Answer:

a'=1.285\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Let m be the mass of a little car and m' be the mass of another car.

We know that,

Force = mass × acceleration

ATQ,

m × a = 2m × a'

a = 2 × a'

a'=\dfrac{a}{2}\\\\a'=\dfrac{2.57}{2}\\\\a'=1.285\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of another little car is equal to 1.285\ m/s^2.

your drop a coin from the top of a hundred-story building(1000m). If you ignore air resistance, how fast will it be falling righ
Ede4ka [16]

consider the motion of con from top to bottom

Y = vertical displacement = 1000 m

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

v₀ = initial velocity at the top = 0 m/s

v = final velocity at the bottom = ?

using the kinematics equation

v² = v²₀ + 2 aY

v² = 0² + 2 (9.8) (1000)

v = 140 m/s


t = time taken to hit the ground

Using the equation

v = v₀ + at

140 = 0 + 9.8 t

t = 14.3 sec

If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each
g100num [7]

Answer:

1.

Firstly removing off one strip and it leaves electrons behind, so the strip becomes positively charged.

2. The roll however is not negatively charged because it is "earthed " by the hand holding it, thus excess negatives repel each other away through the hand.

3.Tearing off the next strip and once more it leaves electrons behind, the new strip is also positively charged and will repel the first strip.

4. Then, tear two strips apart and one will leave electrons behind on the other. Meaning that one strip is positive and the other is negative and they will attract each other.

A ship sends out a 1200 Hz sound wave, which has a wavelength of 120 cm in the water. What would happen if that ship sent out a
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

the wave length becomes doubled or becomes two times the initial wavelength = 240 cm

Explanation:

From wave,

v = λf................ Equation 1

Where v = velocity of the wave, λ = wavelength of the wave, f = frequency of the wave.

Given: f = 1200 Hz, λ = 120 cm = 1.2 m

Substitute into equation 1

v = 1200(1.2)

v = 1440 m/s.

When the ship sent out a 600 Hz sound wave,

make λ the subject of formula in equation 1

λ = v/f............. Equation 2

Given: f = 600 Hz, v = 1440 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

λ = 1440/600

λ = 2.4 m or 240 cm.

When the ship sent out a 600 Hz sound wave instead, the wave length becomes doubled or becomes two times the initial wavelength = 240 cm

At 5000-kg freight car runs into 10000-kg freight car at rest. they couple upon collision and move with a speed of 2 m/s. what w
aliina [53]

Solution for the problem is:

Total momentum before collision is always equal to total momentum after collision. So note that:
Momentum of car A = 5000 x Xm/s 
Momentum of car A + B = 15,000 x 2m/s 

So combining the two, will give us the equation:
15,000/5,000 = 3 
3 x 2 =6m/s

While Bob is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to his class, he drops an 1.0 lb bag of feathers from the
____ [38]

As per the question Bob drops the bag full with feathers from the top of the building.

The mass of the bag(m)= 1.0 lb

Let the air resistance is neglected.As the bag is under free fall ,hence the only force that acts on the bag is the force of gravity which is in vertical downward direction.

Here the acceleration produced on bag due to the free fall will be nothing else except the acceleration due to gravity i.e g =9.8 m/s^2


Here we are asked to calculate the distance travelled by the bag at the instant 1.5 s

Hence time t= 1.5 s

From equation of kinematics we know that -

                S=ut + 0.5at^2     [ here S is the distance travelled]

For motion under free fall initial velocity (u)=0.

Hence   S= 0×1.5+{0.5×(-9.8)×(1.5)^2}

           ⇒ -S =0-11.025 m

            ⇒ S= 11.025 m

                   =11 m

Here the negative sign is taken only due to the vertical downward motion of the body .we may take is positive depending on our frame of reference .


Hence the correct option is B.
