The net force acting on the car is 65 N to the left

The net force acting on an object is simply defined as the resultant force acting on the object.

From the question given, we obtained the following data:

  • Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 250 N
  • Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 315 N
  • Net force (Fₙ) =?

The net force acting on the car can be obtained as follow:

Fₙ = Fₗ – Fᵣ

Fₙ = 315 – 250

<h3>Fₙ = 65 N to the left </h3>

Therefore, the net force acting on the car is 65 N to the left

Since there is no friction, the net force on the car in the x - direction will be 65 Newtons

Given that Dave and Alex push on opposite ends of a car that has a mass of 875 kg.

Dave pushes the car to the right with a force of 250 N, which is positive direction and Alex pushes to the left with a force of 315 N which is negative direction. Since there is no friction, only the horizontal forces will be considered.

To calculate the net force on the car in the x-direction, we will find the difference between the two forces because of their directions are opposite to each other.

Net force = 315 - 250

Net force = 65 Newtons

Therefore, the net force on the car in the x - direction will be 65 Newtons

A drag car starts from rest and moves down the racetrack with an acceleration defined by a = 50 - 10r, where a and fare in m/s^2
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Mistake in question

The correct question

A drag car starts from rest and moves down the racetrack with an acceleration defined by a = 50 - 10t , where a and t are in m/s² and seconds, respectively. After reaching a speed of 125 m/s, a parachute is deployed to help slow down the dragster. Knowing that this deceleration is defined by the relationship a = - 0.02v², where v is the velocity in m/s, determine (a) the total time from the beginning of the race until the car slows back down to 10 m/s, (b) the total distance the car travels during this time.

Explanation:

Given the function

a = 50 —10t

The car started from rest u = 0

And it accelerates to a speed of 125m/s

Then, let find the time in this stage

Acceleration can be modeled by

a = dv/dt

Then, dv/dt = 50—10t

Using variable separation to solve the differentiation equation

dv = (50—10t)dt

Integrating both sides

∫ dv = ∫ (50—10t)dt

Note, v ranges from 0 to 125seconds, so we want to know the time when it accelerate to 125m/s. So t ranges from 0 to t'

∫ dv = ∫ (50—10t)dt

v = 50t —10t²/2. Equation 1

[v] 0<v<125 = 50t —10t²/2 0<t<t'

125—0 = 50t — 5t² 0<t<t'

125 = 50t' — 5t'²

Divide through by 5

25 = 10t' — t'²

t'² —10t' + 25 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation

t'² —5t' —5t' + 25 = 0

t'(t' —5) —5(t' + 5) = 0

(t' —5)(t' —5) = 0

Then, (t' —5) = 0 twice

Then, t' = 5 seconds twice

So, the car spent 5 seconds to get to 125m/s.

The second stage when the parachute was deployed

We want to the time parachute reduce the speed from 125m/s to 10m/s,

So the range of the velocity is 125m/s to 10m/s. And time ranges from 0 to t''

The function of deceleration is give as

a = - 0.02v²

We know that, a = dv/dt

Then, dv/dt = - 0.02v²

Using variable separation

(1/0.02v²) dv = - dt

(50/v²) dv = - dt

50v^-2 dv = - dt

Integrate Both sides

∫ 50v^-2 dv = -∫dt

(50v^-2+1) / (-2+1)= -t

50v^-1 / -1 = -t

- 50v^-1 = -t

- 50/v = - t

Divide both sides by -1

50/v = t. Equation 2

Then, v ranges from 125 to 10 and t ranges from 0 to t''

[ 50/10 - 50/125 ] = t''

5 - 0.4 = t''

t'' = 4.6 seconds

Then, the time taken to decelerate from 125s to 10s is 4.6 seconds.

So the total time is

t = t' + t''

t = 5 + 4.6

t = 9.6 seconds

b. Total distanctraveleded.

First case again,

We want to find the distance travelled from t=0 to t = 5seconds

a = 50—10t

We already got v, check equation 1

v = 50t —10t²/2 + C

v = 50t — 5t² + C

We add a constant because it is not a definite integral

Now, at t= 0 v=0

So, 0 = 0 - 0 + C

Then, C=0

So, v = 50t — 5t²

Also, we know that v=dx/dt

Therefore, dx/dt = 50t — 5t²

Using variable separation

dx = (50t —5t²)dt

Integrate both sides.

∫dx = ∫(50t —5t²)dt

x = 50t²/2 — 5 t³/3 from t=0 to t=5

x' = [25t² — 5t³/3 ]. 0<t<5

x' = 25×5² — 5×5³/3 —0

x' = 625 — 208.333

x' = 416.667m

Stage 2

The distance moved from

t=0 to t =4.6seconds

a = -0.002v²

We already derived v(t) from the function above, check equation 2

50/v = t + C.

When, t = 0 v = 125

50/125 = 0 + C

0.4 = C

Then, the function becomes

50/v = t + 0.4

50v^-1 = t + 0.4

Now, v= dx/dt

50(dx/dt)^-1 = t +0.4

50dt/dx = t + 0.4

Using variable separation

50/(t+0.4) dt = dx

Integrate both sides

∫50/(t+0.4) dt = ∫ dx

50 In(t+0.4) = x

t ranges from 0 to 4.6seconds

50In(4.6+0.4)—50In(4.6-0.4) = x''

x'' = 50In(5) —50In(4.2)

x'' = 8.72m

Then, total distance is

x = x' + x''

x = 416.67+8.72

x = 425.39m

The total distance travelled in both cases is 425.39m

The air temperature in a 28 in.3 container with a free sliding piston is initially measured at 45 °
sergiy2304 [10]

To solve this we assume that the gas inside is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant pressure and number of moles of the gas the ratio T/V is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1 / V1 = T2 / V2

V2 = T2 x V1 / T1

V2 = 659.7 x 28 / 504.7

<span>V2 = 36.60 in^3</span>

An object is dropped on Earth from a height of 15 m. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the object just as it hits the gro
ivolga24 [154]
Here, we know, according to 3rd Equation of Kinematics, 
v² - u² = 2as

Here, u = 0  [ Free fall ]
a = 9.8 m/s² [ constant value for the Earth system ]
s = 15 m

Substitute their values, 
v² - 0² = 2 * 9.8 * 15
v² = 294
v = √294
v = 17.15 m/s

In short, Your Answer would be Option D

Hope this helps!

When the electron is moving in the plane of the page in the direction indicated by the arrow, the force on the electron is direc
Serga [27]

Answer: F

Out of the page.

Explanation:

For an electron with a charge of -e, the magnitude of the force on it is F = BeV

Where

F = force on the electron

e = charge ( electrons )

V = velocity

B = magnetic field

F is the force acting on all the electrons in a wire which gives rise to the F = BIL

Where

I = current

L = length of the wire

The force F is always at the right angle to the particle's velocity and its direction can be found using the left hand rule.

When the electron is moving in the plane of the page in the direction indicated by the arrow, the force on the electron is directed out of the page.
