Answer:

Opposite

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.

Action-reaction force pairs make it possible for fishes to swim, birds to fly, cars to move etc,

For example, while driving down the road, a firefly strikes the windshield of a car (Action) and makes a quite obvious mess in front of the face of the driver (Reaction) i.e the firefly hit the car and the car hits the firefly.

The ultimately implies that, in every interaction, there is a pair of equal but opposite forces acting on the two interacting physical objects.

Hence, whenever any physical object exerts a force (action) on another physical object, the second physical object exerts a force (reaction) of the same amount, but acting in opposite direction to that of the first physical object.

The figure shows two springs (k1 = 10 N/m and k2 = 20 N/m ) attached to a block that can slide on a frictionless surface. In the
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Energy stored by left spring when compressed = 1/2 k x²

= .5 x 10 x .02² = .002 J .

Let compression in right spring = y

energy stored to right spring = 1/2 k y²

1/2 k y² = 0.002

.5 x 20 x y² = 0.002

y = .01414 m

= 1.4  cm

3.27 moles of an ideal gas in a 50.0 L tank has a pressure of 171000 Pa. What is the temperature of the gas? (Unit=degrees C)
laiz [17]

The temperature of the gas is 41.3 °C.

Answer:

The temperature of the gas is 41.3 °C.

Explanation:

So on combining the Boyle's and Charles law, we get the ideal law of gas that is PV=nRT. Here P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is gas constant and T is the temperature. The SI unit of pressure is atm. So we need to convert 1 Pa to 1 atm, that is 1 Pa = 9.86923×10^{-6} atm. Thus, 171000 Pa = 1.6876 atm.

We know that the gas constant R = 0.0821 atmLMol–¹K-¹. Then the volume of the gas is given as 50 L and moles are given as 3.27 moles.

Then substituting all the values in ideal gas equation ,we get

1.6876×50=3.27×0.0821×T

Temperature = \frac{84.38}{0.268467} =314.3 K

So the temperature is obtained to be 314.3 K. As 0°C = 273 K,

Then 314.3 K = 314.3-273 °C=41.3 °C.

Thus, the temperature is 41.3 °C.

An unbalanced force gives a 2.00 kg mass an acceleration of 5.00 m/s? What is the force applied to the object?​
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

10N

Explanation:

Equation: ΣF = ma

Fapp = ma

Fapp = (2kg)(5m/s^2)    (im guessing you mean 5.00 m/s^2 not m/s)

Fapp = 10*kg*m/s^2

Fapp = 10N

A roller coaster car may be approximated by a block of mass m. Thecar, which starts from rest, is released at a height h above t
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.

mgh = mg2R + K\\K = mg(h-2R)

For the second part,

the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:

- weight in the downwards direction

- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction

The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.

F = ma = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg + N = \frac{mv^2}{R}

where N = 0 because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\v^2 = gR\\v = \sqrt{gR}

Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.

mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}m(gR)\\gh = g2R + \frac{1}{2}gR\\h = 2R + \frac{R}{2}\\h = \frac{5R}{2}

Explanation:

The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.

We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.

An 85.0 kg fisherman jumps from a dock at a speed of 4.30 m/s onto their 135.0 kg boat. If the boat was at rest to begin but mov
jeka94

Answer:

Final speed of boat + man is 1.66 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that there is no friction on the system or there is no external force on this system

So here we can use momentum conservation here

mv = (m + M)v_f

so we have

m = 85 kg

M = 135 kg

v = 4.30 m/s

now we have

85 \times 4.30 = (85 + 135) v

v = 1.66 m/s
