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 .

ki77a [65]
This is an example of conservation of angular momentum.

The ice skater will rotate more slowly because her arms would be considered the outside torque that is impacting her constant angular momentum.

So, an ice-skater who throws her arms out will rotate more slowly.

A dense metal sphere is dropped from a 10-meter tower, and at the exact same time an identical metal sphere is thrown horizontal
givi [52]

Answer:

A. Both spheres land at the same time.

Explanation:

The horizontal motion doesn't affect the vertical motion.  Since the two spheres have the same initial vertical velocity and same initial height, they land at the same time.

A rocket is moving at 1/4 the speed of light relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket a light suddenly flashes. To an obs
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

Explanation:

To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.

Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front  for the observer on the earth.
