If the floor is truly frictionless, then ANY force, no matter how small, applied for
ANY time, no matter how short, will set the block in motion. The force can then
be taken away, because on a frictionless surface, NO force is required in order
to keep the block moving.
The work done is equal to the kinetic energy you want the block to have. That
can be as much or as little as you feel like giving it.
Answer:572.02 N
Explanation:
Given
mass of sofa m =63 kg
inclination
acceleration
Let T be the tension in the string
The size of the field 'decreases'. Imagine zooming in on your TV so that your face is pressed up against the screen. you can see the individual pixels but you cannot see the whole picture because the sizer of your 'field of view' has shrunk.
Answer:
Their change in momentum is the same in magnitude and opposite in direction
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is defined as:
where
m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity of the object
Therefore, the change in momentum of an object is
where is the change in velocity.
During a collision, the force experienced by an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum:
where is the duration of the collision.
According to Newton's third law of motion, the force exerted by vehicle 1 on vehicle 2 during the collision is equal (and opposite) to the force exerted by vehicle 2 on vehicle 1, so
Which means
And since the duration of the collision is the same for the two vehicles, this becomes
Answer:
The one with highest velocity
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is given by
where
m is the mass of the car
v is the velocity of the car
In this problem, we have two identical cars: identical means they have same mass, so
The momentum of car 1 is
while the momentum of car 2 is
By comparing the two expressions, we see that the car with greatest momentum is the one with highest velocity, since the mass is the same.
