PLEASE ANSWER You are in a vehicle waiting at a railroad crossing and notice a train going by at a constant speed of 5 kph. You

happen to notice that there’s no engineer driving the train and it seems to be on auto pilot. Down the track in the direction the train is traveling, you see a Humane Society van full of cute puppies and kittens stalled out on the tracks. Are the van’s passengers in trouble or not? Use Newton’s 2nd Law to explain.

Newton’s second law is which simply states that the rate of change of momentum of a body over time is directly proportional to the force applied. An example is baseball. If you hit the ball with small force it won’t go far or fly in the air fast rather slowly glide through the air and probably touch the ground in 5 seconds. Based on that this question isn’t able to use the 2nd law. A train with no driver to stop it that weighs tons more than a van with puppies in it will destroy and plow through the van no matter what. It doesn’t matter the speed nor how far away it is. They are in danger due to the fact there is no driver to stop the train and there is a big mass difference between the two transportation devices.

The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit
Margaret [11]

Let  us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.

Let they are  separated by a distance of r from each other.

As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as -  F = G\frac{mm'}{r^{2} }   where G is the gravitational force constant.

From the above we see that F ∝ mm' and F\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }

Let the orbital radius of planet  A is r_{1}  = r and mass of planet is m_{1}.

Let the mass of central star is m .

Hence the gravitational force for planet A  is f_{1} =G \frac{m_{1}*m }{r^{2} }

For planet B the orbital radius  r_{2} =2r_{1} and mass m_{2} = 3 m_{1}

Hence the gravitational force f_{2} =G\frac{m m_{2} }{r^{2} }

                                                 f_{2} =G\frac{m*3m_{1} }{[2r_{1}] ^{2} }

                                                 = \frac{3}{4} G\frac{mm_{1} }{r_{1} ^{2} }

Hence the ratio is  \frac{f_{2} }{f_{1} } = \frac{\frac{3}{4}G mm_{1/r_{1} ^2}  }{Gmm_{1}/r_{1} ^2 }

                                      =\frac{3}{4}     [ ans]

Heat transfers energy from a hot object to a cold object. Both objects are isolated from their surroundings. The change in entro
aniked [119]

To develop this problem we will start from the definition of entropy as a function of total heat, temperature. This definition is mathematically described as

S = \frac{Q}{T}

Here,

Q = Total Heat

T = Temperature

The total change of entropy from a cold object to a hot object is given by the relationship,

\Delta S = \frac{Q}{T_{cold}}-\frac{Q}{T_{hot}}

From this relationship we can realize that the change in entropy by the second law of thermodynamics will be positive. Therefore the temperature in the hot body will be higher than that of the cold body, this implies that this term will be smaller than the first, and in other words it would imply that the magnitude of the entropy 'of the hot body' will always be less than the entropy 'cold body'

Change in entropy \Delta S_{hot} is smaller than \Delta S_{cold}

Therefore the correct answer is C. Will always have a smaller magnitude than the change in entropy of the cold object

Find the lengths of each of the following vectors
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Generally, length of vector means the magnitude of the vector.

So, given a vector

R = a•i + b•j + c•k

Then, it magnitude can be caused using

|R|= √(a²+b²+c²)

So, applying this to each of the vector given.

(a) 2i + 4j + 3k

The length is

L = √(2²+4²+3²)

L = √(4+16+9)

L = √29

L = 5.385 unit

(b) 5i − 2j + k

Note that k means 1k

The length is

L = √(5²+(-2)²+1²)

Note that, -×- = +

L = √(25+4+1)

L = √30

L = 5.477 unit

(c) 2i − k

Note that, since there is no component j implies that j component is 0

L = 2i + 0j - 1k

The length is

L = √(2²+0²+(-1)²)

L = √(4+0+1)

L = √5

L = 2.236 unit

(d) 5i

Same as above no is j-component and k-component

L = 5i + 0j + 0k

The length is

L = √(5²+0²+0²)

L = √(25+0+0)

L = √25

L = 5 unit

(e) 3i − 2j − k

The length is

L = √(3²+(-2)²+(-1)²)

L = √(9+4+1)

L = √14

L = 3.742 unit

(f) i + j + k

The length is

L = √(1²+1²+1²)

L = √(1+1+1)

L = √3

L = 1.7321 unit
