Answer:

5.0 km/h = 5.0 km/60min

speed = distance/time

distance = speed x time = 5.0km/60min x 19min = 1.6km

A book is sitting on the dashboard of a car that is stopped at a traffic light as the car starts to move forward the book slides

Zina [86]

Answer:

The book remained in its state of rest before the car started to move forward as no direct force acted on it.

Explanation:

According to Newton's first law of motion, a body will continue in its present state of rest, or if it is in motion, will continue to move with uniform speed in a straight line unless aced upon by an external force. This tendency of a body to remain in its state of reset or uniform motion in a straight line is known as inertia and is directly proportional to the mass of the body. The more massive a body, the more inertia it possesses. Thus Newton's first law is also known as the law of inertia.

Considering the case of the book on the dashboard of a stationary car which suddenly starts to move. While the car is stopped at the traffic light, the dashboard where the book sits and the book are both at rest. When the car begins to move forward, the dashboard moves forward with it. However as the book is not a part of the car, no force is directly acting on it, so the book so it stays at rest due to its inertia.

Therefore, as the car is moving forward, the stationary book appears to move backward from the reference point of the car, sliding off the dashboard.

Each of 100 identical blocks sitting on a frictionless surface is connected to the next block by a massless string. The first bl

o-na [289]

Answer:

The tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51 is 50 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of block = 100

Force = 100 N

let m be the mass of each block.

We need to calculate the net force acting on the 100th block

Using second law of newton

$F=ma$

$100=100m\times a$

$ma=1\ N$

We need to calculate the tension in the string between blocks 99 and 100

Using formula of force

$F_{100-99}=ma$

$F_{100-99}=1$

We need to calculate the total number of masses attached to the string

Using formula for mass

$m'=(100-50)m$

$m'=50m$

We need to calculate the tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51

Using formula of tension

$F_{50}=m'a$

Put the value into the formula

$F_{50}=50m\times a$

$F_{50}=50\times1$

$F_{50}=50\ N$

Hence, The tension in the string connecting block 50 to block 51 is 50 N.

Two objects of same material are travelling near you. Object A is a 1.9 kg mass traveling 8 m/s; object B is a 2 kg mass traveli

Alex73 [517]

To determine the object which could give the greatest impact we will apply the concept of momentum. The object that has the highest momentum will be the object that will impact the strongest. Our values are
