Answer:

The car would speed off twice as fast as the speed of the heavy truck provided the the collision is an elastic collision where there's no or little friction occurring within the scenario

The car would speed off twice as fast as the speed of the heavy truck provided the the collision is an elastic collision where there's no or little friction occurring within the scenario. Newton's law proves that an object with a greater mass can move objects of lesser mass at greater distances and speed.

A 37 N block rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the surface and the block ar
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of block = 37 N

Coefficients of static = 0.8

Kinetic friction = 0.4

Tension = 24 N

We need to calculate the maximum friction force

Using formula of friction force

f=\mu mg

Put the value into the formula

f=0.8\times37

f=29.6\ N

So, the tension must exceeds 29.6 N for the block to move

We need to calculate the frictional force acting on the block

Using formula of frictional force

f = \mu N

Put the value in to the formula

f=0.4\times37

f=14.8\ N

Hence, The frictional force acting on the block is 14.8 N.

Use the circuit diagram to decide if the lightbulb will light. Justify your answer.
podryga [215]

Answer:

The lightbulb will NOT light.

Explanation:

You put me in a difficult position.  I can't help it, but the "sample answer" is by far the best way to explain this, briefly and correctly.  There's no other choice but to copy it.

This is a short circuit. The branch without the bulb has almost no resistance, so all the current will flow through that branch instead of flowing through the bulb.

<em>If</em> the lower switch were <u>opened</u>, THEN we would have a series circuit.  Current would no longer have any other choice but to flow through the bulb, and the bulb would light.

a trampoline launches a 50kg person 2m into the air. if the springs push with 1960N of force, how much displacement was there in
Lina20 [59]

Answer: 0.5 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the person is m=50\ kg

Trampoline launches the person into the air up to height of h=2\ m

Force experience by springs is F=1960\ N

Here, the work done on displacing the springs is equivalent to the Potential energy acquired by the person i.e.

\Rightarrow F\cdot x=mgh\quad [\text{x=displacement of the trampoline}]\\\\\text{Insert the values}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{50\times 9.8\times 2}{1960}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{980}{1960}\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.5\ m

By what factor must the amplitude of a sound wave be increased in order to increase the intensity by a factor of 9?a. 9 b. 2 c.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2

increase the intensity by factor of 9

    I₁ = I₀

    I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}

\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2

(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}

      A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D
