Answer:

I tried...

Explanation:

Assuming the English system of mass and weight is the same as the Imperial system, the measurements are:

• 1 pound (lb) = 16 ounces (oz)

• 2,000 pounds (lbs) = 1 ton (T)

I think that's everything?

Answer:

Mass measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg) and weight is measured in Newtons (N)

Explanation:

We use the metric system not the imperial- I think this is what you mean :)

A football player kicks a football in a field goal attempt. When the football reaches its maximum height, what is the relationsh

Stels [109]

At position of maximum height we know that the vertical component of its velocity will become zero

so the object will have only horizontal component of velocity

so at that instant the motion of object is along x direction

while if we check the acceleration of object then it is due to gravity

so the acceleration of object is vertically downwards

so it is along y axis

so here these two physical quantities are perpendicular to each other

so correct answer would be

<em>C)At the maximum height, the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other. </em>

In the "before" part of Fig. 9-60, car A (mass 1100 kg) is stopped at a traffic light when it is rear-ended by car B (mass 1400

Complete Question:

In the "before" part of Fig. 9-60, car A (mass 1100 kg) is stopped at a traffic light when it is rear-ended by car B (mass 1400 kg). Both cars then slide with locked wheels until the frictional force from the slick road (with a low ?k of 0.15) stops them, at distances dA = 6.1 m and dB = 4.4 m. What are the speeds of (a) car A and (b) car B at the start of the sliding, just after the collision? (c) Assuming that linear momentum is conserved during the collision, find the speed of car B just before the collision.

Answer:

a) Speed of car A at the start of sliding = 4.23 m/s

b) speed of car B at the start of sliding = 3.957 m/s

c) Speed of car B before the collision = 7.28 m/s

Explanation:

NB: The figure is not provided but all the parameters needed to solve the question have been given.

Let the frictional force acting on car A, $f_{ra} = \mu mg\\$ ............(1)

Since frictional force is a type of force, we are safe to say $f_{ra} = ma$ .......(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

$ma = \mu mg\\a = \mu g\\\mu = 0.15\\a = 0.15 * 9.8 = 1.47 m/s^{2}$

a) Speed of A at the start of the sliding

$d_{A} = 6.1 m\\Speed of A at the start of sliding, v_{A} = \sqrt{2ad_{A} }\\ v_{A} = \sqrt{2*1.47*6.1 } \\v_{A} = \sqrt{17.934 } \\v_{A} = 4.23 m/s$

b) Speed of B at the start of the sliding

$d_{A} = 4.4 m\\Speed of A at the start of sliding, v_{B} = \sqrt{2ad_{B} }\\ v_{B} = \sqrt{2*1.47*4.4 } \\v_{B} = \sqrt{12.936 } \\v_{B} = 3.957 m/s$

Let the speed of car B before collision = $v_{B1}$

Momentum of car B before collision = $m_{B} v_{B1}$

Momentum after collision = $m_{A} v_{A} + m_{B} v_{B2}$

Applying the law of conservation of momentum:

$m_{B} v_{B1} = m_{A} v_{A} +m_{B} v_{B2}$

$m_{A} = 1100 kg\\m_{B} = 1400 kg$

$(1400*v_{B1} ) = (1100 * 4.23) + ( 1400 * 3.957)\\(1400*v_{B1} ) = 10192.8\\v_{B1} = 10192.8/1400\\v_{B1 = 7.28 m/s$

At what distance between two objects would you have the greatest gravitational force

Alla [95]

The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between their centers. So the
force is greatest when the distance is zero.
