Answer:

$a=4.2524\ m.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

two workers push a crate.

Force by first worker, $F_1=543\ N$

force by second worker, $F_2=333\ N$

mass of crate, $m=206\ kg$

(Assuming that both the workers push in the same direction.)

We know that,

<u>Acceleration is given as:</u>

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

$a=\frac{F_1+F_2}{m}$

$a=\frac{543+333}{206}$

$a=4.2524\ m.s^{-2}$

Preston tossed a red ball upward and it reaches a maximum height of 3.0. What is the final velocity when it returns to prestons

Leokris [45]

That will depend on the units of the 3.0. We need to know if it's 3 feet, 3 yards, 3 meters, or 3 miles. Each one will have a different answer.

Two horses, Thunder and Misty, are accelerating a wagon 1.3 m/s2. The force of friction is 75 N. Thunder is pulling with a force

just olya [345]

Answer:

1327 kg

Explanation:

So the net force exerted on the wagon would be the sum of forces from 2 horses subtracted by friction force

$F = 1000 + 800 - 75 = 1725 N$

This force results in an acceleration of a = 1.3 m/s2. We can use Newton's 2nd law to calculate the mass of the wagon

$F = ma$

$m = F / a = 1725 / 1.3 \approx 1327 kg$

Select the appropriate units for each property of a wave.

IceJOKER [234]

Intensity: Decibels

Amplitude: Meters

Frequency: Hertz

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Wave is not visible to eyes and they can easily propagate through vacuum. the average power travelling at a given period of time in a space is the intensity. Decibels is the measure of intensity. it is measured in the decibel scale. The wave's strength and the intensity gives the amplitude of wave. It is measured using meters.

The wave's amplitude and the energy has a direct proportionality. The number occurrence of wave cycles per second refers to the frequency of wave. it is measured in hertz. it is also measured as the number of cycles that occurs per second.

The first car has twice the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 9

kirill [66]

Answer:

Speed of the car 1 = $V_1=8.98m/s$

Speed of the car 2 = $V_2=17.96m/s$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car 1 , M₁ = Twice the mass of car 2(M₂)

mathematically,

M₁ = 2M₂

Kinetic Energy of the car 1 = Half the kinetic energy of the car 2

KE₁ = 0.5 KE₂

Now, the kinetic energy for a body is given as

$KE =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

thus,

$\frac{1}{2}M_1V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2$

or

$\frac{1}{2}2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2$

or

$2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times M_2V_2^2$

or

$2V_1^2=0.5\times V_2^2$

or

$4V_1^2= V_2^2$

or

$2V_1= V_2$ .................(1)

also,

$\frac{1}{2}M_1(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(V_2+9.0)^2$

or

$\frac{1}{2}2M_2(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(2V_1+9.0)^2$

or

$2(V_1+9.0)^2=(2V_1+9.0)^2$

or

$\sqrt{2}(V_1+9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)$

or

$(\sqrt{2}V_1+ \sqrt{2}\times 9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)$

or

$(\sqrt{2}V_1+ 12.72)=(2V_1+9.0)$

or

$(2V_1-\sqrt{2}V_1)=(12.72-9.0)$

or

$(0.404V_1)=(3.72)$

or

$V_1=8.98m/s$

and, from equation (1)

$V_2=2\times 8.98m/s = 17.96m/s$

Hence,

Speed of car 1 = $V_1=8.98m/s$

Speed of car 2 = $V_2=17.96m/s$
