Answer:

B

Explanation:

When ever there is a collision between two bodies , according to Newton 's third law of motion both bodies irrespective of their masses exert force of same magnitude , in opposite direction and these forces always act in a straight line . hence B is the choice

7. Imagine you are pushing a 15 kg cart full of 25 kg of bottled water up a 10o ramp. If the coefficient of friction is 0.02, wh

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The frictional force needed to overcome the cart is 4.83N

Explanation:

The frictional force can be obtained using the following formula:

$F= \mu R$

where $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction = 0.02

R = Normal reaction of the load = $mgcos\theta$ = $25 \times 9.81 \times cos 10$ = $241.52N$

Now that we have the necessary parameters that we can place into the equation, we can now go ahead and make our substitutions, to get the value of F.

$F=0.02 \times 241.52N$

F = 4.83 N

Hence, the frictional force needed to overcome the cart is 4.83N

Charina says that when waves interact with an object, they will interfere with the object, and that when waves interact with oth

s344n2d4d5 [400]

No, she has it backward. Waves interfere with each other and reflect off objects. When two waves overlap their amplitudes add. If they have the same sign this addition is constructive, meaning the amplitudes grow. If they have opposite signs this constitutes subtraction and the waves can partially, or completely cancel. This is known as interference. Reflection occurs when waves travel from one medium to another. If the wave impedance of the new medium is different (which it generally is) there will be a partial, or even total, reflection.

A uniform Rectangular Parallelepiped of mass m and edges a, b, and c is rotating with the constant angular velocity ω around an

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

(a) k = $\frac{Mw^{2} }{6} (a^{2} +b^{2} )$

(b) τ = $\frac{M}{3} (a^{2} +b^{2} )$ ∝

Explanation:

The moment of parallel pipe rotating about it's axis is given by the formula;

I = $\frac{M}{3} (a^{2} +b^{2} )$ ---------------------------------1

(a) The kinetic energy of a parallel pipe is also given as;

k = $\frac{1}{2} Iw^{2}$ --------------------------------2

Putting equation 1 into equation 2, we have;

k = $\frac{M}{6} (a^{2} +b^{2} )w^{2}$

k = $\frac{Mw^{2} }{6} (a^{2} +b^{2} )$

(b) The angular momentum is given by the formula;

τ = Iw -----------------------3

Putting equation 1 into equation 3, we have

τ = $\frac{Mw}{3} (a^{2} +b^{2} )$

But

τ = dτ/dt = $\frac{M}{3} (a^{2} +b^{2} )\frac{dw}{dt}$ ------------------4

where

dw/dt = angular acceleration =∝

Equation 4 becomes;

τ = $\frac{M}{3} (a^{2} +b^{2} )$ ∝

An ambulance moving at 42 m/s sounds its siren whose frequency is 450 hz. a car is moving in the same direction as the ambulance

Korvikt [17]

(a) Since the ambulance and the car are moving one relative to each other, we have to use the general formula of the Doppler effect, which gives us the shift of the frequency of the siren as heard by an observer in the car:
$f'=( \frac{v+v_o}{v+v_s} )f$
where
f' is the apparent frequency as heard by the observer in the car
v is the velocity of the wave
$v_o$ is the velocity of the observer (positive if it is moving towards the source, negative if it is moving away)
$v_s$ is the velocity of the source (positive if the source is moving away from the observer, negative if is is moving towards it)
f is the real frequency of the sound

In the first part of the problem:
$v=343 m/s$ (speed of the sound wave)
$v_o =-25 m/s$ (the car is moving away from the ambulance)
$v_s = -42 m/s$ (the ambulance is moving towards the car)
$f=450 Hz$ (original frequency of the sound)

If we plug the numbers into the formula, we find
$f'=( \frac{343 m/s-25 m/s}{343 m/s-42 m/s} )(450 Hz)=475 Hz$

b) This time, the ambulance passes the car, so the ambulance is now moving away from the car; this means that $v_s$ must be positive:
$v_s=+42 m/s$
Moreover, the car is now moving towards the ambulance, so we should reverse also the sign of $v_o$ :
$v_o=+25 m/s$
All the other data do not change, so if we use the same formula as before, we find
$f'=( \frac{343 m/s+25 m/s}{343 m/s+42 m/s} )(450 Hz)=430 Hz$

A car is traveling at 20 meters/second and is brought to rest by applying brakes over a period of 4 seconds. What is its average

frez [133]

(u) = 20 m/s
(v) = 0 m/s
<span> (t) = 4 s
</span>
<span>0 = 20 + a(4)

</span><span>4 x a = -20
</span>
so, the answer is <span>-5 m/s^2. or -5 meter per second</span>
