Which of the following represents an element?

A sled with a mass of 20 kg slides along frictionless ice at 4.5 m/s. It then crosses a rough patch of snow that exerts a fricti

Ugo [173]

Use Newton's second law to determine the acceleration being applied to the sled. There are three forces at work on the sled (its weight, the force normal to the ground, and friction) but two of them cancel, leaving friction as the only effective force. This vector is pointed in the opposite direction of the sled's movement, so if we take the direction of its movement to be the positive axis, we would find the acceleration due to the friction to be

$\vec F_G+\vec F_N+\vec F_F=m\vec a\iff-12\,\mathrm N=(20\,\mathrm{kg})a\implies a=-0.6\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

Now we use the formula

${v_f}^2-{v_i}^2=2a(x_f-x_i)$

to find the distance it travels. The sled comes to a rest, so $v_f=0$ , and let's take the starting position $x_i=0$ to be the origin. Then the distance traveled $x_f-x_i=x_f$ is

$-\left(4.5\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)^2=2\left(-0.6\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)x_f\implies x_f\approx17\,\mathrm m$

A box is pulled along a floor by a force of 3.0 N. The friction acting on the box is 1.0 N, as shown. How much kinetic energy do

Furkat [3]

Answer:

4 J

Explanation:

From the image attached, we can see 2 horizontal forces acting on the box albeit in opposite directions.

Now, the net force will be;

F_net = 3 - 1

F_net = 2 N

To move a distance of 2 metres, kinetic energy is;

K.E = Force × Distance = 2 × 2 = 4 J

A bus hits a bug and the bug splatters on the windshield, which force is greater?

grandymaker [24]

The forces acting on a body and the type of motion that results are given by Newton's three Laws of motion

The <u>force </u>of the bus is <u>the same</u> as reactive force of the bug

Reason:

According to Newton's third Law of motion, given that the bug collides

with the bus, the force with which the bus hits the bug is equal to the

reactive force of the bug on the on the bus

According to Newton's second Law of motion, force is equal to the rate of

change of the momentum produced

The impulse of the force of the bus on the bug is given as follows;

F·Δt = m·(v₂ - v₁)

Given that the force of the bus is large, the change in momentum, m·(v₂ - v₁),

is also large such that the parts of the bug are split by the rapid change in

velocity, and the bug splatters on the windshield, and is then carried along

on the trip,

The equally large reactive force of the bug, is such that the bug splatters

due its magnitude

Therefore, the correct response is that <u>the forces are the same</u>

How many leptons are in ⁷₃Li?

shutvik [7]

-- Electrons are leptons. There are <em>three</em> electrons in each neutral Lithium atom.

The last two parts of the question are absurd.

-- Bonbons are candy, not atomic particles. A bonbon cannot fit into a Lithium atom.

-- A pentagon is a closed geometric figure that has five sides. Although you could, in principle, have a pentagon small enough to fit into a Lithium atom, you could never find a piece of paper small enough to draw it on.

In single-slit diffraction, what happens to the dark fringes if the slit gets wider?.

Reptile [31]

The spacing between the fringes does not depend on the width of the slit.

The light intensity produced by the slits increases with increased width of the slit. The screen thus develops brighter fringes as the slit width increases.

On the screen, coloured fringes will be created if the white light replaces monochromatic light.

<h3>What is diffraction?</h3>

Diffraction is the breaking up of an electromagnetic wave as it passes a geometric structure (e.g. a slit), followed by reconstruction of the wave by interference. Diffraction occurs for all types of waves, including sound waves.
