We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
where
F is the net force applied to the object
m is the object's mass
a is the acceleration of the object
In this problem, the force applied to the car is F=1050 N, while the mass of the car is m=760 kg. Therefore, we can rearrange the equation and put these numbers in, in order to find the acceleration of the car:
The equation also tells us that the acceleration and the force have same directions: therefore, since the force exerted on the car is horizontal, the correct answer is
<span>B) 1.4 m/s2 horizontally.</span>

Answer:
48.16 %
Explanation:
coefficient of restitution = 0.72
let the incoming speed be = u
let the outgoing speed be = v
kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x
- incoming kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x
- coefficient of restitution =
0.72 =
v = 0.72u
therefore the outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x
outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x
outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5184 (0.5 x m x )
recall that 0.5 x m x is our incoming kinetic energy, therefore
outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5184 x (incoming kinetic energy)
from the above we can see that the outgoing kinetic energy is 51.84 % of the incoming kinetic energy.
The energy lost would be 100 - 51.84 = 48.16 %
Answer:
Right Hand Rule
Explanation:
When a charged particle travels in a magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude is given by:
where
q is the charge of the particle
v is the velocity
B is the magnetic field strength
is the angle between the directions of v and B
The direction of the force can be determined by using the Right Hand Rule, as follows:
- index finger: this should be put in the direction of the velocity
- middle finger: this should be put in the direction of the magnetic field
- thumb: this will give the direction of the force -> however, for a negative charge (as the electron) the direction must be reversed, so it will be opposite.
