Which has a greater force: a semi-truck at rest or a moving bicycle?

2 answers:

8 0

Although the semi truck certainly has a larger mass, it is not in motion and therefore does not have any momentum. The bicycle however has both mass and velocity and therefore has the larger momentum of the pair.

A 39.3 g glass thermometer reads 22.0oC before it

ratelena [41]

Answer:

44.85C

Explanation:

Let the specific heat of glass thermometer be 0.84 J/g°C

Let the specific heat of water be 4.186 j/g °C

Let the water density be 1kg/L

136 mL of water = 0.136L of water = 0.136 kg of water = 136 g of water

Since the change of temperature on the glass thermometer is 43.6 - 22 = 21.6 C. We can then calculate the heat energy absorbed to it:

$E = m_gc_g \Delta T = 39.3 * 0.84 * 21.6 = 713.06 J$

Assume no energy is lost to outside, by the law of energy conservation, this heat energy would come from water

$E = m_wc_w(T - T_w) = 713.06$

$136*4.186(T - 43.6) = 713.06$

$T - 43.6 = \frac{713.06}{136*4.186} = 1.25$

$T = 1.25 + 43.6 = 44.85C$

What is the only function of the pulleys in the diagram?

tia_tia [17]

The only function of the pulleys in the diagram is to change the direction

of the force applied to raise the bricks.

<h3>What is a Pulley?</h3>

A pulley is a wheel which has a flexible rope on its rim and helps to

transmit energy and motion.

In the diagram given, we can see that the pulley is used to raise a mass of

block by three people. They pull the rope horizontally in order to raise the

block vertically. This means that it was used to change the direction of the

applied force.

Two carts, A and B, are connected by a spring and sitting at rest on a track. Cart A has a mass of 0.4 kg and Cart B has a mass

Ilya [14]

Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil.

The given parameters;

<em>Mass of the cart A = 0.4 kg</em>
<em>Mass of the cart B = 0.8 kg</em>

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to determine the velocity of the carts after collision;

$m_Av_0_A\ + m_Bv_0_B = m_Av_f_A \ + m_Bv_f_B\\\\the \ initial \ velocity \ of \ both \ carts = 0\\\\0.4(0) + 0.8(0) = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0 = 0.4v_f_A + 0.8v_f_B\\\\0.4v_f_A = -0.8v_f_B\\\\v_f_A= \frac{-0.8 v_f_B}{0.4} \\\\v_f_A = - 2 \ v_f_B \ \ m/s$

According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. The force exerted on cart A is equal to the force exerted on cart B but in opposite direction.

$F_A = -F_B$

Thus, the correct statement that compares the motion and forces acting on the two carts is "Both carts experience the same force but Cart A has a greater speed after the recoil."
