A tow truck exerts a net horizontal force of 1050 N on a 760-kg car. What is the acceleration of the car during this time?

1 answer:

5 0

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law of motion:
$F=ma$
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:
$a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{1050 N}{760 kg}=1.4 m/s^2$

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>

A resistor uses 100 w of power when connected to 120 v emf. What is the current through the same resistor when connected to a 22

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the resistance of resistor be R .

Power of resistor V² / R , where V is potential applied .

V² / R = 100

120² / R = 100

R = 120² / 100

= 144 ohm .

Now potential diff applied = 220 V

current = potential diff / resistance

= 220 / 144

= 1.53 A approx .

what should be done in order to increase the gravitational force between two objects? Decrease the mass of both of the objects.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Decrease the distance between the two objects.

Explanation:

The force (F) of attraction between two masses (M₁ and M₂) separated by a distance (r) is given by:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

NOTE: G is the gravitational force constant.

From the equation:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

We can say that the force is directly proportional to the masses of the object and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This implies that an increase in any of the masses will increase the force of attraction and likewise, a decrease in any of the masses will lead to a decrease in the force of attraction.

Also, an increase in the distance between the masses will result in a decrease in the force of attraction and a decrease in the distance between the masses, will result in an increase in the force of attraction.

Considering the question given above,

To increase the gravitational force between the two objects, we must decrease the distance between the two objects as explained above.

A car with mass 1500 kg moves with constant velocity of 36 m/s. The driver sees a group of cows in front and he immediately step

Crazy boy [7]

From laws of motion:

$S = ( \frac{v + u}{2} ) \times t$
Where S is the distance/displacement (as you would call it) which is unknown
v = final velocity which is 0m/s (this is because the car stops)
u = initial velocity which is 36m/s (from the data given)
t = time taken for the distance to be covered and it is 6s

Substitute the values, hence:
$S = ( \frac{0 + 36}{2} ) \times 6$
$S = (18) \times 6 \\ \\ S = 108m$

But this is merely the distance he travelled in the 6 seconds he was trying to stop the car.

Therefore, the distance between the car and the cows = 160-108
Distance = 52m
