A child is sliding on a sled at 1.6m/s to the right. You stop the sled by pushing on it for 0.60s in a direction opposite to its

motion. If the mass of the child and sled is 37kg , what is the magnitude of the average force you need to apply to stop the sled

Answer:

F = 98.67 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of the sled, u = 1.6 m/s

The mass of the child and the sled is 37 kg

The sled stops pushing on it for 0.60s in a direction opposite to its motion.

We need to find the magnitude of the average force you need to apply to stop the sled.

Impulse = change in momentum

We have, v = 0

Ft=m(v-u)\\\\F=\dfrac{-mu}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{-37\times 1.6}{0.6}\\\\F=-98.67\ N

So, the magnitude of the average force is 98.67 N.

The quartz crystal used in an electric watch vibrates with a frequency of 32,768 Hz. What is the period of the crystal's motion?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Time period, T=3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s

Explanation:

Given that,

The quartz crystal used in an electric watch vibrates with a frequency of 32,768 Hz, f = 32768 Hz

We need to find the period of the crystal's motion. The relationship between the frequency and the time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}

T is the time period of the crystal's motion.

Time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{32768}

T=3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s

So, the time period of the crystal's motion is 3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A car with a mass of 1.1 × 103 kilograms hits a stationary truck with a mass of 2.3 × 103 kilograms from the rear end. The initi
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s            

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car, m_1=1.1\times 10^3\ kg

Mass of the truck, m_2=2.3\times 10^3\ kg

Initial velocity of the car, u_1=22\ m/s

Initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 0

After the collision the velocity of the car is, v₁ = -11 m/s

Let v₂ is the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

1.1\times 10^3\times 22+0=1.1\times 10^3\times (11)+2.3\times 10^3\times v_2    

v_2=15.7\ m/s

So, the velocity of the truck after this elastic collision is 15.7 m/s. Hence, the correct option is (c).

Both the moon and the sun influence the tides on Earth. The moon has a much greater influence though. Why is that
3241004551 [841]
Because even though the moon is smaller, therefore a weaker gravitational pull, the moon is much closer to the earth than the sun, thus having a greater gravitational pull
