A 1500 kg tractor pulls a 750 kg trailer north and applies a 2250 N force on it. What is the force on the tractor?

Answer:

law of Action and Reaction F = 2250 N

Explanation:

The tractor and the trailer are two bodies that interact, therefore, by the law of Action and Reaction, the force that one applies on the other is equal to the force that the second body (trailer) applies on the first (tractor), but with opposite direction

F = 2250 N

directed from trailer to tractor

You haven't said how much power the stereo uses. It matters !

Whatever that number is, the maximum hours per month is

(3460) divided by (the # of watts the stereo uses when it's playing) .

A wheel with moment of inertia 25 kg. m2 and angular velocity 10 rad/s begins to speed up, with angular acceleration 15 rad/sec2

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

(A) Angular speed 40 rad/sec

Rotation = 50 rad

(b) 37812.5 J

Explanation:

We have given moment of inertia of the wheel $I=25kgm^2$

Initial angular velocity of the wheel $\omega _0=10rad/sec$

Angular acceleration $\alpha =15rad/sec^2$

(a) We know that $\omega =\omega _0+\alpha t$

We have given t = 2 sec

So $\omega =10+15\times 2=40rad/sec$

Now $\Theta =\omega _0t+\frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2=10\times 2+\frac{1}{2}\times 15\times 2^2=50rad$

(b) After 3 sec $\omega =10+15\times 3=55rad/sec$

We know that kinetic energy is given by $Ke=\frac{1}{2}I\omega ^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 25\times 55^2=37812.5J$

Suppose a 1300 kg car is traveling around a circular curve in a road at a constant

Scrat [10]

Answer:

F = 4212 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a car, m = 1300 kg

Speed of car on the road is 9 m/s

Radius of curve, r = 25 m

We need to find the magnitude of the unbalanced force that steers the car out of its natural straight- line path. The force is called centripetal force. It can be given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\F=\dfrac{1300\times 9^2}{25}\\\\F=4212\ N$

So, the force has a magnitude of 4212 N
