A truck collides with a car on horizontal ground. At one moment during the collision, the magnitude of the acceleration of the t

ruck is 12.7 m/s^2. The mass of the truck is 2490 kg and the mass of the car is 890 kg. Assume that the only horizontal forces on the vehicles during the collision are the forces they exert on one another.

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the truck, a_t = 12.7 m/s²

mass of the truck, m_t = 2490 kg

mass of the car, m_c = 890 kg

let the acceleration of the car at the moment they collided = a_c

Apply Newton's third law of motion;

Magnitude of force exerted by the truck = Magnitude of force exerted by the car.

The force exerted by the car occurs in the opposite direction.

F_c = -F_t\\\\m_ca_c = -m_t a_t\\\\a_c =- \frac{m_ta_t}{m_c} \\\\a_c = -\frac{2490 \times 12.7}{890} \\\\a_c = - 35.53 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²

Exercise 2.4.6: Suppose you wish to measure the friction a mass of 0.1 kg experiences as it slides along a floor (you wish to fi
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

  b = 0.6487 kg / s

Explanation:

In an oscillatory motion, friction is proportional to speed,

               fr = - b v

where b is the coefficient of friction

when solving the equation the angular velocity has the form

               w² = k / m - (b / 2m)²

In this exercise we are given the angular velocity w = 1Hz, the mass of the body m = 0.1 kg, and the spring constant k = 5 N / m. Therefore we can disperse the coefficient of friction

             

let's call

               w₀² = k / m

               w² = w₀² - b² / 4m²

               b² = (w₀² -w²) 4 m²

Let's find the angular velocities

             w₀² = 5 / 0.1

             w₀² = 50

             w = 2π f

             w = 2π 1

             w = 6.2832 rad / s

we subtitute

               b² = (50 - 6.2832²) 4 0.1²

               b = √ 0.42086

                b = 0.6487 kg / s

To compare the hearing capacities of 5 of his friends, Ravi designs a simple experiment. He places a CD player at the end of a l
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

A) having each person listen to just 1 song instead of 5.

Explanation:

Ravi could accurately use the outcome to compare the hearing capacities of his friends by this experiment if appropriate precautions are observed.

Playing 5 well known songs simultaneously could result to the interference of sounds when each participant moves away from the player. Which could naturally cause the variation in volume of the songs played with respect to the increasing distance.

Therefore, the reliability of the result from this experiment can be increased if each person listen to just 1 song instead of 5 at a predetermined volume. Each participant would be able to focus on hearing a song during the experiment.

Two 8.0 Ω lightbulbs are connected in a 12 V series circuit. What is the power of both glowing bulbs?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

18 W

Explanation:

Applying,

P = V²/R.................. Equation 1

Where P = Power of both glowing bulbs, V = Voltage, R = Combined Resistance of both bulbs

Since: It is a series circuit,

Then,

R = R1+R2............. Equation 2

Where R1= Resistance of the first bulb, R2 = Resistance of the second bulb

Given: R1 = R2 = 8 Ω

Substitute into equation 1

R = 8+8

R = 16 Ω

Also Given: V = 12 V

Substitute into equation 1

P = 12²/8

P = 144/8

P = 18 W

The unit 'mb' means millibar which is equivalent to 1/1000 of 1 bar. To convert the units from bar to atmospheres (atm) and to inches Hg (inHg), we need to know the conversion factors.

a.) 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(1 atm/1.01325 bar) =<em> 9.08×10⁻⁴ atm</em>

b.) 1 bar = 29.53 inHg

0.92 mb(1 bar/1000 mbar)(29.53 inHg/1 bar) =<em> 0.027 inHg</em>

BRAINLIEST PLS HELP
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

It means that out of 20 students, 3 males and 1 female were digital screen addicts because they were getting dangerous amount of blue light. Thus couldn't feel calming sensation that a human feels while seeing blue light. The rest students were getting balanced blue light. So they were getting relaxed feeling while being exposed to blue light.
