The force of the truck on the car is equal to the force of the car on the truck.

<h3>What is Newton's third law of motion?</h3>

Newton's third law of motion states that action and reaction are equal and opposite.

Let the mass of the small car = m

Let the mass of the truck = M

The force exerted by the small car is calculated as;

F₁ = ma

The force exerted by the large truck is calculated as;

F₂ = Ma

According to Newton's third law, the magnitude of the two forces are equal but opposite in direction.

|F₁| = |F₂|

Thus, we can conclude that, the force of the truck on the car is equal to the force of the car on the truck.

Merry-go-rounds are a common ride in park playgrounds. The ride is a horizontal disk that rotates about a vertical axis at their

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A = 2.36m/s

B = 3.71m/s²

C = 29.61m/s2

Explanation:

First, we convert the diameter of the ride from ft to m

10ft = 3m

Speed of the rider is the

v = circumference of the circle divided by time of rotation

v = [2π(D/2)]/T

v = [2π(3/2)]/4

v = 3π/4

v = 2.36m/s

Radial acceleration can also be found as a = v²/r

Where v = speed of the rider

r = radius of the ride

a = 2.36²/1.5

a = 3.71m/s²

If the time of revolution is halved, then radial acceleration is

A = 4π²R/T²

A = (4 * π² * 3)/2²

A = 118.44/4

A = 29.61m/s²

Which of the following is a characteristic of a mixture

BARSIC [14]

I believe you forgot to add the choices. I will tell you some of the characteristics of mixtures and I hope you find one of them in the choices you have.

A mixture is a physical combination between two or more elements. No chemical reaction is involved in the formation of mixtures.
The components of the mixture can be separated using physical methods such as filtration, boiling and condensation.
Examples of mixtures include mixture of sugar and water or mixture of salt and sugar.

A 180 g model airplane charged to 18 mC and traveling at 2.2 m/s passes within 8.6 cm of a wire, nearly parallel to its path, ca

viva [34]

Answer:

$a=0.2*10^{-5}g$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $M=180=>0.18kg$

Charge $Q=18mC=18*10^-^3C$

Velocity $v=2.2m/s$

Length of Wire $L=8.6cm=>0.086$

Current $I=30A$

Generally the equation for Magnetic Field of Wire B is mathematically given by

$B=\frac{\mu_0*I}{2\pi*l}$

$B=\frac{4*3.14*10^-^7*I}{2*3.14*8.6}$

$B=6.978*10^{-5}T$

Generally the equation for Force on the plane F is mathematically given by

$F=qvB$

Therefore

$ma=qvB$

$a=\frac{qvB}{m}$

$a=\frac{18*10^{-5}83.4*6.978*10^{-5}}{0.18kg}$

$a=2.37*10^{-5}$

Therefore in Terms of g's

$a=\frac{2.37*10^{-5}}{9.8}$

$a=0.2*10^{-5}g$

How much will the kinetic energy of a school bus increase if its velocity is tripled?

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a school bus.

Let say initially the school bus is traveling with speed "v"

Let assume mass of school bus is "m"

Then, the initial kinetic energy is

K.E_initial = ½mv²

Now, if the initial velocity is tripled,

Then, the new velocity is

v_new = 3v.

Note: the mass of the school does not change it is constant

Then, new kinetic energy is

K.E_new = ½m(v_new)²

v_new = 3v

Then,

K.E_new = ½m(3v)²

K.E_new = ½m × 9v²

K.E_new = 9 × ½mv²

Since K.E = ½mv²

Then,

K.E_new = 9 × K.E

So, the new kinetic energy will be 9 times the initial kinetic energy.

So, option D is correct

D. It will be nine times greater.

Two golfers each hit a ball at the same speed, but one at 60 degrees with the horizontal and the other 30 degrees. a. Which ball

likoan [24]

Answer:

Therefore, both balls will hit the ground at the same distance from their respective starting points and at the same time.

Explanation:

Both balls will hit the ground at the same distance and at the same time assuming they both start at the same initial elevation from the ground.

We know that range in the projectile motion given as

$R=\dfrac{v_o^2sin2\theta}{g}$

sin 60° = sin 120° =0.866

Therefore, the maximum range will be identical assuming both golfers hit the ball at the same elevation from the ground.

As for the time...

Where v is 0 m/s (final velocity at highest point), v0 is the initial velocity (for both golfers) and is the acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s^²). As you can see, the time it takes to get to the highest point is independent of the angle; it is only dependent on the initial velocity. Since both golfers hit the ball with the same speed, the time for the ball to reach the highest point will be the same. Also, since it's a parabola, you can multiply the time by 2 for each golfer to get the time it takes to hit the ground.

Therefore, both balls will hit the ground at the same distance from their respective starting points and at the same time.
