Answer:

The truck and car have the same momentum.

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of car = $2000\ \text{lb}=2000\times0.45359237\ \text{kg}$

$v_1$ = Velocity of car = $\dfrac{100}{3.6}\ \text{m/s}$

$m_2$ = Mass of truck = $4000\times0.45359237\ \text{kg}$

$v_2$ = Velocity of truck = $\dfrac{50}{3.6}\ \text{m/s}$

Momentum of car

$p_1=m_1v_1\\\Rightarrow p_1=2000\times0.45359237\times \dfrac{100}{3.6}\\\Rightarrow p_1=25199.58\ \text{kg m/s}$

Momentum of the truck

$p_2=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow p_2=4000\times0.45359237\times \dfrac{50}{3.6}\\\Rightarrow p_2=25199.58\ \text{kg m/s}$

Both the truck and car have the same momentum of $25199.58\ \text{kg m/s}$ .

5. A hollow cylinder of mass m, radius Rc, and moment of inertia I = mRc2 is pushed against a spring (with spring constant k) co

Makovka662 [10]

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the cylinder at the top of the loop. At the minimum speed, the normal force is 0, so the only force is weight pulling down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/RL

v = √(g RL)

(b) Energy is conserved.

EE = KE + RE + PE

½ kd² = ½ mv² + ½ Iω² + mgh

kd² = mv² + Iω² + 2mgh

kd² = mv² + (m RC²) ω² + 2mg (2 RL)

kd² = mv² + m RC²ω² + 4mg RL

kd² = mv² + mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2m (v² + 2g RL)

d² = 2m (v² + 2g RL) / k

d = √[2m (v² + 2g RL) / k]

Sphere A with mass 80 kg is located at the origin of an xy coordinate system; sphere B with mass 60 kg is located at coordinates

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N

Explanation:

Given:-

- The masses and the position coordinates from ( 0 , 0 ) are:

Sphere A : ma = 80 kg , ( 0 , 0 )

Sphere B : ma = 60 kg , ( 0.25 , 0 )

Sphere C : ma = 0.2 kg , ra = 0.2 m , rb = 0.15

- The gravitational constant G = 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2

Find:-

what is the gravitational force on C due to A and B?

Solution:-

- The gravitational force between spheres is given by:

F = G*m1*m2 / r^2

Where, r : The distance between two bodies (sphere).

- The vector (rac and rbc) denote the position of sphere C from spheres A and B:-

Determine the angle (α) between vectors rac and rab using cosine rule:

$cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{rab^2 + rac^2 - rbc^2}{2*rab*rac} \\\\cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.2^2 - 0.15^2}{2*0.25*0.2}\\\\cos ( \alpha ) = 0.8\\\\\alpha = 36.87^{\circ \:}$

Determine the angle (β) between vectors rbc and rab using cosine rule:

$cos ( \beta ) = \frac{rab^2 + rbc^2 - rac^2}{2*rab*rbc} \\\\cos ( \beta ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.15^2 - 0.2^2}{2*0.25*0.15}\\\\cos ( \beta ) = 0.6\\\\\beta = 53.13^{\circ \:}$

- Now determine the scalar gravitational forces due to sphere A and B on C:

Between sphere A and C:

Fac = G*ma*mc / rac^2

Fac = (6.674×10−11)*80*0.2 / 0.2^2

Fac = 2.67*10^-8 N

vector Fac = Fac* [ - cos (α) i + - sin (α) j ]

vector Fac = 2.67*10^-8* [ - cos (36.87°) i + -sin (36.87°) j ]

vector Fac = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8 N

Between sphere B and C:

Fbc = G*mb*mc / rbc^2

Fbc = (6.674×10−11)*60*0.2 / 0.15^2

Fbc = 3.56*10^-8 N

vector Fbc = Fbc* [ cos (β) i - sin (β) j ]

vector Fbc = 3.56*10^-8* [ cos (53.13°) i - sin (53.13°) j ]

vector Fbc = [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8 N

- The Net gravitational force can now be determined from vector additon of Fac and Fbc:

Fc = vector Fac + vector Fbc

Fc = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8 + [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8

Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N

Which interaction of nature depends on the distance through which it acts and is involved in beta decay? a. strong c. electromag

USPshnik [31]

The answer is weak. The interaction of nature that will depend on the distance through the way it acts and involved in beta decay is the weak interaction or the weak force. This interaction is the responsible for radioactive decay which also plays a significant role in nuclear fission.
