In a mine, a dekoville of mass m = 400 kgcoal is drawn as shown in Figure 1. A short timeFor , the function of the force in the cable is F=(3200t2) N and tThe unit of is sec. The initial (t=0, s=0) speed of the carv =2m/sec, find the distance traveled by the car after t=2sec.
Question:
The mass is 10g and it is moving by 3 ants with an acceleartion of 1mm/s2 .then what is the total force applied by them and what is the individual force of each ant. if all force is coplanner.
What are some examples of the physics behind road deisgn? Thank you!
I am only focusing on road design physics, not the physics of car safety.
