List several examples of applied force, normal force, and friction that you’ve observed in your life.
grandymaker [24]

applied forces would be push for example.

normal forces would seem to be a force such as gravity.

friction for example when you try to slide on carpet but the fabric or whatever its made of stops you.

Why might a balloon, that is inflated almost to its capacity, pop or explode on an extremely warm day?
REY [17]
On an extremely warm day, the balloon might pop because gases expand the hotter they get, and due to its temperature it is likely to pop if it is, indeed, nearly, if not completely, filled to its capacity.  I hope this helps, have a nice day!

A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.

momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s

= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.

momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s

= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .

Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .

Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ

vertical  component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ

For making total momentum in the plane zero

.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s

.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s

Dividing

Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83

θ = 40⁰.

The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.

A 5,000 kg truck moving at 8 m/s has the same momentum as a 2,500 kg car. What is the velocity of the car?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

16 m/s.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of truck = 5000 Kg

Velocity of truck = 8 m/s

Mass of car = 2500 kg

Velocity of car =..?

Next, we shall determine the momentum of the truck. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of truck = 5000 Kg

Velocity of truck = 8 m/s

Momentum of truck =.?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 5000 × 8

Momentum of the truck = 40000 Kg.m/s

Finally, we shall determine the velocity of the car as follow:

From the question given above, we were told that the car and truck has the same momentum.

This implies that:

Momentum of the truck = momentum of car = 40000 Kg.m/s

Thus, the velocity of the car can be obtained as shown below:

Mass of car = 2500 kg

Momentum of the car = 40000 Kg.m/s

Velocity of car =..?

Momentum = mass × velocity

40000 = 2500 × velocity

Divide both side by 2500

Velocity = 40000/2500

Velocity = 16 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car is 16 m/s.
