A horse pulls on a carriage. By Newton's third law, the carriage pulls back on the horse with equal force. Why do the action and

reaction forces just described not balance each other out?
A.
because this is not an action--reaction pair
B.
because action and reaction forces are not equal in magnitude in this case
C.
because action and reaction forces act in the same direction in this case
D.
because the action force acts on the carriage, while the reaction force acts on the horse

Answer:

By Newton's third law the cart must then exert an equal and opposite force on the horse. ... If it doesn't accelerate, and it started it rest, it must remain at rest (by the definition of acceleration), and therefore no matter how hard the horse pulls, it can never move the cart

Savatey [412]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Newtons II law: </em>

<em>     </em>It  is defined as<em> "the net force acting on the object is a product of mass and acceleration of the body"</em> . Also it defines that the <em>"acceleration of an object is dependent on net force and mass of the body".</em>

Let us assume that,a string is attached to the cart, which passes over a pulley along the track. At another end of the string a weight is attached which hangs over the pulley. The hanging weight provides tension in the spring, and it helps in accelerating the cart. We assume that the string is massless and no friction between pulley and the string.

Whenever the hanging weight moves downwards, the cart will accelerate to right side.

<em>For the hanging weight/mass</em>

When hanging weight of mass is m₁ and accelerate due to gravitational force g.

           Therefore we can write F = m₁ .g

and the tension acts in upward direction T (negetive)

        Now, Fnet = m₁ .g - T

                          = m₁.a

So From Newtons II law<em> F =  m.a</em>

Ugonna stands at the top of an incline and pushes a 100−kg crate to get it started sliding down the incline. The crate slows to
Anna [14]

Answer:(a)891.64 N

(b)0.7

Explanation:

Mass of crate m=100 kg

Crate slows down in s=1.5 m

initial speed u=1.77 m/s

inclination \theta =30^{\circ}

From Work-Energy Principle

Work done by all the Forces is equal to change in Kinetic Energy

W_{friction}+W_{gravity}=\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2-\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2

W_{gravity}=mg(0-h)=mgs\sin \theta

W_{gravity}=-mgs\sin \theta

W_{gravity}=-100\times 9.8\times 1.5\sin 30=-735 N

change in kinetic energy=\frac{1}{2}\times 100\times 1.77^2=156.64 J

W_{friction}=156.64+735=891.645

(b)Coefficient of sliding friction

f_r\cdot s=W_{friciton}

891.645=f_r\times 1.5

f_r=594.43 N

and f_r=\mu mg\cos \theta

\mu 100\times 9.8\times \cos 30=594.43

\mu =0.7

Answer:

The bomb will remain in air for <u>17.5 s</u> before hitting the ground.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial vertical height is, y_0=1500\ m

Initial horizontal velocity is, u_x=688\ m/s

Initial vertical velocity is, u_y=0(\textrm{Horizontal velocity only initially)}

Let the time taken by the bomb to reach the ground be 't'.

So, consider the equation of motion of the bomb in the vertical direction.

The displacement of the bomb vertically is S=y-y_0=0-1500=-1500\ m

Acceleration in the vertical direction is due to gravity, g=-9.8\ m/s^2

Therefore, the displacement of the bomb is given as:

S=u_yt+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\-1500=0-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(t^2)\\1500=4.9t^2\\t^2=\frac{1500}{4.9}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{1500}{4.9}}=17.5\ s

So, the bomb will remain in air for 17.5 s before hitting the ground.

A car drives 16 miles south and then 12 miles west. What is the magnitude of the car’s displacement? 4 miles 16 miles 20 miles 2
Ostrovityanka [42]
For this case, what we can do is use the Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude of the displacement of the car.
 We have then
 d ^ 2 = 16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2&#10;
 From here, we clear the value of d.
 We have then:
 d =  \sqrt{16 ^ 2 + 12 ^ 2} &#10;
 Rewriting:
 d = \sqrt{256 + 144}
 d = \sqrt{400}
 d = 20 miles&#10;
 Answer:
 
The magnitude of the car's displacement is:
 
d = 20 miles

What is the magnitude of the relative angle φ
melomori [17]

Complete question is;

A ski jumper travels down a slope and leaves the ski track moving in the horizontal direction with a speed of 24 m/s. The landing incline below her falls off with a slope of θ = 59◦ . The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

What is the magnitude of the relative angle φ with which the ski jumper hits the slope? Answer in units of ◦

Answer:

14.08°

Explanation:

The time covered will be given by the formula;

t = (2V_x•tan θ)/g

t = (2 × 24 × tan 59)/9.8

t = 8.152 s

Now, the slope of the flight path at the point of impact will be given by the formula;

tan α = V_y/V_x

We are given V_x = 24 m/s

V_y will be gotten from the formula;

v = gt

Thus;

V_y = gt

V_y = 9.8 × (8.152) = 78.89 m/s

Thus;

tan α = 78.89/24

tan α = 3.2871

α = tan^(-1) 3.2871

α = 73.08°

Thus ;

Relative angle φ = α - θ = 73.08 - 59 = 14.08°
