A cartoon shows two friends watching an unoccupied car in free fall after it has rolled off a diff. One friend says to the other

, "It goes from zero to sixty mphin about three seconds." Is this statement correct? (Note that 60 mph converts to 26.8 m/s.)

Answer:

The statement is not correct.

Explanation:

To know if the statement is correct, we shall determine the velocity of the car after 3 s. This is illustrated below.

Data obtained from the question include:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 3 s

Final velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 3)

v = 0 + 29.4

v = 29.4 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the car after 3 s is 29.4 m/s.

Hence, the statement made by the friend is not correct as the car has a falling velocity of 29.4 m/s after 3 s.

Why does a magnet attract a steel nail
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The nail will stick to the bar magnet because it will become magnetized, and it's metal. The presence of the nearby north pole rearranges the magnetic domains inside the steel so that their south poles all point toward the north pole of the permanent magnet. As a result, the other end of the nail becomes a north pole.Magnets attract iron due to the influence of their magnetic field upon the iron. ... When exposed to the magnetic field, the atoms begin to align their electrons with the flow of the magnetic field, which makes the iron magnetized as well. This, in turn, creates an attraction between the two magnetized objects.

Armand hands the rock to Pierre, who is standing next to the trampoline. Explain how Armand moves, in terms of the forces acting
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Armando's weight ,restored force created by the trampoline

a harmonic movement within the trampoline

Explanation:

In a trampoline we have two forces that actuate Armando's weight and the restored force created by the trampoline that depends on the deformation distance of the elastic canvas.

Amando's weight is vertical and directed towards the center of the Earth and has a constant value, this weight is balanced with the elastic force the springboard exerts on Armando in a vertical direction.

In general, when entering the trampoline, a small jump is made, this creates a speed that deforms the canvas until the speed is reduced to zero, at this point the elastic force is greater than the weight and the boy begins to climb, After the boy leaves the canvas he meets only the force of gravity and his speed decreases to zero and begins his fall.

In Summary Armando is in a harmonic movement within the trampoline

How do Newton’s laws of motion explain why it is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players can pass a pu
notka56 [123]

Answer:

Newton's first law

Explanation:

Newton's first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. Therefore, when the ice is smooth, friction gets lesser, and the force acted on that Puck will be decreased.
