Suppose two children push horizontally, but in exactly opposite directions, on a third child in a wagon. The first child exerts

a force of 75.0N, the second child exerts a force of 90.0 N, friction is 12.0 N, and the most of the third child plus wagon is 23.0 kga)what is the system of interest if the acceleration of the child in the wagon is to be calculated

Answer:

Explanation:

75 N and 90 N are acting in opposite direction so net force = 90 - 75 = 15 N .

Friction force will act in the direction opposite to the direction of net force .

So friction force will act in the direction in which 75 N is acting .

Total force acting in the direction of 75 = 75 + 12 = 87 N

Net force acing on the third child = 90 - 87 = 3 N

Its direction will be that in the direction of 90 N .

A mass m is tied to an ideal spring with force constant k and rests on a frictionless surface. The mass moves along the x axis.

7nadin3 [17]

Answer: $x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}$

Explanation:

Given

initially mass is stretched to $x_m$

Let k be the spring Constant of spring

Therefore Total Mechanical Energy is $\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

Position at which kinetic Energy is equal to Elastic Potential Energy

$K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

$U=\frac{kx^2}{2}$

it is given

$k=U$

thus $2U=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

$2\times \frac{kx^2}{2}=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}$

$2x^2=x_m^2$

$x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}$

A 0.58 kg mass is moving horizontally with a speed of 6.0 m/s when it strikes a vertical wall. The mass rebounds with a speed of

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$5.8\; {\rm kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Explanation:

If the mass of an object is $m$ and the velocity of that object is $v$ , the linear momentum of that object would be $m\, v$ .

Assume that the initial velocity of the mass is positive ( $6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ .) However, the direction of the velocity is reversed after the impact. Thus, the sign of the new velocity of the object would be negative- the opposite of that of the initial velocity. The new velocity would be $(-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})$ .

Thus, the change in the velocity of the mass would be:

$\begin{aligned}& (\text{Change in Velocity}) \\ =\; & (\text{Final Velocity}) - (\text{Initial Velocity}) \\ =\; & (-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - (6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ =\; & (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1})\end{aligned}$ .

The change in the linear momentum of the mass would be:

$\begin{aligned} & \text{change in momentum} \\ =\; & (\text{mass}) \times (\text{change in velocity}) \\ =\; & 0.58\; {\rm kg} \times (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ =\; & (-5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}})\end{aligned}$ .

Thus, the magnitude of the change of the linear momentum would be $5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

A 100 V battery is connected across a

Sergio039 [100]

1 mA = 0.001 A

Therefore, 5 mA = 0.001 * 5

=0.005 A

Resistance = voltage / current

= 100 / 0.005

= 20000 ohms

Current = voltage / resistance

= 25 / 20000

= 0.00125 A (or) 1.25 mA

A 24.0 cm long screwdriver is used as a lever to open a can of paint. If the fulcrum is 0.500 cm away from the end of the screwd

ELEN [110]

The ideal mechanical advantage of the screwdriver is 47

Explanation:

In this problem, the screwdriver acts as a lever.

The Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA) of a lever is given by:

$IMA=\frac{d_i}{d_o}$

where:

$d_i$ is the distance of the point of application of the input force from the fulcrum

$d_o$ is the distance of the output force from the fulcrum

In this problem, we have:

$d_o = 0.500 cm$ , since the fulcrum is 0.500 cm from the end

$d_i = 24.0 cm - 0.500 cm = 23.5 cm$ (the distance between the fulcrum and the point where are we holding the screwdriver)

Substutiting,

$IMA=\frac{23.50 cm}{0.50 cm}=47$
