricted to one dimension, i.e. left-right or up-down, the direction is marked with the sign according to some preset reference.
The locomotive is moving at a certain speed with a (so far) unknown sign but the acceleration has a negative sign. Since the locomotive comes to a complete stop it means the velocity and the acceleration are of opposite signs.
Thus the velocity is positive.
Answer: positive velocity & negative acceleration
Answer:
9.3m/s
Explanation:
Based on the law of conservation of momentum
Sum of momentum before collision = sum of momentum after collision
m1u1 +m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2
m1 = 8kg
u1 = 15.4m/s
m2 = 10kg
u2 = 0m/s(at rest)
v1 = 3.9m/s
Required
v2.
Substitute
8(15.4)+10(0) = 8(3.9)+10v2
123.2=31.2+10v2
123.2-31.2 = 10v2
92 = 10v2
v2 = 92/10
v2 = 9.2m/s
Hence the velocity of the 10.0 kg object after the collision is 9.2m/s
