Answer:

We cannot tell from the information given

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 5 kg

first force, F₁ = 10 N

second force, F₂ = 5 N

(I) Assuming the two forces are acting horizontally in opposite direction, the resultant force on the box is calculated as;

∑Fx = 10 N - 5 N

      = 5 N

Apply Newton's second law of motion;

∑Fx = ma

a = ∑Fx/m

a = 5 / 5

a = 1 m/s² in the direction of the 10 N force.

(II) Also, if the two forces are acting in the same direction, the resultant force is calculated as;

∑Fx = 10 N + 5 N

∑Fx = 15 N

a = 15 / 5

a = 3 m/s²

Therefore, the information given is not enough to determine the acceleration of the box.

Three 4 cm thick and 10 cm wide boards are connected together by two parallel rows of uniformly distributed nails separated by l
kherson [118]

Answer:

The largest longitude separation is 3.6 cm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Thickness\bar{y}= 4\ cm

Wide = 10 cm

Vertical shear = 1000 N

Shearing force = 200 N

We need to calculate the shear flow

Using formula of shear flow

q=\dfrac{VQ}{I}

Where, q = shear flow

V = shear force

Q = \bar{y}\times A

Where, A = area of cross section

\bar{y} =distance from natural axis to centroid of A

I = moment of inertia

We need to calculate the Area

Using formula of area

A=4\times10=40 cm^2

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

I=\dfrac{bd^3}{12}

I=\dfrac{10\times12^3}{12}

I=1440\ cm^4

Put the value into the formula of shear flow

q=\dfrac{1000\times40\times4}{1440}

q=111.11\ N/cm

We need to calculate the largest longitude separation

Using formula of separation

q=\dfrac{F}{\delta}

Put the value into the formula

111.11=\dfrac{2\times200}{\delta}

\delta=\dfrac{2\times200}{111.11}

\delta=3.6\ cm

Hence, The largest longitude separation is 3.6 cm.

What does an alpha particle consist of?
Tamiku [17]
An alpha particle is like a Helium atom. And Helium has an atomic number of 2 and mass number or 4.

Mass Number =4,
Atomic Number = 2, for a Neutral Atom, Atomic Number = Number of Proton = 2

Mass Number = Proton + Neutron.

4 = 2 + Neutron

Neutron = 4 -2 = 2

Hence alpha particle has 2 Protons and 2 Neutrons. Option C.

A ball collides with a vertical, unmovable wall. There is no friction between the wall and the ball (the only force acting on th
user100 [1]

Answer: the same direction I.e to the left.

Explanation:

The component perpendicular to the contact surface is such that will stop the relative motion and, in case of elastic collision like here, return the system to the same kinetic energy. So ball hitting immovable surface will have the same speed (magnitude of velocity) as before the collision.

There will also be parallel force caused by friction, but it has to be treated separately for two reasons:

The perpendicular force is limited to coefficient of friction times the normal force. If that is not enough to stop the ball, it will skid on the surface.The perpendicular force, and this depends on the specific geometry, does not pass through the centre of mass of the ball. Therefore it imparts a moment on the ball that causes it to start rotating. And once the ball is rotating so that the point of contact is stationary, there is no momentum to cause any friction force anymore and the friction force disappears and stops decelerating the ball.

So what happens is that the vertical component of the velocity will be reversed, while the horizontal component will be somewhat reduced with the corresponding amount of kinetic energy transferred to energy of rotation. The rotation will always eliminate the friction force before the horizontal component of velocity is zeroed, so the ball will always continue in the same direction, just a bit slower.

If you instead threw an elastic box (which could not start rotating freely) it could actually bounce back.
