It typically take longer for a heavier object to slow down therefor, a train will take more time. <span />

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A train will take longer time to stop compared to a car.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • For a body in motion to stop a braking force at a given distance is required for the body to loose kinetic energy.
  • The the stopping distance of a car depends on the breaking force and the  the mass of the moving body. The stopping distance will depend on the kinetic energy and the breaking force acting to stop the motion of  a body.
  • <em><u>The mass of a moving body determines its kinetic energy, and also determines the resultant force according to the newton seconds law of motion . Therefore, mass determines the breaking force and the stopping distance, such that a big body in motion will require more force to stop and will take a longer stopping distance and time.</u></em>

Could you please explain to me Newton's second law of motion? Please I don't get it :/
MissTica

Answer:

Newton's second law states that when a body of mass m is accelerated with force f

then F=ma

this means acceleration of an object depends on both force with which it is moving as well as its mass

Problem 4: a long wire carries current towards east. a positive charge moves westward and just north from the wire. what is the
Alex787 [66]
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.

We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)

Provided the amplitude is sufficiently great, the human ear can respond to longitudinal waves over a range of frequencies from a
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The beat frequency is

df = f2 - f1

the wavelength is

lamda1 = (v/f1)

and lamda2 = (v/f2)

where v = 340 m/s,f1 = 25.0 kHz and f2 = 20.0 kHz

The Cassegrain design provides more compact (shorter) telescopes. Why? (Examine figures 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). The shorter design is
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Because the light reflects multiple times until it gets to the Cassegrain focus.

Explanation:

The Cassegrain design can be seen in a reflecting telescope. In this type of design the light is collected by a concave mirror, and then intercepted by a secondary convex mirror, and sends it down to a central opening in the primary mirror (concave mirror), in which a detector is placed (Cassegrain focus)

Since, the light is reflected many times due to Cassegrain design, that leads to shorter telescopes.
